Second tier - our famous Dobbies scones served with Cornish clotted cream & a mini pot of jam

Top tier - a scrumptious selection of delicious, sweet treats including our blackberry delice, fruit cream tart, carrot cake and a mini macaron 

You'll recieve an extra savoury plate of prawn marie rose vol au vents, savoury cheese vol au vents and sausage rolls

Plus a pot of tea or coffee with unlimited refills  

 Add to your experience:  

  • Upgrade your hot drink to a delicious latte (120kcal), cappuccino (128kcal), mocha (275kcal), hot chocolate (275kcal) or speciality tea (12kcal) for just £0.50 extra (no unlimited refills)  
  • Make your afternoon tea a special occasion and upgrade with a 200ml bottle of Prosecco, for only £6.50 per adult aged 18 and over (payable at point of booking)

Planting 

After your Afternoon Tea you will make your way to our plant area where one of our Green Team will host a Q&A and demo to teach you all about the selection of seasonal plants. We’ll provide you with gloves and all the tools you'll need, plus one of our new Cotswold planters made of 100% recycled plastic material, making it durable and lightweight, in your choice of white or aqua. You will also have a variety of spring favourite plants to choose from, carefully selected by our plant buyer, Nigel 

You’ll then create your very own planter (worth up to £40) which is yours to take away and enjoy for months to come
