Beautiful Neverland Tea Salon Neverland treats Maz at Neverland Tea Salon Neverland Tea_chocolate coconut If you know me well, you’ll know that I am a huge lover of tea. Consuming approximately four cups a day is no challenge for me, more a habit. My family are Irish so of course I was always going to be a big tea drinker but I would say it’s only been in the last couple of months that I have weaned myself off simply drinking English or Irish breakfast tea and have tried sampling some of those other lovely herbal remedies. Last week with my friend Maz visiting, I wanted to find someone lovely to go and have a good catch up and I stumbled across the most perfect place on West Broadway called Neverland Tea Salon. Started up by long-term friends Terri Tatchell and Renee Iaci, Neverland is a beautiful tea shop, inspired by the legendary novel Peter Pan. Decadent, quaint and magical, quotes from Peter Pan are decorated across the walls, fine china is used and 20th century chairs are decked around in different places around the tearoom. The bar on the right with pastries on show is the first thing that catches your eye as you walk through the doors as well as the gorgeous little honey pots placed on each table. Maz and I actually made two trips to Neverland in the time she was here and both were so lovely. We actually booked it the first time because we wanted to go for dessert but thought it would be sensible to order something savoury first. I opted for the Kale Chicken Caesar salad with the Shelley tea infused cocktail consisting of peaches and dreams white tea, vanilla vodka and lillet. Maz opted for the apple cheddar sandwich with aged cheddar, sliced granny smith apples, lettuce and house made apply chutney served with lightly toasted multigrain bread and the Aynsley, a tea cocktail made using wild strawberry green tea, blueberry vodka and Chambord.

Good Food Bakes & Cake Show

To celebrate the first ever BBC Good Food Bakes & Cakes Show sponsored by Lexus, the organisers are launching a Show Competition, giving visitors the chance to meet the Queen of Baking Mary Berry at a delicious Afternoon Tea.

The BBC Good Food Bakes & Cakes Show Competition gives home bakers the chance to reveal their hidden talents and show what they can do. The competition will consist of two categories: The first is Bakes, which calls for pies, pastries, breads, biscuits, or anything else baked that isn’t cake. The second is Cakes, which calls for any kind of cake decorated in the spooky Halloween theme.

Each category is open to both adults and juniors (aged under-16), with the four winners being chosen by expert baker judges John Whaite and Eric Lanlard and announced live at the event on Saturday 25 October.

Not only will the winners of each category (one adult, one junior winner) enjoy a delicious Afternoon Tea for themselves and a guest, they will also win a Kenwood kMix Stand Mixer, and meet Mary to have a copy of her latest book personalised.

For a chance to win, applicants must fill in the entry form on the show website, http://www.bbcgoodfoodbakesandcakesshow.com by Friday 26 September. They will need to describe what the entry will look like, the techniques involved and (for the Bakes category) the flavours or ingredients used. It’s recommended that entrants also include a sketch or photo to support their entry. All shortlisted entrants will be notified by Friday 3 October, and will be invited to attend the show and bring their Bake or Cake for judging on Saturday 25 October.

The brand new BBC Good Food Bakes & Cakes Show will be packed with baking, bread making and cake crafting demonstrations, free master classes, and hundreds of products to get visitors baking like a pro. Every ticket includes a seat in the Bakes & Cakes Theatre, where visitors can see Mary Berry, Mich Turner, John Whaite, Paul Hollywood, Eric Lanlard, Lisa Faulkner and other expert bakers sharing the tips of their trade and baking live.
