Updated: Sep 1
If you're looking for an afternoon tea in Staffordshire with a difference, step aboard The Duchess and experience this much-loved tradition at narrowboat pace.
Departing from Kings Bromley, our Afternoon Tea Cruises combine homemade food, beautiful countryside and a leisurely journey along the Trent & Mersey Canal.
Settle in, enjoy the view and let us take care of the rest.
Discover the Trent & Mersey Canal - Afternoon Tea Cruise in Staffordshire
Our Afternoon Tea Cruise in Staffordshire is a wonderfully different way to enjoy homemade food while taking in the beautiful scenery of the Trent & Mersey Canal.
From the moment The Duchess leaves Kings Bromley Waterside & Marina, life seems to slow down a little. The scenery changes beyond the windows, wildlife appears along the towpath and there's the gentle rhythm of the canal as you make your way through the Staffordshire countryside.
Inside, The Duchess has been lovingly restored to create an intimate dining space with a relaxed, luxurious feel.
And with only 12 guests aboard, it feels a world away from a busy restaurant or hotel.
Homemade Food, Beautifully Served
Food is at the heart of The Duchess experience.
Your afternoon tea is prepared with care and includes a selection of finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones and homemade sweet treats, served to your table as you cruise.
Enjoy tea or coffee alongside your food, or make the afternoon even more special with a glass of Prosecco from our licensed bar - or even upgrade to bottomless!
There's nowhere else you need to be and nothing you need to do – other than enjoy it.
Made for Celebrating
Birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, family get-togethers or simply an overdue catch-up with friends – we've created The Duchess for the occasions when you want to do something a little more memorable.
For an even more personal experience, the whole boat can be reserved exclusively for your group.
With space for up to 12 guests, a private cruise gives you your own intimate floating venue for the afternoon, with food, drinks and ever-changing views along the way.
