Foodie hot spot Maddison’s in Consett has opened its own secret garden to catch the last of the late summer rays. The little suntrap, which opened as owners Heather Price and Paul Purvis celebrated 10 years in business, is the perfect place to enjoy one of Paul’s fab flatbreads or afternoon teas complete with one of his amazing scones – in any of the 500-plus varieties he has up his sleeve.
