The Hunny Pot Afternoon Tea arrives at Ashdown Park Hotel – from £38 pp with Elite Hotels
Set on the edge of the enchanting Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club, part of Elite Hotels – a privately-owned collection of three distinctive hotels in the UK – is marking the 100th anniversary of Winnie-the-Pooh with a year-long programme that brings literary heritage vividly to life. As the real-world inspiration for the Hundred Acre Wood, the forest invites families to wander the same rolling hills and ancient paths that sparked A.A. Milne’s timeless tales of Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore. More than just a walk in the woods, a visit to Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club feels like stepping into a storybook, blending literary nostalgia, outdoor discovery, and luxurious comfort into an experience that delights all ages. Highlights of the newly-launched Hunny Pot Afternoon Tea include Honey & Orange Cake with Whipped Cream Cheese Icing, Chocolate & Honeycomb Choux, and an array of woodland picnic sandwiches – such as Honey-Roasted Ham with Homemade Chutney. Classic favourites, such as honey and fruit scones with clotted cream, sit alongside playful creations like The Woozle Cheese & Ham Bake, Honey-Glazed Apple & Pork Sausage Rolls, and Bear’s Tasty Delights. Perfect for families and Pooh fans alike, it’s a charming, honey-sweet journey for every taste (inspired by the original stories, not affiliated with Disney). Prices are from £38 per adult and £16 per child, running until 30th November 2026. More information can be found on the website.
