Tea * Teabags in paper cups
Cakes * Awful pre-packaged rubbish. This is sad because home made cakes were formerly available here. No doubt National Trust bureaucracy demands that cakes shouild be wrapped in plastic and not baked locally. On the positive side, very good chips and hot pasties are served
Location **** Superb lakeside location
Ambience ****Friendly staff and fast service.

Hatfield House
The home of the 7th Marquess and Marchioness of Salisbury and their family.
The Estate has been in the Cecil family for 400 years.
In 1611, Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, and the son of Lord Burghley, the chief minister of Elizabeth I built this fine Jacobean House adjoining the site of the Old Palace of Hatfield.
The deer park surrounding the house, and the older building of the Old Palace, had been owned Henry VIII who had used it as a home for his children, Edward, Elizabeth and Mary. It was while she was living in the Old Palace, in 1558, that Elizabeth learned of her accession to the throne.
The House was splendidly decorated for entertaining the Royal Court, with State Rooms rich in paintings, fine furniture and tapestries.
Superb examples of Jacobean craftsmanship, such as the Grand Staircase with its fine carving, and the rare stained glass window in the private chapel can be seen throughout the house .

The Marble Hall
With its wonderfully extravagant oak carving, by John Bucke, the Marble Hall remains much as Robert Cecil, the 1st Earl of Salisbury, built it in 1611.
Sometimes used as a dining room, it is the place where the Salisburys would have entertained their guests with lavish banquets, dances and masques.
The room takes its name from the chequered black and white marble floor.
The ceiling’s woodwork and plasterwork are original but colour was added by the 3rd Marquess in 1878, when Jacobean reliefs of the Caesars were replaced with panels featuring classical themes painted by the Italian artist, Giulio Taldini.
Robert Cecil’s coat of arms is carved at the centre of the Gallery with the family motto: Sero Sed Serio, meaning ‘late but in earnest’.
The paintings on the curved panels underneath the Gallery are also by Giulio Taldini.
The embroidered banners hanging from the Gallery were made just before the Battle of Waterloo. After the battle they were given to the 2nd Marquess by the Duke of Wellington, who was a great friend of the family and a frequent visitor to Hatfield House.
