Congrats to our young super-star chef Dan Farley whose ‘Quince Whirls’ have been shortlisted to appear in the finals of the National Cake Awards held at the Food Show at the NEC in late April. Having perfected his whirl bakes Dan has added a bit of local zest in the fillings by using Quince jam in the fillings.

We are pleased to welcome back the incredible Salvation Army brass band to the Blue Garden Café, this Saturday 16th December, raising money for those in need at Christmas.

In anticipation of the upcoming Autumn/Christmas season, we are excited to introduce our new menus inspired by the success of our fresh fish offerings. Skate, sourced daily from Point Clear Bay and Brightlingsea creek by our reliable fish supplier Tony Talbot, has become a permanent fixture on our menu. Embracing our commitment to fresh and local ingredients, the quince tree in our cafe orchard yielded fruits for delightful quince jelly, a special Christmas treat. As we prepare for December, we are now accepting bookings for our Christmas meals which are available from 25th November to Christmas Eve. We look forward to welcoming you soon!
