Nestled in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, Inglewood Manor is a beautifully preserved Edwardian country house offering timeless elegance, tranquil surroundings, and warm hospitality.

Whether you’re escaping the city for a peaceful afternoon or planning a celebration with friends and family, Afternoon Tea at Inglewood Manor offers a calm and character-filled experience in one of the North West’s most charming rural venues.

A Classic Afternoon Tea in an Elegant Setting
Afternoon Tea at Inglewood Manor is served in the restaurant, lounge, or on the terrace, each area offering views of the estate and its tranquil grounds. With oak-panelled interiors, open fireplaces, and traditional furnishings, the setting evokes the relaxed luxury of a bygone era, making it a perfect match for this quintessentially British tradition.

The Traditional Afternoon Tea is served on a tiered stand and includes a selection of finger sandwiches, made fresh with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Classic fillings include smoked salmon with cream cheese, cucumber and dill, ham with wholegrain mustard, and egg mayonnaise with watercress. Each is delicately prepared and presented with care.

Next come the warm scones, both plain and fruit, accompanied by generous portions of clotted cream and strawberry preserve. The scones are baked in-house and served fresh, soft in the middle, with a light crust, and full of traditional comfort.

The top tier is a showcase of homemade sweet treats, including mini cakes, tartlets, and pastries, which change with the seasons. Expect items such as lemon drizzle cake, chocolate eclairs, Victoria sponge, and fruit-topped shortbreads. Each one thoughtfully crafted and beautifully presented.
