With Mother’s Day not far away, it’s the perfect time to enjoy a day out with your loved ones – and who doesn’t love an afternoon tea?
From the finger sandwiches and traditional scones to sweet cakes and pastries, afternoon tea has been a British tradition since the 1840s and is still offered by many hotels, restaurants, tea rooms and cafes across the UK – including right here in the North East.
Every venue has its own take on the tradition from the casual to the formal, with some offering boozy upgrades while others run different themes throughout the year from Valentine’s Day to Christmas. But where is your favourite place in the region to enjoy a spot of afternoon tea?
Whether you prefer to tuck into your treats at a cosy cafe or dine in style at a five-star hotel, there are dozens of venues across Tyneside, Northumberland, Sunderland and County Durham where afternoon tea is a favourite on the menu.
Perhaps you have a go-to for afternoon tea because of the atmosphere or friendly service, or maybe it’s their scrumptious scones or tasty cakes that have won you over. Whatever the reason, we want you to tell us your number one choice for afternoon tea in the North East.
Once all the votes have been cast, we will bring you the list of top destinations as voted for by you to help inspire your next afternoon tea date and make plans for Mother’s Day.
