Troll snot ice cream to hobgoblin fingers are just some of the items that will be on the menu at the North East's newest family attraction.
Lilidorei at the Alnwick Garden opened in late May after 12 years in the works, and its on-site café will have some pretty unusual flavours on the menu. Local businesses have been drafted in to make sweet treats; including ice-cream maker Ciccarelli of Blyth, the Canny Candy Gadgies and the Treehouse restaurant.
Artisan gingerbread, hot chocolate, and fairy dust fudge have all been created especially for Lilidorei by the Canny Candy Gadgies, as well as jars of small lollies said to have been created by the clans. David Richardson, Canny Candy Gadgies founder, said: "I’m absolutely thrilled that we were invited to be involved in a project such as this.

"We have created exclusive brand new recipes especially and ones that you won’t be able to find anywhere else. It’s lovely that The Duchess has kept it local and supporting small businesses."
Three branded ice cream bikes also circle the village of Lilidorei offering exclusive flavours including troll snot ice cream (sour apple and a gummy ripple) and Fairy Dust ice cream (raspberry ripple with hidden popping candy). The Groggery will also supply hot food and beverages and is designed like a Christmas market stall, with troll fingers (sausages) cooked on a swing grill BBQ.
There will be more quirky confectionary in the 'snots and lollies' section of the gift shop, including dwarf diamonds, baby reindeer poop, elf rights, blue tongue turners and squiffle whips. Fresh 'magical' muffins will be baked daily on site and sold in the cupcake-shaped café too.
The Duchess said: "We are delighted to be working with some of the best suppliers in the region and are excited about what they have created exclusively for us. The menu has been inspired by what we believe the Lilidoreians like to eat but adapted to suit their human guests."
The village is set around Elfwin Drin castle, the world's largest play structure, which is made up of 170 metres of rope bridges and slides.
