Afternoon Tea in West Sussex
A traditional comforting treat to be
enjoyed - afternoon tea in Sussex sitting in a bay window with
spring sunshine streaming through, relaxing outside on a blazing
summer's day, overlooking the display of autumn colours,
or snuggled deep in a sofa by a roaring log fire in the depths
of winter. South Lodge Hotel offers a delicious country house
tea in every season.
A treat
awaits...
The lounges and terraces, weather permitting,
at South Lodge Hotel in West Sussex, are the perfect spot for
relaxing with afternoon tea in Horsham.
Anna, 7th Duchess of Bedford, is reputed to
have introduced the tradition of taking Afternoon Tea in the early
1840’s to appease her appetite in the long hours between an early
lunch and a late supper. From her boudoir she sent to the
kitchen for a pot of water, bread and butter and cakes; she would
brew her own tea. Anna is said to have shared the idea with
friends and by the end of the decade Afternoon Tea had become a
widespread social event.
Here at South Lodge Hotel we are delighted to
continue the tradition. Serving freshly cut sandwiches,
homemade scones with preserves and clotted cream, a range of cakes
and pastries with a wide selection of teas,
Afternoon tea in Sussex is an indulgent
treat like no other!
