Festive Afternoon Tea

Take a little time away from the Christmas bustle with Festive Afternoon Tea at Careys Manor Hotel & SenSpa in Brockenhurst.

Gather around the table for a seasonal selection of savouries, including a turkey and cranberry slider, crayfish vol-au-vent and Welsh rarebit. Then move on to warm plain or cranberry and orange scones with jam and clotted cream, followed by festive cakes and pastries. There’s chestnut and dark chocolate tart, Christmas cake, gingerbread men and a rather cheerful snowman choux bun.

Everything is served with a choice of Birchall’s tea or Fairtrade coffee. For an extra touch of celebration, add a glass of Taittinger Champagne or enjoy 90 minutes of bottomless Prosecco and Nozeco.

Festive Afternoon Tea is served from 2pm–4pm, 28 November to 2 January, priced at £28 per person. Gluten-free and vegan options are available; vegan afternoon tea requires up to 24 hours’ notice.
