Afternoon Tea is served daily from 12 noon – 5pm and on Sundays from 3pm – 5pm.

Please call to make a reservation in advance of your visit, as occasionally the hotel is fully booked with a private event.

We welcome party bookings for afternoon tea – ideal for family gatherings to celebrate christenings, birthdays and anniversaries – with private rooms available for larger gatherings. Please see Special Celebrations.

You are welcome to enjoy our selection of afternoon teas in the Bar, Sitting Room and Drawing Room, or on the Terrace during summer months.

Our Tea Selection

After tasting many teas and testing lots of suppliers we have found we had the best in flavoursome and interesting teas on our doorstep. We are proud to be offering tea from Taylors of Harrogate. For three generations their family business has been blending excellent tea which are served in the splendour of Swinton Park.

Swinton Park is a member of the Tea Guild and is honored to have been awarded the prestigious “Award of Excellence” in recognition of the quality of the ingredients used and service of tea.

All our teas can be served as they are or with milk or lemon. Please find below a selection of what you may find on our menu:

Leaf Teas

Swinton Park’s Blend
A blend that has been made especially for us. Very similar to Yorkshire Tea and perfect for all-day drinking.

Assam Single Estate
From the finest Assam tea grown in the Brahmaputra Valley in North-East India. This tea is selected from the second flush when leaves are at their best. The flavour is distinctively malty.
