Enjoy a treat from the Mary-Jane tea-room

After exploring this magical house why not enjoy a delicious cream tea on our lawn overlooking the wildflower meadow.

Our award-winning licensed tea-room offers lots of delicious homemade cakes and light meals. A Devonshire experience with every bite, most of our ingredients are sourced from local farms, from the smoked chicken to the south Devon sweet chilli jam and clotted cream.

There's plenty of space to eat inside our cosy tea-room or out on the lawn taking in the views.

You can book our tea-room for private functions. To find out more, email us or call 01395 265514. There is no charge for entry to the grounds and tea-room at A la Ronde.
