Celebrate the Coronation at Down Hall Hotel, Spa & Estate

Inspired by the regal décor of the hotel's 19th century Italianate mansion and stunning surroundings, the 'Tea Fit for a King' experience will feature an exquisite selection of dainty finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and Tiptree jams, and beautifully crafted sweet treats. Perfect for the whole family to enjoy, begin with classics of Scottish smoked salmon with dill mayonnaise; caramelised red onion and brie tart; and, fittingly, Coronation chicken; before delighting your sweet tooth with the Royal Family's favourite – a chocolate biscuit cake; as well as lemon cream eclairs; and English rose and white chocolate mousse. Soak up the sunshine while sipping on an assortment of classic and seasonal teas, or why not raise a glass to the King with a Martini, his favourite tipple!* The afternoon tea is priced at £40 Monday to Friday (served 2-5:30pm) and £42.50 on the weekend (served 1–5:30pm) with children under 12 dining for half price. Guests visiting on the day of the Coronation (Saturday, 6th May) can watch history unfold on the large TV screens placed throughout the hotel.
