Winter warming soups, made from produce grown in the Gardens, are replace during the warmer months, with our scrumptious ‘Cream Tea in a Box’ to go off wandering around the Gardens for a picnic.
Cream Tea in a Box
Large, locally-made sultana scone, from our friends at the famous SilverTree Bakery, Cornish clotted cream, jam and endless tea/coffee all served in a handy compostable carry box.
£7 to takeaway. Usually available to order, daily, from the cafe from April 6th, 2024.
Nb. Scones are made locally, by proper artisan bakers, not in factories – apologies for any disappointment if they are sometimes out of stock.
As stewards of 40 acres of ancient greenspaces in the middle of the city we work hard at being part of a circular economy . The Cream Tea box and cutlery are all plant based and the cups are returnable. After you’ve enjoyed your picnic, please return to the Courtyard and use the appropriate bins. Many thanks for helping us keep the planet pleasant.
