Welcome to
The Palace Tea Room
The Victorians turned tea drinking into a stylish ritual for ladies adding food delicacies and making it a social occasion. Here at the Palace Tea Room any occasion is a special occasion and we welcome everyone, ladies, gentlemen and children, to enjoy our fine selection of teas and extensive menu.
Start the day smiling with our delicious breakfast, join us for a tempting lunch, indulge in our heavenly afternoon tea or just drop in for
a refreshing drink and a snack.
Meet…
Earl Grey
British Prime Minister and reformer, he loved his tea and gave his name to our favourite blend. He was so impressed by a gift of tea from a Chinese envoy that he based his own recipe on it, using bergamot oil; it’s said the tea was perfectly suited to the water at Howick Hall, his family home.
