Guests can enjoy ‘tea and biscuits’ with a delicious cookie flavoured with Earl Grey tea, lemon and almond, and capture the Queen of Hearts with a cupcake sponge topped with white heart frosting.
Finally, don't miss the "Drink Me" inspired cherry jelly in a shot glass, presented with freeze-dried raspberries and a white chocolate and honeycomb sprinkle.
Accompanying these themed delights are the choice of delicious scones served with clotted cream and preserves, a sandwich selection, plus a selection of teas or other hot drinks.
