Afternoon Tea at Ashdown Park Hotel
The high tea at Ashdown Park Hotel has won awards, and
rightly so – the homemade cakes, sandwiches, and scones on
crisp bone china plates, the fruity jams and decadent clotted
creams, as well as the huge choice of teas speak for themselves
when it comes to quality and taste. You can enjoy your tea
in one of the period lounges or, in good weather, out on the
terrace overlooking the lawns and lake. If the mood strikes,
hotel staff will pack your high tea into a picnic hamper and you
can find your own perfect spot in the grounds. Delicacies such
as smoked Scottish salmon sandwiches, freshly baked scones
with Devonshire clotted cream and strawberry preserve, and
Ridgeview Bloomsbury sparkling wine are all included

Dinner at South Lodge Hotel
This is another level of chef’s
table! There are 26 covers
in this exquisite restaurant
(Michelin starred and with
four AA rosettes), and each
one is close up to the kitchen
action, with guests able to
watch talented chef Matt Gillan
creating the perfect dish right
before their eyes. Food here
includes seasonal specialities
and a wonderful ‘surprise
menu’; no need to choose your
food, your award-winning chef
will do it for you, and you’ll love
the result.
