A closer look at the top tier of our new Autumn & Winter Afternoon Tea.

Pictured here: twice-baked chocolate cake with salted caramel ganache, seasonal apple & blackberry crumble, and classic mini Victoria sponges—all baked fresh by our bakery team.

Paired with warm scones, savoury mini brioche buns, and hot pots of Bellevue tea, it is the best way to warm up after a walk across the common.

Because every stand is prepared fresh to order, our tables are limited each day and weekend slots fill up very quickly.
• £29 per person (includes a £2 donation to local friends group)
• Tots (£9) & Junior (£15) teas available

Reserve your table up to 3 days in advance via the link in our bio, or visit rootsandberries.co.uk/afternoon-tea before spaces go.

Park trips always call for a quick pitstop.

Good thing you can find Pip Organics in the fridges at our café - simple organic juices and fruity lollies ready for little hands after a run around the grass!

Coffee anyone?

The best beans from curiousroocoffeeroasters , wonderful independent roastery based in Chiswick with a passion for excellent coffee.
Fun fact! All of our baristas receive training from the talented team at Curious Roo’s coffee school.

Our milk all comes from Jersey & Holstein cows on a farm in the heart of the Lune Valley. We are proud to have Brades Farm on our list of suppliers, not only because their milk is of wonderful quality but because they really look after their herds.

If you are a regular, grab yourself a loyalty card and your 10th hot drink will be free!
