Great Scott! The Delorean has arrived at SOUND CAFE at The Cumberland Hotel - come and see it before its departure in June 2025!

This themed Back to the Future afternoon tea is a must for fans of the iconic 80s film.

The afternoon tea experience, inspired by the hit movie, includes a variety of creatively-named sweet and savoury bites, including McFly’s slider burger, Mayor Goldie Wilson’s hot dog and Doc’s brownies.

Feeling lucky? Say the catchphrase “Great Scott!” to the waiter when ordering the afternoon tea and be presented with two futuristic eight-sided dice.
