Cru Eastbourne
✩ Cru Eastbourne have recently added an afternoon tea option to the
menu, not just any afternoon tea though, afternoon tea with a twist
and most importantly with prosecco - BOTTOMLESS PROSECCO ✩
If you still haven’t been to Cru,
you really should. Even more so
now that they have the cutest
afternoon tea available.
We took a trip down to Cru this
past weekend after hearing that
they were introducing afternoon
tea to the menu. We are
huge afternoon tea fans here at
Eastbourne Lifestyle HQ, so we
couldn’t wait. Also did we mention
that they offer a bottomless
prosecco option! Yup! You read
that right! This might just be the
best news we have ever heard!
✩ Bottomless prosecco ✩
Before we get to the food, we have
to mention the croquery - the
cups and saucers were so cute as
were the plates and most importantly
the bird cage cake stand.
We may have gone home, scoured
the web and bought ourselves said
cake stand.
What we loved about this afternoon
tea option is that it is
different. It’s not your bog standard
cucumber sandwiches and it is
exactly what Eastbourne needed.
The afternoon tea at Cru is seasonal,
so this one is the Spring
offering. All products that they use
are fresh and made on the day.
We don’t know about you, but we
have an afternoon tea eating order.
We start with the sandwich plate,
then onto the scones and we save
the cakes until last.
The sandwich selection included
three tapas style options - first up
we had the olive tapenade and
chilli crostini, which is now
our favourite thing ever - if you
haven’t tried this before, you really
must. It’s so goooooood.
Then we had sun blushed tomato
and cream cheese blini - we’ve
never been a fan of a blini - the
ones we’ve previously tried have
been kind of soggy. Not these
though. They were really tasty.
And lastly was the serano and
goats cheese crostini. That combination
was insane and we’ve already
tried to recreate it at home.
Now to the scones - in this
afternoon tea option you get two
scones each - foodies rejoice. One
parmesan and one plain.
We have to say that the parmesan
scone was a life changer.
