About This Adventure
Indulge in a delightful afternoon tea experience at Pant Station, featuring a lavish spread of scones, clotted cream, sandwiches, cakes, and more. Served alongside your choice of beverages, this memorable treat is perfect after your morning train journey or before your afternoon departure, often leaving guests with a 'doggy bag' to savor later.
Your table is set with an array of scones, clotted cream, jam, assorted sandwiches, cakes, French pastries, and fresh fruit. Complimented with tea, coffee, water, or juice.
Served from 12.30 pm to 1.30 pm, this is the perfect indulgence after your 10.30 am train journey or before the 2.30 pm departure. Whether paired with a scenic ride or enjoyed on its own, this is an experience not to be missed! Though it's called afternoon tea, the generous portions often lead to guests leaving with a 'doggy bag'!
PLEASE NOTE This service is offered in our Pant Station tea rooms, not on the train. Train travel is not included and must be booked separately.
