Enjoy our sumptuous interpretation of the ritual that began in the 1800s, when the 7th Duchess of Bedford found a way to fill the ‘hungry’ gap between lunch and supper. Afternoon Tea is served daily featuring a selection of delicious savoury and sweet treats along with our homemade buttermilk scones.

Join us at your preferred sitting, 12-1.30pm, 2-3.30pm or 4-5.30pm and delight in an hour of live music with our resident pianist or famous Pump Room Trio. Enjoy our traditional Pump Room Afternoon Tea with choice of tea or coffee and refills on request. And why not add a chilled glass of English sparkling wine or non-alcoholic Strawberry, Elderflower and Ginger Fizz Mocktail?

Bookings may be made for up to 6 guests online. Please book via phone on 01225 477935 or email us at pumproom@searcys.co.uk for parties of 7 and over. We welcome groups of up to 20 maximum.

We are not, however, able to offer a 100% sterile environment, with all dishes served on a “may contain basis”.

We require pre-payment in full during the booking process to confirm your reservation. Additional drinks and items can then be ordered at the table, and a discretionary 12% service charge will also be added to your bill on the day.

Cancellations can be made with 48 hours' notice from the reservation time for a full refund. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the reservation time are not refundable.

I’m afraid we are not able to allow luggage/large baggage into the restaurant, so please do contact us for further advice, if required.
