SIMPLE, MADE EXCEPTIONAL
We love to turn everyday favourites into spectacular delicacies and our recipes have been tweaked and trialled over time until they’re absolutely perfect. We have a few signature creations and they’re all simple classics, done exceptionally well.
Croissants & Pastries
Good things take time and our decadent pastry range takes three days to make from start to finish. Made with premium tempered butter to ensure maximum flavour, rise and crispness, and folded to perfection, every small batch is baked fresh each morning.
Mille Feuille
The Elspeth Custard Square went through months of testing before making it onto the menu. The lightest, flakiest pastry is filled with our secret velvety custard recipe and classic, clean, vanilla-scented flavours shine through.
Elspeth Scone
A light and crumbly texture with a deep, rich flavour makes this one of our most popular items. Served fresh with homemade jam and a thick vanilla mascarpone cream, in a traditional Devonshire tea style.
Sausage Roll
Seemingly straightforward, our sausage roll is actually deceptively intricate. We use the finest quality free-range pork, add a touch of sweetness with fresh apple, season with our secret blend of spices and wrap in rich, flaky, made-from-scratch puff pastry. It’s as intensely satisfying to make as it is to eat.

Good, honest bread
Made with the simplest of ingredients, bread is one of the most ancient and humble foods, but the process of making it is quite complex.
Perfectly balancing the resting temperature, flour attributes, moisture content, tension, handling and baking makes breadmaking a special kind of alchemy and we rise to the challenge at 4am, six days a week.
All of our loaves are naturally made using premium quality unbleached flour and a slow fermentation process, without any additives or improvers. The result is an easy to digest, delicious, fragrant bread with a good crust, great structure and a rich, deeply developed flavour.
