Menu - 1st March - UKBC Champion John Gordon

We should have posted this menu last week, but I wanted to wait to see how the UK barista championships ended on Monday. Our own Estelle Bright did an amzing job and finished just outside the top 6 at number 8. She is the number 1 female barista in the UK overall, a fantastic achievment and something we are very proud of.
We are also very very happy to say that John Gordon, originally from Australia but now representing the UK, came out overall UK champion late on Monday. For an insight into how John works as a barista, check Kaffeine the movie on our website.
John, full respect not just to you but all baristas who entered, a job very very well done.
Look out, spring is coming, daffodils, sunshine and lovely lovely food. Can't wait......
