Afternoon tea; a shining example

Heritage Collection has added a touch of class and luxury to afternoon teas at the prestigious Close House Hotel and Golf in Newcastle.

The Birmingham-based family business renowned for designing and manufacturing exquisite china and silverware, worked with the hotel’s interior designer Trevor Erskine-Meade to create a bespoke range of tableware including silver cake stands, teapots and sugar bowls.

The range complements the elegant surroundings of the venue and highlights the equestrian interests of its proprietor and racehorse owner Graham Wylie. Peter Llewellyn, managing director of Close House Hotel and Golf said: “The outstanding quality and unique design perfectly met our requirements.  The equestrian theme makes for an interesting talking point.”
