We look forward to Easter in just a couple of weeks time which brings to mind three things: chocolate eggs, hot cross buns and the four-day weekend…

Spring is very nearly upon us. A time for regeneration and new growth. Here in the kitchen the Blake's team have been busy cooking up ideas for the coming months. So without further ado... cake anyone? 

Now, perhaps more than ever, we see people focusing on the quality of the food they eat, the care and skill with which ingredients are treated and the value for money eating out represents. So in the kitchen this month we're cooking up hearty soups and unctuous toasties for a great value winter warmer offer; we're also rewarding fans of the Cinnamon Bun and we're getting romantic with some sweet treats for Valentine's Day. So grab yourself a cuppa and read on... 

The Blake’s Kitchen Autumn 2022 menu has arrived! Try brand new dishes featuring seasonal, local ingredients alongside some of your all time Blake’s favourites… Long-time fans will be pleased to hear the Kelmscott Pulled Pork Brioche is back. Fans in-the-making, you’re in for a treat!

In this month’s Kitchen Diary we look back on a busy summer with a recipe right at the end of the season and look forward to the cool mornings and cozy nights of Autumn with all the November goings on at Blake’s HQ.

As spring draws to a close and the weather threatens to get ever so slightly warmer, the unmistakable scent of wild garlic still hangs in the air of the shady woodlands around our Clanfield HQ…

All the latest news from Blake’s including April reopening plans, changes to online ordering, Blake’s Picnic Box and Whole Cakes to order…

So we've arrived at February, love is in the air and so are the delicious aromas of our signature Salt Beef Brioche with mustard mayo, pickled cucumber and crispy shallots…

We've added a festive twist to our eat in and takeaway menu, like our new XMAS TURKEY BRIOCHE (above).... delicious!
