Northumberland hotel to host royalty-themed afternoon teas for jubilee

Running over four consecutive afternoons from June 2-5, the event is open to everyone with an array of freshly baked cakes, scones, and finger sandwiches to be enjoyed.

Doxford Hall’s Chris Main said: “We’re excited to be hosting this very special event.

"Our head chef has had great fun conjuring up a menu that will delight and will feature British classics that everyone can enjoy on the lawns.

"We’re hoping for a run of sunshine but are lucky enough to have plenty of inside space should the weather not play ball!”
