Afternoon tea is one of Grantley Hall's most popular food services. Tens of thousands of cakes, scones and artistically crafted sweet treats are served at the hotel each year.

In the kitchen, Executive Pastry Chef Stefan and his sous chef Shannon craft the magical delights. One special ingredient is on their latest menu - locally-sourced Yorkshire forced rhubarb.

To source the finest local rhubarb, Stefan and Shannon go to meet Robert Tomlinson, affectionately known as ‘Rhubarb Robert'. He's a fourth generation rhubarb farmer whose family have been growing rhubarb at Pudsey, in West Yorkshire's famed ‘Rhubarb Triangle', for over 140 years.

The hotel is also preparing for one of their busiest periods of the year: Christmas. Interior and Ambience Manager Marek and his assistant Shelley are tasked with masterminding the festive decorations, including a 30-foot Christmas tree in front of the hotel reception.

But installing the tree proves no easy task, as a technical hitch leaves Marek and the maintenance team with a major headache.

And a familiar face calls into the hotel - TV presenter Helen Skelton - who is treating her parents to a stay to celebrate her dad's 70th birthday.
