Maria's Tea Room and Gift Shop

Find Maria’s Tea Room and Gift Shop in the pretty Italian courtyard at Samlesbury Hall.

Enjoy a hot cuppa over a scrumptious selection of home baked cakes, scones and traybakes.  There are also some super savouries, including scotch eggs, sausage rolls and pies, all made by the fabulous team of chefs for you to enjoy.

Everything is made in house, using locally sourced produce.  Well behaved dogs, on leads, are welcome.  There’s even doggy ice-cream for four legged friends.

Ice-creams are a must, especially on a sunny summer’s day in the courtyard, but would say no to a decadent ice-cream sundae in winter?
