Treat yourself to a nice little Afternoon Tea in Telford and you will find yourself sitting in the restaurant of a rather delightful country hotel in the heart of rural Shropshire. It's the perfect gift to celebrate with a best friend, treat someone in your family or celebrate a special occasion.

The gentle hum of conversation, the chinking of fine bone china tea cups on saucers and the distant sound of the coffee machine gurgling and whooshing. This is the typical blissful scene when you stroll into Haughton Hall for your afternoon tea experience

Nestled in 35 acres of countryside complete with fishing lake, gardens and woodland too, it's a rather lovely place to head to for your afternoon tea. Standing proud with its white-washed walls, this Georgian style manor house is warm and welcoming. Walk in to reception and you'll be shown to your table. There's the formal restaurant area that has that classic drawing room style, complete with crisp white linen tablecloths and the lounge bar, which has a more 'sofas and low table' feel with a modern colour scheme

The Haughton Hall waiting staff will look after you with attentive, yet discrete service, offering freshly brewed tea or coffee to accompany your afternoon tea. They will also serve you with a traditional platter, stacked with delicate finger sandwiches freshly made with classic fillings, as well as home-made scones with jams and cream and a selection of tasty cakes too.

Then there's a little extra treat that sets a Telford afternoon tea apart from the others - a chocolate fondue! A little pot of gorgeously gooey melted chocolate will be served on a tray adorned with fresh fruit morsels and colourful marshmallows ready to be dipped and devoured. Absolutely delicious!

And the final little touch of decadence? Why not go for the sparkling version of this Afternoon Tea in Telford and have a flute of Champagne brought over to you. Perfect for a toast to your afternoon of chatting, catching up and relaxing at lovely Haughton Hall over that quintessentially English tradition - all with a chocolatey twist included for the two of you too!
