2016 marks England’s Year of The Garden and Hallmark Flitwick Manor has taken inspiration from its picturesque garden setting to bring the quintessentially British afternoon tradition outdoors, as it launches its ‘Flitwick Picnic Afternoon Tea Experience’ this July. The tea will be presented in a wicker hamper to enjoy in the hotel’s gardens, complete with picnic blankets and flasks of tea or coffee. But that’s not all, you can absolutely revel in quintessential British pleasures with a spot of croquet on the hotel’s lawn, or opt for the complete experience with the ‘Countryside Epicurean Escape’. This includes the Flitwick Picnic Afternoon Tea, overnight stay in one of the hotel’s 18 individually styled rooms and dinner from the brand new summer menu. Oh, and did we mention what the Afternoon Tea actually comprises of? Home baked scones, clotted cream and jam, freshly baked cakes and delicate finger sandwiches all prepared by Head Chef Stefano Boi and his team. Now, if that doesn’t evoke Enid Blyton and Lewis Carroll, we don’t know what will!
