The Glaven Bistro in Glandford start offering afternoon teas

Married couple Carron and James Noon opened The Glaven Bistro in Glandford, near Holt, in December after moving to Norfolk from north Wales.

After a "fantastic" first few months, the pair is already expanding the menu to include afternoon tea, which will launch on Sunday.

"A lot of people have been coming in and asking if we did afternoon tea," Mrs Noon said.

"I've been the head bakery chef and our head chef James has been doing the savouries, so we thought it would be a good time to team up and do something together."

Alongside a pot of blended loose-leaf tea, guests can enjoy a selection of gourmet sandwiches, a fresh fruit scone and a range of homemade cakes and bakes.

The tea menu will include the same fresh, locally sourced ingredients as the bistro's main menu, such as Cromer crab, smoked fish from Staithe Smokehouse, meats from the H.V Graves Butchers and fruits and vegetables from Fresh Approach.

Mrs Noon added her personal favourite from the afternoon tea menu is the fruit scone which is made from her own recipe.

"The scones have been really popular since we opened - people have gone mad for them," she said.

"We have even had people coming in in the mornings and waiting for the scones to come out of the oven.

"We've just had such a lovely welcome to Norfolk - so many people have said they love what we've done with the place and a lot of them have said they hadn't realised how much produce actually comes from Norfolk before seeing our menu."
