Indulge in an exquisite afternoon tea experience at the charming Forest Lodge Hotel, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the New Forest next to Lyndhurst. Stepping into the Forest Lodge Hotel, you'll be transported to a world of comfort and indulgence to enjoy your Alice in Wonderland themed afternoon tea - where time slows down and every sip and bite is a moment to savour.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion with loved ones or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, the afternoon tea experience offers a slice of luxury. The afternoon tea experience at Forest Lodge Hotel is a celebration of tradition and creativity, where you can enjoy a symphony of flavours and textures. Delicate finger sandwiches (including the Cheshire Cat’s cheddar cheese and chutney and The Caterpillar’s smoked salmon & cucumber) offer a delightful start to your culinary journey.
The sweet round consists of a sweet dark chocolate ‘Dor-mousse’, some macarons, a rhubarb and ginger cheesecake and The White Rabbit's white chocolate brownie. Of course, no afternoon tea is complete without warm, freshly baked scones, both fruit and plain, served with clotted cream and jam. Last but not least, don't forget your 'Tweedledee Char-tea', the great selection of teas including Winchester breakfast tea, Earl Grey, Rooibos and Moroccan mint. If you prefer to wash your afternoon tea down with something a little stronger, upgrade to include a glass of fizz.
Forest Lodge Hotel also offers plenty of easy-to-eat food that’s cooked to perfection, from marinated skewers, along with prime, hand-cut steaks, to a mix of artisan pizzas, hand crafted with the season’s very best toppings, so even those who aren’t drawn in by afternoon tea can enjoy the dining experience at this Lyndhurst establishment.
