Served in the Historic Drawing Room
Afternoon tea at Grendon Hall is ideal for those seeking a more refined countryside escape — whether you are meeting friends, spending time with family, or celebrating something special.
For guests joining us as part of a spa day, spa break or retreat, afternoon tea offers the perfect complement to wellness — a moment of indulgence, warmth and comfort within the estate’s historic heart.
The Drawing Room can also be reserved for private group bookings on selected dates, creating an intimate and elegant setting for small celebrations.
The Drawing Room is one of the Hall’s most distinguished spaces. Handcrafted wall panelling wraps the room in warmth and character, while the proportions and detailing create an unmistakable sense of occasion. In the cooler months, the soft glow of the log burner brings a cosy intimacy to the room, offering the perfect contrast to its stately grandeur. In warmer seasons, natural light fills the space and the estate grounds provide a calm and picturesque backdrop.
From the moment you arrive, every detail is designed to feel special.
