At Blue Garden we bake as much ‘in house’ as possible. We use ingredients such as flour and sugar that comes from local British farms. Our eggs come from a free range flock situated ten miles up the road near Colchester. As you can see from the video, if we can find some in season fruits from our veg patch we will use those as well. So wether you are enjoying one of our special afternoon teas or just having a slice of cake or scone with a cuppa, you can rest assured about the local provenance of the food we serve.
