With spring in full bloom, enjoy a special family day out in the beautiful surroundings of RHS Garden Hyde Hall. Make the day extra special with our carvery or afternoon tea package.

In the Hilltop Lodge, enjoy a carvery of beef, chicken or gammon served with vegetables and a choice of desserts. The vegan main course option is Mushroom, potato, leek and kale wellington.

Or why not indulge yourself in afternoon tea in the rustic charm of the Thatched Barn? The menu includes finger sandwiches, a savoury bake, scones, sweet treats and a hot drink. 

Prosecco afternoon tea is also available for an additional cost. We’ve even got a special children’s afternoon tea package, which includes a fairy cupcake and a white chocolate rainbow.
