Tea for a Tipple at Stoke Newington's New High Street Pub
Stoke Newington
is getting an early Christmas present this year, in the shape of an innovative,
new pub, The Stoke Newington Tea house, which opened its doors on Friday 11th
December.
Known for doing
things a little differently, owners Yummy Pub Co. are presenting the latest
addition to their teeny, tiny, beautiful boutique pub company, bursting onto
the high street with a reinvented version of the Great British Pub, complete
with a tea twist. And in the run up to Christmas the team will be giving away 1,000
cups of tea in random acts of kindness, surprising strangers, family and
friends with a welcome brew.
“Where there is
tea, there is hope,” the famous words from London playwright Arthur Pinero ring
true at the pub, where there will be a plethora of delicious brews from around
the globe, as well as a specialist cocktail list of tasty tea tipples.
A significant
non-feature is the bar – there isn't one. There's still a plentiful amount of
drink options on offer, guests can select their drink of choice from six hand
pulls with regularly rotating craft ales, as well as lagers, bitters and
stouts.
As they step
into the cosy space, guests will be greeted by a vaulted bookcase displaying
over 100 styles of brews. From early morning through to evening, sample loose
leaf, light, dark or green, subtle and strong, classic and fruity infusions.
There will also be six special mixtures presented each day for those who want
to experiment with new flavours.
Escape the cold
and snuggle up in one of the pub's many booths, whilst dipping into different
blends served in clay and metal pots or grab a blanket and venture into the
heated pub garden.
The friendly
Yummy team are on hand to help and each member has been fully trained in the
perfect pour; whether tea, beer, wine or cocktails. For dedicated coffee
drinkers, Stoke Newington Tea House will also have specialist coffee available
from the Gentlemen Baristas.
With an
emphasis on locally sourced products, accompanying the drinks menu will be a
feast of all-day brunch options with freshly baked bread from local Stoke
Newington bakery, delectable small plate British Tapas (a Yummy specialty),
classic British pub food and mouth-watering Sunday Roasts.
Those with a
sweet tooth can also delight in baked cakes, such as the classic red velvet,
coffee and walnut, as well as tea infused desserts.
Tim Foster,
Owner of Yummy Pub Co., said: “This pub has been years in the making and it's
taken blood, sweat, tears and a lot of tea tasting to make it happen. We like
to put our own spin on things and we're celebrating the classic British brew by
presenting it in a whole new way, as a part of the Great British Pub.
“We're really
excited to be part of a new community and venture into a new area of London.
Our people are what make ours pubs great, that includes our customers - we
can't wait to meet our new regulars. And, we've added another 24 team members
to the Yummy family!
Yummy have also
recognised the great talents of tea specialist, Lucy Chappell, who is the owner
of soon-to-launch 'The London School of Tea', which will have its home above
the pub.
Lucy spent a
year in Darjeeling, India studying tea management and botany. She is also a
consultant for a top tea company and spends her time training, teaching and
advising about modern tea culture and new trends. If you are already in the tea
trade or just a die-hard tea fanatic then you can enjoy one of the 4 specialist
tea classes for professionals or something lighter for the home enthusiast.
