Sugar Dumplin

The weather may be lovely now but it’s a brave man who trusts the rain to stay away until autumn.

Add some Caribbean culinary sunshine to your summer with today’s Big Deal on afternoon tea and cocktails at Sugar Dumplin, the beach-shack BBQ bar in Princes Square.

Afternoon tea doesn’t have to be all Downton Abbey with starched linen and stiff pinkies.

Put some Calypso in your cake with this delicious offer on Caribbean-style afternoon tea.

Beach shack vibe

Designed to make you feel you are kicking back in a Caribbean beach bar, Sugar Dumplin creates a relaxed and sunny atmosphere, whatever the weather may be doing outside.

Available at two sittings, 1pm and 3pm, every day except Saturday, the offer is for two people to enjoy an afternoon tea and a cocktail.

Caribbean flavour

Afternoon tea Sugar Dumplin style is a touch more exotic than scones and tea-cakes. The menu includes a tempting array of colourful creations including such sweet treats as rum cake, lemon posset, passion fruit and white chocolate cheesecake and the intriguing-sounding black cake.

Not so fast. Remember what your Mum told you about eating your sandwiches first. That shouldn’t be a problem with enticing fillings that include smoked chicken and mango, citrus prawn and coriander and butternut squash with blue cheese.

Round off your afternoon with a cocktail from one of the following flavoured Bellinis each: raspberry, strawberry, mango, peach and passionfruit.

Hot drinks are not included in this offer.
