Afternoon Tea

Enjoy the peaceful garden of the Greyfriars whilst having a cup of tea, cake or cream-tea.

All cakes are made locally by Hanbury Hall using local produce including their own grown fruit and vegtables and eggs from their free-range chickens.

2012 sees an inside tea-shop opening for the chilly spring and winter periods. There will still be teas in the garden when the weather improves but until then, you can enjoy a slice of cake in the Spence.
