There was a Cider and Sausage Festival on. We brought advance tickets. What a lovely afternoon, it was £10 for 4 tokens. 1 token is for 1/2 a pint. You can try any sample of the ciders. Lots of choices. Some really lovely flavors , including Mango...Pina Colada...Plum... Strawberry...Pineapple...Sour cherry .. Raspberry and lemonade .Blackcurrant...Rhubarb. There were food places there to get fast food.. Hot dogs, loaded chips, waffles etc There was music, live singers.

During our UK trip we were treated to such an incredible experience at the Delapré Abbey. Our taste buds truly went on an adventure like no other! Each course was paired with a complimentary wine and was absolutely delicious. Our waiters were extremely knowledgeable on each dish and wine pairing which was very impressive. One of our waitresses was actually from South Africa too so it was nice to hear a familiar accent during our dinner. The overall atmosphere and fine dining experience is sone I will take with me forever. Thank you for such a tremendously special evening. I hope to be back someday.

Bit of a mixed bag for afternoon tea in the orangey/hibiscus. It was a bank holiday granted but service was still slow, we had a booking but were left standing by the front door for 10 mins before anyone came to see us. While the afternoon tea was fancy, beautifully presented and tasty, the portion size was tiny for a £60+ afternoon tea for two. They've done the usual trap of having very posh looking food but giving you a very small amount of it. The surrounding and decor were lovely with the restaurant being very tastefully decorated. Again, let down by the state of the toilet and the suspicious puddles on the floor. All in all i did enjoy it but i don't think id be in a rush to come back on a weekend/bank holiday again
