The next chapter of our afternoon tea

Emperor Burger strikes again in electric blue, mobiles at the ready for facebook capture and insta story narratives!(Remember to use the hashtag)

Joining the journey
One of our very first visitors has a very special story. Kathryn and David got married exactly a year ago on May 4th. They were now celebrating their first wedding anniversary. A special occasion that they decided to celebrate at Colwick Hall. Before very long they heard about our brand new afternoon tea launching on the same day. What’s more intriguing is that they are mega fans of Star Wars and could not believe that there would be an afternoon tea themed with planet destroyer cupcakes and so much more. In their own words it was a dream come true and posed in front of our Byron’s spaceship with their identity chains.

The focus this time has been on creating an adventure. We hear so often that an afternoon tea is more centred on cakes and for the sweet toothed. Here we have designed a balanced menu of savouries, a delicious soup and ham solo panini, and refreshingly light deserts, including the infamous BB’s white chocolate and orange pop cake. The menu which runs from May 4th to the end of July, has wide appeal to both genders, adults and children alike, and avid or less so fans of the legend it is.
At my latest briefing, Hannah and Amy have been mixing a Solo Sloe (Sloe gin with prosecco) in their endeavour of succeeding galactic governments. Cocktails from the dark side to the agent of evil feature on our drinks menus together with jin-i blooms, and of course, a selection of soft drinks and floats for non-alcoholic troopers.
Following a hugely successful launch this latest concept runs everyday until 31st July 2018 in our Byron’s Brasserie. It has hit regional headlines and was recently featured by Lynette Pinchess, Food and Drink Writer, in the Nottingham Post (read here). Customers have been excited about the whole experience and the team have become imbibed in painting robots to adding a touch of glitter to their prosecco creations. The force is really everywhere!
