Fawsley is well known for its exceptional Afternoon Tea offerings. There are several different options and choices also cater for young ones in the party, with mini scones and gingerbread men. Whether guests desire savoury treats such as pastrami bagel with mustard mayonnaise & dill pickles alongside hot chocolate or champagne, or if they prefer the good old-fashioned sweet delights of scones with lashings of fresh cream and preserve, lemon and elderflower cakes and chocolate caramel domes, there is plenty to tantalise.
What makes a meal at Fawsley Hall unique?
The variety of dishes, quality of food, and striking presentation, are second to none. Dining at Fawsley really is a treat to delight the senses.
If fine dining isn't the preference and the Tudor Bar menu is more to guests' liking, the same attention to detail and comfort is provided. Popping in for a gourmet beef burger or a chicken and pesto sandwich, after a long walk around the grounds, is just as satisfying.
