There is something wonderfully timeless about afternoon tea. It is an opportunity to slow down, catch up with friends and family, and indulge in a selection of sweet and savoury delights. At The Heyford, afternoon tea has been carefully designed to deliver exactly that experience – thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and served in a beautiful setting.

Served within Baton, the hotel’s elegant glass-fronted restaurant overlooking Heyford Park’s village green, guests can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere surrounded by natural light and stylish décor. The attention to detail is evident from the moment the afternoon tea stand arrives at your table.

The experience begins with a selection of homemade finger sandwiches, freshly prepared and generously filled. Each sandwich is crafted with care, offering a balance of classic favourites and contemporary options to suit a variety of tastes.

Alongside the sandwiches, a selection of delicious mini quiches adds a savoury touch, perfectly complementing the traditional afternoon tea experience.

No afternoon tea would be complete without freshly baked scones, and The Heyford’s version does not disappoint. Served with strawberry jam and Cornish clotted cream, they provide that quintessentially British treat that guests look forward to most.

To finish, guests can enjoy the chef’s selection of petit fours. Beautifully presented and full of flavour, these bite-sized sweet creations provide the perfect finale to an indulgent afternoon.

For those looking to make the occasion extra special, there is also the option to upgrade with a glass of prosecco, adding a touch of celebration to the experience.

Whether you are marking a special occasion, catching up with friends, treating a loved one, or simply enjoying a leisurely afternoon, The Heyford’s afternoon tea offers a delightful combination of quality ingredients, careful preparation, and elegant presentation.

Please note that all afternoon teas must be pre-booked in advance. This ensures the kitchen can freshly prepare every element and deliver the high standard of quality that makes the experience so memorable.
