Bethan Kate\u2019s tearoom will offer afternoon tea and high tea within the Kings Arms. The first event, scheduled for Saturday, November 16 sold out in less than three days. <\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t expecting the reaction actually. It was really lovely and I\u2019ve had so much support from people, friends and old customers who\u2019ve always supported me, as well as people I\u2019ve never met and regular customers to the Kings Arms. It\u2019s a real mix of people.\u201d said Bethan.<\/p>\n\n\n
Tables for a second event, on November 30, are available to book now. <\/p>\n\n\n
Although the hi-tech kitchen will be a challenge, Bethan is excited to bring back customer favourites such as her Chocolate Brownies and Cherry Bakewell Cake, as well as working on some new recipes. <\/p>\n\n\nPhoto: Bethan Oakman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\u201cThere\u2019s going to be some test baking coming up so no doubt all the staff will be happy! It\u2019s really exciting, it\u2019s nice to have the people around because in the tearoom I was by myself.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n
Both businesses now hope to try things they were unable to before, for example by combining Bethan\u2019s baking with the Kings Arms\u2019 alcohol licence to offer High Tea and Gentlemen’s Afternoon Tea. <\/p>\n\n\nPhoto: Catriona Aitken<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nResidents are pleased to see two of their own coming together. The pub owner said: \u201cIt is important that businesses stick together and support each other, especially with the amount of pubs that are closing.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cI know there can be some competition with different business, but [collaboration] is nice because you both understand the community and your customers, you can bounce off each other, feed from each other and help each other.\u201d added Bethan. <\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cYou always know what you\u2019re getting with the big names, but these days people want that homely touch. It\u2019s like a home from home really, it\u2019 cosy and something that you don\u2019t get from big companies.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
