Breakfast Your breakfast can be served individually plated, from a buffet, or family style on the meeting table. Afternoon Tea It is said that Anna Russell, 7th Duchess of Bedford, invented Afternoon Tea in 1840. This was to satisfy her peckishness during the long wait between lunch and dinner. Today, we are proud to continue this English ritual. Lunch Dishes become more robust during the autumn and winter months as the chefs cook with nostalgic and evolving techniques that focus on capturing the best flavours from the produce. Desserts Prepared and served fresh each day, our menu faithfully follows the traditional combination of sweet and savoury.
