The popular Teapot Trail has returned to North Lincolnshire and our unitary council is encouraging people to visit as many tearooms as possible on the trail. As part of the trail the tearooms will battle it out to be crowned the winner of the Great North Lincolnshire Cake Off 2015 - cast your vote and you could be in with a chance of winning afternoon tea for two!
Here are this year’s 12 tearooms that are ready and waiting to take your order:
Clayton’s Corner, Main Street, Howsham
Coffee at 43, The Broadway, Ashby
Gingerbread Café and Tea Room, High Street, Barton-upon-Humber

They will all be serving the best homemade produce including light lunches, gluten free specials and most importantly their delicious homemade cakes.
The 2015 Teapot Trail will see you eating cake all the way from Alkborough to Kirton-in-Lindsey, and everywhere else in between.
Indulge in yummy cakes, fragrant teas and aromatic coffees on the Teapot Trail. Don’t forget to pick your favourite cake along the way.
Each of the tearooms will be offering a special Teapot Trail cake for you to try. Don’t worry though if you want to try something else, you can vote for any of the cakes to be entered into the competition.
Once you have visited as many tearooms as you can, cast your vote on your favourite cake to win. Everyone that votes will be entered into a free prize draw to win afternoon tea for two at the winning tearoom.
If eating all of this cake gives you inspiration to do some baking at home there are some scrumptious easy to follow recipes included in the leaflet, including a gluten free chocolate and pear cake!
Last year’s Teapot Trail was a great success with lots of people trying out the tearooms. The Great North Lincolnshire Cake-Off winner 2014 was The Ropery Coffee Shop in Barton; their delicious carrot cake was chosen as the public’s favourite.
Margaret Price, Senior Tourism and Event Management Officer at North Lincolnshire Council, said: “Last year’s Teapot Trail was really successful with lots of people taking part and voting for their favourite cake. We have some wonderful tearooms in North Lincolnshire and the trail is a great way of highlighting these.
“The Teapot Trail is great fun, and it is the perfect opportunity to spend time with your family and friends whilst you try a delicious selection of cakes, snacks, teas and coffees, plus much more!
“We are positive this year’s Teapot Trail is going to be bigger and better. So sit down, relax and enjoy a cup of tea and cake."
Pick up a leaflet from one of our Tourist Information Centres or any of the participating tearooms. You can also find the leaflet in selected attractions or why not download your copy from the new Visit North Lincolnshire website: www.visitnorthlincolnshire.co.uk
