Every third Saturday, the Grill at Morrison House Hotel is serving Story Time Teas for children and their parents. Each reading is accompanied by book-themed tea services — the Children's Tea includes a pot of hot chocolate and finger sandwiches; the Traditional Tea offers homemade scones, brioche and curried chicken bites, and smoked salmon with chive creme fraiche on marble rye.
