It’s Afternoon Tea Week and we’d love nothing more than spending a lazy afternoon in the lushest of spots in town! Triangle sandwiches, scones, and fancy treats, let's face it, Afternoon Tea is the best meal of any day! Here's our rundown of where to check out this Afternoon Tea week.
TYNESIDE CINEMA
What beats afternoon tea? Afternoon Tea at the Movies. There’s no place quite like Tyneside Cinema for a bit of quirky film fun - and it’s only getting better, with the option to enjoy an indulgent high tea while checking in with your fave films. Diners can tuck into sweet treats while catching a flick. Join in on the first Sunday of each month.

BONBAR
We can’t think of a better way to spend a sunny summers afternoon than sipping speciality teas and indulgent homemade treats. Cue Bonbar, serving a terrific Traditional Afternoon Tea. Expect sandwiches, scones and sweet treats including macaroons and cake pops. For the sophisticated man-about-town, or for those with less of a sweet tooth, book in for the Gentleman’s Afternoon Tea where deliciously dainty dishes include rare roast beef, fish finger sandwiches, sausage rolls and scotch eggs.
