Afternoon Tea Spennymoor
Be sure to book an Afternoon Tea in Spennymoor here. This town is situated in County Durham, England, standing above the Wear Valley, some seven miles south of Durham city.
Although a relatively new community compared to some places in the region, it still has much to offer. One noteworthy activity, of course, is indulging in dainty delicacies once you’ve chosen the perfect venue.
The Relatively New History of Spennymoor
Many of the UK’s towns and cities date back hundreds – if not thousands – of years. Not Spennymoor, which was little more than a vast expanse of thorn and gorse bushes until about a century and a half ago. Neither the Britons nor the Romans settled in the area.
It remained largely barren before mining became widespread during the Victorian era. Now, though, it is best known for an Afternoon Tea in Spennymoor.
What is Included with an Afternoon Tea in Spennymoor?
This traditional and ever-popular meal dates back to 1840 when Anna Maria Russell, Duchess of Bedford, created it to satisfy her afternoon appetite. It tends to consist of Loose Leaf Tea, typically a Black Tea such as English Breakfast or Earl Grey. Meanwhile, for food, you can expect finger sandwiches of various flavours and fillings, scones with cream and jam, and a generous helping of cake.
Other Considerations Before Booking a Table
Not that long ago, the likes of vegans and vegetarians had a challenging time finding suitable treats on a menu. The good news is that an Afternoon Tea in Spennymoor can cater to your needs, regardless of what you need from your favourite fineries.
Sweet or savoury, void of meat, dairy or gluten – there is something for everyone. Perhaps even more impressive, if you’re local, you could even organise for a delivery!
