FANCY SOME SUMMER INSPIRATION - we have two great suggestions at The Dorchester Collection's epitome of a relaxed luxury country house, Coworth Park, Ascot, Berkshire.
TRY A FLORAL INSPIRED MEADOW TEA
Summing up the Coworth Park's quintessential yet casual elegance is their magnificent wildflower meadow. Having an Afternoon Tea from the lounge or terrace offers a perfect view of this ecological wonderland, so it's not surprising it has inspired a summer update on the traditional afternoon tea and its pastries with exclusive fragrant hand-blended flower teas. Accompany the teas on a Thursday, or on request, Coworth Park's head of gardens Terri Crow is launching a series of informal garden walks lasting an hour or two, talking through the history of Lime Avenue, Sunken Garden, Kissing Cages, Ornamental Terraces and the meadow itself.
Pastries are accompanied by estate grown elderflower cordial, a selection of finger sandwiches and scones, and complemented by seasonal homemade compotes. Other Afternoon Tea selections are available.
2 sittings: 2.30pm - 4.15pm; 4.45pm - 6.30pm |
£29.00 per guest for Meadow Tea or £42.00 per guest for Champagne Meadow Tea |
