Afternoon Tea at the Market Hall

Message from Sarah Hart, Shrewsbury Market PR.

Remember, Shrewsbury Food Festival this Saturday and Sunday.

AFTERNOON TEA AT THE MARKET HALL

You can reserve your Afternoon Tea in advance on 01743 360223 to avoid disappointment.

 

The Market Buffet, in Shrewsbury Market Hall, is laying on an impressive spread of dainty finger sandwiches, velvety chocolate mousse cream scones, mini chocolates eclairs and its famous strawberry shortcake.

 

The market is the official ‘Fringe’ of the food festival with a host of attractions lined up including chef cooking demonstrations from 11am to 5pm, taster trails from 10am, and kids’ maize mask-making and seed-planting  workshops with the Shropshire Visual Art Network and Incredible Edible 12-2pm.

 

There will also be a Mulch-a-do-about-Art exhibition at the Visual Art Network Gallery, housed within the building, and early festival goers can get a head start with a festival breakfast at the Birds Nest Café, Café AleOli and The Market Buffet.

 

The Market Buffet’s traditional full afternoon tea will be available from 2.30pm to 5pm on Saturday June 28 only, at the special price of £7.50 per person. Its traditional spread was a huge hit last year, selling out within a couple of hours.

 

The popular café, located on the upper gallery of the market hall, is planning to replicate some of the atmosphere of a vintage Lyons teashop.

 

The café is popular with diners looking for traditional English cooking, including home-baked cakes, savoury and sweet pies, quiches, puddings and scones. It employs seven members of staff and has been successful at attaining a top food hygiene rating of five stars.
