Afternoon Tea ‘Week of Wonders’ at The Glenlo Abbey Hotel

To celebrate the completion of the recent refurbishment of the hotel and re-development of the golf course, Glenlo Abbey Hotel has announced an Afternoon Tea ‘Week of Wonders’ event.

From the 24th-30th of October the 5* hotel will pair a different theme each day with wondrous and mouth-watering creations from Head Chef Alan McArdle and his kitchen brigade.

The hotel is most recognised for its unique fine dining restaurant aboard two former carriages of the Orient Express and this forms the setting for the opening day of the ‘Week of Wonders’.
