AFTERNOON TEAS FOR 2021 ARE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED


Treat yourself to afternoon tea daily* at Hever Castle & Gardens with vegan and gluten free options available too.

Traditional afternoon tea will be served daily in the elegant Guthrie Pavilion Restaurant with views across Hever Lake with sittings from midday to 4pm most days, lasting up to 90 minutes.

Visitors will be able to enjoy a variety of finger sandwiches of smoked salmon and cream cheese, cucumber and mint and ham and rocket. No afternoon tea would be complete without a homemade scone oozing with clotted cream and jam but the Hever Castle menu also includes a savoury tart and homemade sausage rolls ensuring that those with a sweet or savoury tooth are satisfied.

Vegan and gluten free options will need to be selected at the time of booking. Child friendly sandwich fillings of cheese or ham can be provided as an alternative to the standard menu, simply select the ‘child’ dietary option when booking.

The menu will be accompanied by a selection of traditional, fruit and herbal teas or coffee and guests can also add on Champagne or other refreshments to make it an extra special treat.
