National Cream Tea Day is a piece of cake for Bulwell care home
Staff and residents at Hall Park Care Home in Bulwell brewed up a storm for National Cream Tea Day by hosting an afternoon tea party in the garden, with a wonderful selection of baked treats and of course, lots of pots of tea.
Refusing to pick a side in the controversial debate of cream before jam for the Cornish tradition or jam before cream as part of the Devonshire tradition, Hall Park enjoyed homemade scones both ways, all washed down with choices of herbal and classic teas.
Residents and visitors tucked into the sweet and savoury goodies including pies, pastries, cookies and cream cakes, all baked by head chef Donna Wood.
Jodie Rakhra, general manager at the home said: “I don’t think there is a better way to celebrate the arrival of summer than with a cream tea.
"The residents have loved having family and friends here today to help us enjoy a fantastic spread.
"This is definitely one new tradition we’re going to be adopting.”
Nora Langley, a resident at Hall Park commented: “We’ve all had so much fun and the cream tea was absolutely delicious.
"I absolutely love a cream tea so I’m all in favour of a national day to celebrate it.”
Hall Park care home is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering high-quality care across its care homes and hospitals.
Hall Park provides dementia care, residential care, respite care.
