Food and Drink
The tradition of taking Afternoon Tea first originated in Woburn Abbey. It was the 7th Duke's wife, Duchess Anna Maria, who decided as it was too long to wait between lunch and dinner, she would ask for some light sandwiches, cake and a pot of tea.
On the day of your visit celebrate this fine tradition by treating yourself to the Duchess Anna Maria Afternoon Tea at the Duchess' Tea Room within the Abbey grounds or at the estate's hotel, the Inn at Woburn, in the heart of Woburn (The Duchess Anna Maria Afternoon Tea must be pre-booked).
The Duchess' Tea Room also offers many delicious treats and tasty meal options with daily specials and homemade cakes and a wide selection of Suki teas to chose from.
Pre-booked meals for groups
Groups can pre-book a hot two course lunch with tea or coffee at the Duchess' Tea Room (or at The Inn at Woburn) as well as morning coffee, tea and biscuits upon your arrival.
The Duchess' Tea Room and The Inn at Woburn also serve a delicious Afternoon Tea for groups (pre-booked only).
