The Cafe business for the professional operator - keeping up to date with what's new and interesting - written by Paul Cottrell, Turpin Smale Catering Consultants
The oldest inn in England - Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem at the base of Nottingham Castle - established 1189AD with rooms burrowed out of the sandstone rock. @Yeoldetripnott
Premier Inn and their new Purple Sauce made from blackberries, cider vinegar with pepper and chillies. Clever, exclusive, limited time marketing of a product that boosts their breakfast appeal.
Cycloc holders are the way to display/store/exhibit cyclists' prized possessions. Here at Espresso Library in Cambridge who have walls of them. @Cycloc
Great Cafes are fans of Big Green Eggs - seen here at Midsummer House in Cambridge which has 25 of them! @BigGreenEggUK
Baked celeriac is brought to the table in a mini Big Green Egg, sliced and scooped out with hazelnut, hollandaise, celery and wood sorrel. A real treat and a superb meal. @Midsummerhouse
Owls outside Coffee Aroma in Lincoln. Crocodiles at the Eccentric Englishman tearoom at Johnsons of Old Hurst Farmshop in Huntingdon. How are you attracting attention?
The kitchen equipment is only a few months old as someone reversed their Mercedes into the kitchen, narrowly avoiding the chefs and resulting in a new kitchen fit out! Let them know if interested and no, we are not on commission. Sad that a great childrens cafe is closing - see it or buy it!
