High Tea

Beneath waving fans and crystal chandeliers, The Palm Court is a memorable setting for a leisurely High Tea. With the resident pianist tinkling the ivories, High Tea is a sophisticated affair.

The buffet table is laid generously with platters of both sweet and savoury treats, whilst local culinary traditions are celebrated in the crisp samoosas and fragrant chilli bites. Those with a sweet tooth will love the delicate buttermilk apple crumble, chocolate tarts and the teatime classic: fresh scones with cream and preserves.

High Tea in The Palm Court is hosted daily, and both resident guests and visitors are welcome.
