Meet Mrs Bonham, our formidable housekeeper, who still thinks it’s the 1800s, and take afternoon tea with her in the Garden Room.
While groups enjoy the delights of our hand-prepared food, Mrs Bonham will regale visitors with tales of life as a head servant on the estate and of etiquette within the Servants' Hall.
This superbly entertaining experience is £7.50 per person which includes general admission plus either £5.95 for afternoon tea or £3.25 for a cream tea.
PLEASE NOTE: This is only available to groups of 15 more and must be booked in advance.
