Cinderella Afternoon Tea

Lose a slipper and follow the sparkle...our Cinderella Afternoon Tea arrives from July 1 to September 6, inspired by the timeless fairy tale of glass slippers, pumpkin coaches and happily-ever-afters.

Step into a world of fairy godmothers, grand balls and midnight magic, where dreams come true, kindness is rewarded and every table feels fit for royalty.

A smaller children's version of this Afternoon Tea is available with child-friendly sandwiches. For a little extra sparkle, upgrade to include a glass of award-winning Flint Vineyard Charmat, Norfolk's (better!) answer to Prosecco, for £45 per person inclusive.

This tea is available for the following diets: no allergens, intolerances or preferences (Classic), with 24-hours’ notice, vegetarian or dairy-free or vegan or gluten-free (menus below) and with 48 hours’ notice, vegetarian and gluten-free, vegetarian and dairy-free and dairy-free and gluten-free. For guests with multiple dietary requirements, we now offer a non-themed allergen tea. We are unable to adapt the cakes in this tea for nut-free diners.

All bookings are for one of our Georgian dining rooms, including the restaurant and Ivory Room, these will be allocated according to table requirements on the day.
