Halloween Afternoon Tea at Sopwell House

Trick or Treat, Trick or Treat, give us something good to eat...

With fang-tastic delights such as the Chocolate brownie grave, Ghost meringue, Eyeball jelly, Pumpkin tart, Bleeding cupcake and Web carrot cakes, there is something ghoulishly delightful for everyone. No tricks, just treats…

Carve your freshly baked scones and smother them with Devonshire clotted cream and strawberry preserve.

Sopwell House will serve the array of spooktacular cakes and sandwiches in the Restaurant or Cocktail Lounge this autumn. The limited edition Halloween Afternoon Tea will be available daily, commencing on 29 October until 4 November 2018, from 12.30pm until 5pm.

Priced at £25.95 per person, or £35.95 per person including Champagne, this Halloween themed Afternoon Tea is the perfect way to celebrate the eerie occasion.
