Afternoon Teas

English Afternoon Tea

Monday – Saturday: served between 2.30 and 6.00pm.
Sunday: served between 3.30 and 6.00pm.

The West Lodge Park tradition, served in the Terrace Bar, in the hotel lounge and on the terrace when fine. No more civilised way to pass the day than with a delicious afternoon tea followed by a stroll around the beautiful 35 acres of grounds surrounding the hotel.

Enjoy the 800 species of trees in the Beale Arboretum. Try your hand at a free game of croquet on the lawn, or a game of putting by the lake.

Our teas change seasonally and from month to month we will offer a special afternoon tea which can be seen on our blackboards when available.

    Hi Ben

    We all had a fabulous time yesterday, the tea was outstanding and Mary had such a lovely 90th

    Big thanks to all your staff, one in particular was brilliant but after a lot of champagne I can't remember his name but I can remember his birthday was on Saturday !

    Regards

    Dear Mr Beale

    I just wanted to drop you an e-mail to say how much I enjoyed a recent Afternoon Tea at West Lodge Park.  One of the contributory factors of this was the excellent, friendly and helpful service that Kamel provided on the day – a very nice chap and someone whom I think should be recognised.  I shall certainly be returning to West Lodge Park.

    With kind regards
    Chrissie Neve - Director Primary Health Care Centres (Developments) Ltd.
