North East suppliers showcased in new menu

Food producers from across the North East are being celebrated at one of the region’s most renowned venues.

This winter, the National Glass Centre Brasserie, Sunderland, run by 1879 Events Management, will be serving a wide range of warming dishes, all made using ingredients sourced from within 50 miles.

Among the many highlights will be an extended array of breakfast options and light bites, such as Beef Hash and the Traditional All Day Breakfast, incorporating free range eggs from Newcastle’s Lintz Hall farm and signature sausages from South Tyneside-based, family-run business, Dickson’s pork butchers.

There will also be a variety of hot and cold sandwiches and salads, including the Old Fashioned Welsh Rarebit and Gourmet Beef Burger, using a selection of Northumberland cheese.

All of the venue’s seafood, showcased in dishes such as Traditional Fish and Chips, Prawn and Crab Salad and mussels, will be sourced from suppliers on the North Shields coast, while the cakes and scones, sold individually or as part of afternoon tea, will be made entirely in-house.

The National Glass Centre Brasserie’s signature winter dish will be the Beef and Prince Rupert Drop Ale Pie, featuring a suet crust, stuffed with beef soaked in ale that has been produced for the National Glass Centre by the University of Sunderland’s Brewlab.

The beef for this dish, as with all of the Brasserie’s beef-based dishes, including the Gourmet Beef Burger and Glassworkers Molton Beef Sandwich, is Red Tractor approved to ensure it has been produced to high standards in the UK.

Steve Welch, Business Development and Executive Head Chef for 1879 Events Management, which also manages catering at the Stadium of Light and The Beach House, Roker, said: “The North East has such an amazing array of suppliers for everything from meat and seafood to eggs and cheese and I’m delighted that we have the opportunity to give all our diners a taste of this in the new National Glass Centre Brasserie winter menu.”

The new winter menu is available daily from 10am until 5pm, with breakfast being served at the brasserie from 10am until 11.30am and afternoon tea available from 2.30pm until 4.30pm.
