<p>For a special afternoon treat, this Jacobean mansion is just the ticket with tea served in the sumptuous Drawing Room, Library or if the weather is good, outside on the sunny terrace. Three tiers of delicious pinwheel sandwiches, delicate pastries and traditional scones start at £37.50pp. There’s also a children&#8217;s tea available for £20.

Launched earlier in the year in partnership with the smash-hit musical showing at the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.novellotheatrelondon.info/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Novello Theatre</a>, just a 3-minute walk away (you could splash out and get tickets for the show too?), it’s a sublime mix of savoury and sweet treats inspired by characters and songs from the musical. You’ll be tucking into Donna’s Dynamo Ball, a coconut macaroon filled with citrus curd, and Sophie’s Dream Lemon Drizzle Gateau – lemon drizzle gateau topped with a candy floss cloud, washed down with a cuppa (or MAMMA MIA! martini).
