FOOD Sharing Quarr Abbey's finest T his summer Quarr Abbey teashop is making the most of the organically grown produce, that is hand-picked every day, by creating it into their new mouth-watering sharing boards. With daily changing choices of meat platters, fish platters and ploughman’s for two the new sharer’s boards use the freshly picked salads and produce taken from the Abbey’s own allotments to create a delicious lunch for two. Each board has a selection of the Abbey’s tempting chutneys and preserved pears which are selected by the chef to complement the beautiful meat, fish and local cheeses that are used to create them. Perfect to share with a friend or loved one with a chilled glass of wine or refreshing glass of Quarr Abbey apple juice or cider; you can make the most of the sunshine and while away the hours in the tranquillity of the tea garden. The teashop also offers a wide range of sandwiches, soup, paninis and daily specials so there is something to suit everyone’s taste. For those with a sweet tooth there is a large selection of scrumptious cakes and cream teas available every day. Perfect to accompany a speciality coffee made using Quarr’s own special blend of roasted coffee beans. Open daily from 10.00am to 5.00pm, Sundays 11.15am to 5.00pm.
