It was exciting to discover the Strawberry Fayre Tea Room seemingly in the middle of nowhere in Northern Ireland. After our adventures for the morning, we returned to this tea room to enjoy a late lunch.
With plenty of parking in the back, we ventured inside.
Susanna ordered the soup of the day (carrot zucchini) served alongside an order of egg mayonnaise sandwiches. The egg mayonnaise sandwich consisted of cut up slices of egg, red onion, and mayonnaise on white bread - not quite egg salad, but essentially the same ingredients.
This yummy cheese and pickle toastie (filled with melted cheese and savory chutney) came with a medley of corn and veggie salad.
The large cherry scone was served with butter and jelly, optional whipped cream was an extra charge. And a large pot of tea.
When we asked about the 'tray bake' listed on the menu, the hostess brought out this array of desserts, and you were able to select the one that you preferred from cakes to cookies.
Our adventures on this day took us to the Giant's Causeway with a guided tour of the geologic and volcanic structures.
Wow! This looks like my kind of adventure, and that tearoom sounds fabulous (and so authentic). As a tearoom owner yourself, you must love getting ideas while on vacation. The egg and mayonnaise sandwich sounds intriguing, as does the cheese and pickle toastie, which has a charming name!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find and love seeing the sights.
ReplyDeleteThe tearoom with the windows looks wonderful.
And a "tray bake", what fun to get to choose.
Since Ireland ranks second in tea consumption per capita worldwide it's not surprising you'd find a tearoom in the middle of nowhere. It would take a strong cuppa to fortify you for the adventure of crossing that bridge! ;-)
