If you remember my post from the other week about the Cookery School at Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, I told you all that I’d also be posting about the afternoon tea at Le Manoir! After our morning cookery lesson we were given a tour of the beautiful grounds at Le Manoir, and then treated to the most delicious treats in the conservatory.
As well as the vegetable patch and flower areas, there’s also a beautiful large pond, and a Japanese Garden to stroll around.
After finding out about the stunning gardens, we made our way to afternoon tea.
I avoided champagne as I’d had a glass earlier and I was driving, so I dove straight into the treats. I absolutely loved the fact the savoury options weren’t sandwiches. I do get bored of sandwiches with afternoon tea, so it was fab to have something different. They were canape style savoury bites, and each one tasted divine!
Sadly my DSLR battery ran out at this point, so I had to use my Lumix GF5 instead for the rest of the photos. I was good and only had one scone, I’m not a huge scone person, but they were delicious!
The desserts at the Le Manoir afternoon tea were absolutely incredible. Every single one of them was delicious. We even had enough left for each of us to take a couple home! The macarons were hands down the best I’ve ever tasted, and the following day all I wanted was the strawberry cheesecake!
We had such a lovely day at Belmond Le Manoir, and I hope that one day I find someone special enough to share a stay at the hotel with. It’s so beautiful and really quite something.

I absolutely loved the afternoon tea here too, I see that they've changed the desserts slightly but they were equally good when I went

Never mind the afternoon tea, look at those gardens! LUSH LUSH LUSH LUSH. I'd happily roll around with wild abandon all over those perfectly manicured lawns to this glorious tune – cake and scones would be the bonus 😉 x

Beautiful gardens and the food just looks delicious. I must have afternoon tea some time. I always forget how nice it is.
This place looks so amazing, you could spend the whole day there just lounging and exploring with food already sorted! I love their commitment to providing and producing good food.
