Maria’s Tea Room & Gift Shop

Find Maria’s Tea Room & 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 our fabulous team of chefs for you to enjoy

Everything is made in house, using locally sourced produce.

Maria’s Tea Room is dog friendly, well behaved pooches on leads welcome (there’s even doggy ice-cream for your four legged friends).

Ice-creams are a must, especially on a sunny summer’s day in the courtyard – but we wouldn’t say no to a decadent ice-cream sundae in the depths of winter!
