Sweet treats follow, from delicate choux pastries to seasonal cakes, alongside freshly baked plain and fruit scones served with Devon clotted cream and strawberry jam.
Afternoon Tea can be enjoyed on its own or elevated with a glass of Pol Roger Brut, Champagne of choice for Sir Winston Churchill, adding an extra sense of occasion to your visit.
