We have a weird confession, we’re sticklers for the rules. So, when Marie Antoinette declared 'Let them eat cake', we had no choice but to oblige with today’s deal…

We’re offering you an afternoon tea for two people for just £19.95, or with a glass of bubbly each for £22, saving you up to 50% off Hardwicke Hall's prices.

What better way to treat yourself than indulging in the Great British tradition of afternoon tea? Prepare to be delighted at Hardwicke Hall! Today's elegant deal sees you enjoy a traditional afternoon tea, including scrumptious sandwiches on fluffy white or wholemeal country bread, followed by sweet fancies such as strawberry cheesecake, chocolate eclairs and fruit meringues. No afternoon tea is complete without freshly baked fruit scones, served with strawberry jam and Chantilly cream, of course! This feast is accompanied by a hot tea or coffee, and if you upgrade you can 'cheers' to the luxury with a glass of bubbly each, too! There'll also be ample opportunity to soak up the beautiful rural setting that this hotel has to offer. Enjoy!
