Autumn / Winter at the Patisserie

Summer seems to have long gone and as the days are becoming shorter it’s time for us to change a bit our menu as every year.

We are seeing the return of the weekend specials (that will be announced every Thursday) beginning from 14th October. There are more options in our well known toasties and also over the weekend you can indulge in our pancakes for breakfast!

Further to a lot of queries, our deals will go on (the winter warmer of soup, bread, cheese & butter with a hot drink and the summer special) with a different name – they are so popular we need to keep on delivering them!

Halloween is also coming and we have a great competition coming up too. November we will host as usual our Spirit of Christmas Fair… so stay tuned!

A big thank you to everyone again for allowing us to do what we love the most!
