Wensleydale Creamery has added a seasonal twist to its viral Cheesy Afternoon Tea with the launch of a Festive Cheesy Afternoon Tea. Officially available from Monday 17th November until Sunday 4th January, the menu celebrates some of the Creamery’s most popular cheese varieties in both sweet and savoury dishes.
Savoury highlights include Deep Fried Yorkshire Wensleydale & Cranberries Panko Cheese Balls, Yorkshire Dales Beef Bourguignon with Wensleydale Blue Cheese Crumble, and Yorkshire Wensleydale & Cranberries with Pork Sausage Pigs in Blankets. Sweet options include sticky Ginger Parkin served with Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese and a Mince Pie served with the local cheese.
The festive menu is served with Raydale Preserves Tomato and Chilli Chutney, Pan-Fired New Potatoes, Caramelised Onion & Nduja, and rounded off with Yorkshire Tea or coffee for £22 per person. Visitors can also add a glass of fizz or warm mulled wine.
Previously a sharing experience for two, the Cheesy Afternoon Tea can now be enjoyed by solo diners. “However you choose to celebrate, there’s a plate of cheesy joy waiting for you this festive season,” the Creamery said.
The Creamery has also introduced Gromit’s Afternoon Tea for children at £12 per person. This includes a cheesy crumpet, creamy Wensleydale mac ‘n’ cheese, chunky chips, cucumber sticks, cherry tomatoes, and honeycomb rocky road, served with milk or fruit squash in a Gromit mug.
Full details of the festive menu, including revised opening hours on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, are available on the Wensleydale Creamery website. The menu excludes Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day.
