Let’s be honest: no one talks about The Goring. And that’s exactly why you should go. It’s the secret weapon of afternoon tea. Kate Middleton slept here before her wedding. That’s right, the actual princess.
The setting is pure British countryside chic. You can sit outside in the garden on a sunny day, surrounded by ivy and nesting birds. It’s like a hug from your grandmother, if your grandmother was a duchess.
Their egg and cress sandwiches are legendary. The scones come with clotted cream that’s thick enough to stand a spoon in. And no one is rushing you. You can stay for two hours and talk nonsense. Book it. Thank me later.
