A top North East attraction is stepping into Christmas with a selection of seasonal sandwiches and scones.
Starting this week (November 30), the Brasserie at National Glass Centre, Sunderland, will be serving a Festive Afternoon Tea every afternoon from 2.30pm.
This includes a selection of finger sandwiches, such as roast turkey with cranberry, smoked salmon with cream cheese and cucumber, Wensleydale with cranberry and egg mayonnaise and rocket.
In addition, guests will receive a slice of seasonal quiche, as well as a special mixed spice and cherry scone with a side of brandy cream.
For those with a sweet tooth the Festive Afternoon Tea also offers millionaire shortbread, traditional macaroons and a piece of iced Christmas cake.
Steve Welch, Executive Head Chef at 1879 Events Management, which manages catering and events at National Glass Centre, said: “Afternoon Tea is one of the Brasserie’s most popular offerings and this year we’re going all out to make it as festive as possible during December.”
