Treat yourself to a delicious cream tea, a slice of homemade cake, an ice cream or savoury snack in our cosy riverside tea-room.
Delicious scones are baked daily here at Houghton using our own freshly milled wholemeal flour.
Why not try baking them yourself following our simple recipe?
On sunny summer days you can enjoy views of the Ouse in cool shade by the willows at one of our parasoled tables.
