Eating out is high up on the list. Lunch a firm favourite. The Ballroom sees a fine menu and our pick of the day features Deep Fried Brie for starters, to Fish and Chips for mains, to an irresistable Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert. Priced at £27.95 per person for two courses, this offers not only great value but also an exceptional setting within a country house and stately home with grounds at Colwick Hall Hotel.
With little ones in tow, an afternoon tea ticks the box adding a little less formality. The ability to dive in and out and savour each tier with a sip of fizz or fine teas to suit. Light finger sandwiches to a savoury middle tier with a spring pea soup to our freshly baked homemade plain scones on the top tier with lashings of clotted cream and fruit preserve.
In recommending Afternoon Tea as a shortlist on top tips for Mother’s Day, the sweet slate and its formulation is a resounding reason. Starting with a raspberry cupcake with raspberry frosting gives the very satisfying feeling in the tummy. With spring in step, a lemon Swiss roll softly dusterd with sugar, simply melts in the mouth. The tiramisu cheesecake, quite divine. A chocolate & orange tort with candied orange is not just pretty but truly packs a punch.
Gifts, be they gift experiences or gift vouchers make a brilliant present. Especially so if you happen to live further away and cannot necessarily make it in person. Shopping for a host of wonderful experiences be they a luxury stay, pamper box, tea for two, steak night, or staycation – here are some ideas for inspiration.
Nestled within the Colwick Country Park in Nottingham, tranquil nature strolls make for perfect relaxation and quality time together. Walks in the woodlands, and meandering around two large lakes and a marine featuring flat, accessible paths, fine circular trais are ideal for wildlife spotting too. Hugely picturesque and for more details follow this link.
Bookings can either be made online or message us for any special requests. Overnight accommodation can also be booked direct at the hotel.
