A selection of delicious finger sandwiches for both vegetarians and those who enjoy fish and meat, a selection of fruit, fresh pastries and a variety of cakes and scones were offered to us after we finished sipping our fist cup of tea. Members of the hotel team were always nearby to offer anything we needed and advise on types of tea that could tickle our fancy. Should you take a liking to them enjoying afternoon tea at the De Vere Orchard Hotel (which we’ve no doubt you will), you can get hold of their delicious selection of tea at Nottingham Tourism Centre located on Smithy Row, just off Old Market Square.Įveryone on the terrace enjoying afternoon tea was thoroughly looked after by the staff. All tea options were supplied by Snail and Rabbit – a local and family run company based in West Bridgford. We opted for Cactus green tea first followed by sips of Earl Grey’s Wife, Vtamin Bomb and Ginger and Apple. There were over 10 types of loose-leaf tea that we were invited to sample, ranging from fruity green teas such as the intriguingly named Cactus, and white tea including Strawberry and Champagne, right up to the classic black varieties with notes of ginger and cinnamon. We chose to sit at one of the tables, which was shaded and started sampling from a selection of tea on offer. It was lovely out on the terrace, with great views of the perfectly landscaped gardens of the campus. There we were greeted by a very smiley member of the Orchard Hotel team who offered us a glass of fresh fruit juice or prosecco and informed us that afternoon tea would be served outside. The hotel’s 202 bedrooms are also renowned for their contemporary feel.īut we’re not here to talk about hotel’s wonderful reception area or bedrooms! Once we’ve stopped gawping at the reception area, we took the stairs up to the hotel’s terrace area. As soon as you’re through the revolving glass door (there are automatic doors too, making the building fully accessible), you’ll be in awe of the spacious, bright and contemporary reception area. The exterior of the De Vere Orchard Hotel is a real treat for the eye, with its stunning, glass-front and impressively designed curved, wooden canopy. It was the perfect day for a picnic-themed afternoon tea the sun was shining, it was a Friday afternoon and perhaps most importantly, we were feeling quite peckish! The weather has been very kind to us recently, so we were excited to venture into the heart of the University of Nottingham’s Park Campus, where Bramleys Brasserie in the De Vere Orchard Hotel is nestled.
