Newcastle hotel named after Earl Grey pays tribute with new breakfast lounge
A Newcastle hotel has created a new breakfast facility, serving the Northumberland-born tea from which it takes its name.
The four-star Grey Street Hotel is at Grey Street – named after Earl Grey whose monument towers over the city centre just a two-minute walk away.
And the famous tea, named after the Northumberland-born former Prime Minister, takes pride of place in the hotel’s new breakfast lounge.
The new lounge is sited on the lower ground floor and features a stylish self-service counter for guests to help themselves to cereals and pastries.
Continental and cooked breakfasts are also on offer with dishes including eggs royale, eggs Florentine, omelettes, waffles and full English breakfasts.
In a nod to the hotel’s heritage, a full range of freshly brewed coffees and teas is available.
Accommodation manager Ramona Florea said: “Although we would never dream of dictating our customer’s choices, we would obviously always recommend the Earl Grey.”
