Winston Churchill’s Afternoon Tea at Blenheim Palace 

History buffs will be seriously impressed by not only Blenheim Palace’s magnificent grounds but also by a very special high tea menu inspired by Winston Churchill, who spent much of his childhood at the palace and proposed to his future wife Clemmie there. The afternoon tea menu features dishes Churchill would have loved – Welsh rarebit and pickled onion, chicken and mushroom pie, and Smoked salmon and caviar muffin, followed by homemade buttermilk plain and fruit scones, clotted cream and strawberry jam and a selection of cakes. On top of signature Searcys bakes, our Winston Churchill fruit cake has been created using local fruit from Oxfordshire suppliers just for the occasion. The menu comes complete with Pol Roger Brut Reserve – Churchill’s favourite Champagne.

Family picnics at Blenheim Palace and Exbury Gardens 

Last but not least, treating your dad to a special day out doesn’t always have to involve sitting in a restaurant. Why not opt for a mid-summer trip to Exbury Gardens in the New Forest for a low-key and yet luxurious picnic among the historic grounds? The gardens have more than a century of history, with an old-fashioned steam train and 200 acres of magical woodland full of picnicking spots.

In Oxfordshire, Blenheim Palace also has tempting picnic options, freshly prepared by Searcys’ team of chefs and delivered in stylish jute bags. After a walk around the grounds, guests can enjoy a British cheese Ploughman’s, quiche salad, followed by scones, and cakes and goodies galore. Comes with Searcys Cuvée Champagne, or a bottle of Moet et Chandon Imperial Brut (Exbury Gardens) or Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Brut (Blenheim Palace).
