An Eccles cake in Druid Street


Now back in London after Christmas and the New Year in the Loire. Made a quick trip up to Maltby/Druid Street to do the shopping, which included buying some Seville oranges from Tony Booth. We were also tempted by the Eccles cakes@St John Bakery. Will be trying them with some cheese from Neal's Yard very soon. 

I gather that the opening of the new St John Hotel, in the building that used to be Manzi's near Leicester Square has been delayed until March.  

PS: The rich and spicy Eccles cake was excellent with some Cheshire and was also pretty good with some Stichleton.

  1. Ever tried Druid’s cake in Eccles Rd, SW11?
    There’s a subtle hint of mistletoe, if I may suggest.

  2. Of course not Luc! Surely you know that Druids are a protected species!

    Now a Coumish pastie in la-Rivière is a different matter entirely...
