Honestly, I don't have too much to say this time....we had a very very busy week last week and I think I am still recovering. It is a credit to our wonderful staff who have not only set a standard that we are all very proud of, but also strive very hard to maintain those standards even when we are packed.
One of the things hospitality people often speak about is the 'rush of service', I have worked in catering for over 20 years and last week and the week before we had the 'rush', every day, all day. At 41 years old, that is bit hard to keep up with. But what a feeling!
A good thing we have great coffee and food to keep us going.

Menu - Week beginning October 11th - 3 Group Synesso
We have are currently awaiting delivery of a new baby. A brand new shiny 3 group Synesso Cyncra espresso machine is on its way to London from Seattle to replace the two group one we have had for the past year. The support of all our regular customers has increased, and for that we are forever grateful, however, it also means we are very very busy.
Our current 2 group machine is just about not coping with the demand, and of course we are not getting the coffees out to you as fast as we (or probably you), wish, which is just not good enough.
We now have three baristas working pretty much every hour of the day, and with a new machine we will be able to release the pressure on the smaller machine, and also expediate the coffees faster to you, while still focussing on quality.
One more week to go and we will be very excited indeed. We hope you will be too.
Our old 2 group (Nessie), has been sold on, apparently to another London cafe. We will be visiting to say hello to her. She will be very sadly missed.

Menu - Week beginning September 20th
Moroccan carrot baguettes are back on the menu this week. Cinnamon, coriander and cumin blended with peeled, boiled and grated carrots and then mixed together to create a lovely Moroccan spice filling that we put with an olive tapenade and haloumi cheese. Exotic? We like to think so.
Redcurrants, black peppercons, vinegar and sugar cooked down to a jam creates the base for the other baguette we have on this week. Many people ask us 'what is that flavour in the baguette?' when we put it on. A simple spread of this jam really brings out and adds to the flavour of the Italian ham and the brie cheese.

Menu Week Beginning September 13th
Damson plums come into season only for four weeks every year. Small, almost grape like in size and dark, dark purple in colour they have a tartness on the tongue when eaten fresh, but when they are cooked into a tart, slice or muffin, the sweetness comes out and they show their true form. This week we are simply baking them into our sweet muffins. Nice.

Menu - September 6th - Specialty Food Fair
The Specialty Food and Chocolate Food Fair is being held as we speak. Sunday 5th, Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th out at Olympia with over 550 individual exhibitors. We went out yesterday and had a good look around and it was amazing and inspirational.
Not just seeing our own suppliers such as Tea Pigs and Villanova, but also seeing the range of food and beverage avalable from many small independent suppliers. People who are all passionate about their business, who believe that their products is or will be one of the best and that there is a market for it.
As one of those small independents (though not exhibitng) I have a lot of respect for those who put in all the hours, reasearch, commitment, lack of sleep, money, passion, enthusiasm and belief. Plus, it is amazing to see how many options there are out there!! It is astounding where the food industry has come over the past 20 years in the UK, and it can only get better. I saw a quote out there "it is better to have eaten, than to eat". My sentiments exactly.
