Kent & East Sussex Railway will be putting the cream on your heritage day out, in 2016, offering traditional afternoon teas at Tenterden Station’s refreshment rooms.
Considered the country’s finest example of a light rural railway, the 101/2 -mile route takes passengers through stunning English countryside and transports you back to a bygone age. Once you’ve experienced this wonderfully nostalgic journey - and perhaps paid a visit to another historic icon, Bodiam Castle - why not round off your trip with a quintessentially English treat?
Served up on crisp white linen tablecloths, the elegant afternoon teas include finger sandwiches, a selection of pastries and, of course, a warm scone, butter, clotted cream and a preserve. Standard afternoon teas are served with tea or coffee, or you can add some extra sparkle with a 200ml bottle of Prosecco.
Kent & East Sussex Railway offers an ideal day out for a birthday, anniversary or other celebration and you can make your afternoon tea even more special, by adding a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
The refreshment rooms are open every day that the trains are operating. Advance booking is recommended to avoid disappointment. Standard afternoon teas (with tea or coffee) cost £15 per person; with Prosecco, £20 per person. Bouquets can be included for an additional £25.
Train journeys can also be booked at an additional cost with the added benefit of a 10% discount when booked online.
