Nordic Delicacies at The Centre

To mark the beginning of Summer and the of end Winter, The Norsemen buried their sledges in bogs to store them for the next Winter. The English translation of this practice was “Sledge to the bog going” which eventually became tobogganing. To mark this tradition much ale was consumed along with Norstle cake, and Smorgasbords.

Unfortunately we cannot offer ale, but in the Garden Restaurant we will be offering a special menu from 12noon – 2pm on Wednesday 5th April:
