Punting with your dogs - enjoy some free time together on the river!
Afternoon Tea Punt Tour
Punt and Afternoon Tea
Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of toast and tea
From The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (T.S. Eliot)
There is little more traditionally English than punting followed by an exclusive afternoon tea. With this in mind, we have developed a perfect package with Graduate by Hilton Cambridge to allow you to enjoy both of these 'must do' English activities.
After your inspiring private punt tour of the beautiful College Backs, you will retire to the comfort of Graduate Cambridge’s restaurant and bar, Garden House. Here you will be treated to a mouth-watering selection of sandwiches, scones and sweet treats overlooking the River Cam.
Afternoon Tea Menu
The perfect post-punting afternoon tea from Garden House, a sustainable, informal and contemporary restaurant with a focus on seasonal East Anglian produce. The afternoon tea includes a rotating collection of sandwiches such as oak smoked salmon and cave aged cheddar cheese, scones and sweet treats such as a clementine cheese cake.
Sample menu, full menu subject to change seasonally.
