Afternoon Tea is one of England’s most cherished traditions, dating back to 1840 – and where better to enjoy it than in the historic surroundings of a 12th-century castle in the heart of Darlington and the North East?
Served in our cosy lounge or, on sunny days, out on the patio, our Afternoon Tea features a delicious selection of dainty sandwiches, homemade cakes, and freshly baked scones with clotted cream and preserves. Accompanied by a pot of tea or coffee, it’s the perfect way to indulge and unwind.
