Afternoon tea winner announced, courtesy of Birchwood chef Anne Jones
We wanted to do something to brighten up someone’s day so as people can’t get out much, we ran a prize draw at the end of November offering afternoon tea to two people in our local community.
Our fabulous chef Anne Jones is creating a delicious spread and we’re pleased to announce we are going to be delivering it to the winner, Natalie Tripp. Congratulations Natalie from everyone at Birchwood.
