Good afternoon everyone,
What a lovely time of year, sunshine, cherry blossom, the hawthorn in flower and the hedgerows bursting with green growth and new life. After a very nice break we're feeling refreshed and raring to open the doors again this coming weekend.
Our latest addition to the pastry counter is a cream bun with rhubarb compote. Readers of a similar vintage to Hugo may remember the days when the Milk Marketing Board commissioned TV ads for cream cakes with the catchphrase naughty but nice as a way of promoting the British dairy industry. Very different times, but an apt descriptor of an old-school torpedo shaped bun, split and filled with Styan rhubarb compote and creme diplomat (that's whipped cream and custard). Ooh-aah.
Now, news of an event this comng Saturday. Our good friends and Covered Market neighbours, Matt and Rachael, are celebrating one year of their peerless menswear store, Goodies. We collaborated with them for their launch party this time last year so we were delighted to be part of their first birthday party. The Hamblin premises will become a bar for the evening, with beers, cocktails and some deep cuts from the wine cellar. We're also planning to debut our take on one of the all time classic fast food items - just waiting for final confirmation - so keep an eye on instagram for more details. Never one to miss a party, chef Zoltan Gothard will be returning to provide a suitably celebratory tiramisu. There is no need to book, just come down to Avenue Two of the Market on Saturday evening from 6pm for what promises to be a very fun night.
That's all for now, thank you for reading and we look forward to seeing many of you this weekend,
Kate and Hugo
