An afternoon tea created by a Great British Bake Off finalist is launching for a limited time at the Lavenham Swan.
Andrew Smyth was a finalist on the 2016 series of Bake Off - the last one aired by the BBC and starring the baking legend Mary Berry.
The accomplished baker has baked cake for HRH Prince William and produced and judged a Netflix show, Baking Impossible.
Now he has teamed up with the head chef at the Lavenham Swan, Jon Ellis, and pastry chef Sarah Gilbert to create an exclusive menu for a six-week period.
"It really is a dream collaboration to work with the team to design an afternoon tea to treat yourself to this autumn," said Mr Smyth.
"Expect 15th-century surroundings and a nod to my time on The Great British Bake Off and Baking Impossible."

The finger sandwiches include smoked salmon and lemon cream cheese, egg mayonnaise, ham and mustard, and cucumber.
Homemade plain and sultana scones topped with clotted cream and jams will follow.
There’s also carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, baked cheesecake with orange and hazelnut and cherry and pistachio Battenberg.
The 'showstopper' will be a white chocolate mousse with pickled blackberries and a blackberry gel topped with roasted pistachios and a pistachio tuille, which will sit inside a white chocolate hemisphere ‘boat’ floating on blue sugar syrup.
The afternoon treat will be served Monday to Saturday from 12noon until 4pm, and between 2.30pm and 4pm on Sundays until November 26.
It is priced at £27.50 per person, but diners can opt for a glass of something bubbly at an additional cost.
