The Art of Afternoon Tea

Quintessentially British

Settle into one of two saloons transporting you to the golden age of railway travel and indulge in a first class afternoon tea inspired by the flavours of The Newt.

Head of Food, Gelf Alderson has conjured a cheering menu of sublime sandwiches, scones and home-made sweet treats, celebrating ingredients grown, foraged and produced on our estate, offering a uniquely Somerset afternoon tea experience.

Afternoon tea for two (or more!) is served on Titanic crockery designed by Royal Crown Derby, who supplied the exquisite fine bone china dinner service to the first-class dining suite of the fated ship. Take in neo-classical decor from elegant lighting to fine marquetry and enjoy picturesque garden views while sipping on your choice of traditional loose-leaf tea, or sparkling Sprankel.

Afternoon Tea aboard The Maid of Somerset was designed as an adult-only experience, however should you wish to share it with children, we are happy to accommodate children ages 3+, please contact The Creamery team to arrange this.
