Blake's Kitchen

"We go to Blake’s Kitchen for the Guinness cake, and to romanticise our mornings with creamy lattes and the kind of pretty dried flower arrangements usually reserved for high-end clothing stores. This Clanfield spot is always busy, with people popping to the post office located within the cafe, and leaning on bags of Shipton Mill flour as they shout their orders in the direction of the till. If you can’t grab a seat inside, there’s a tipi-style tent strung with fairy lights out front where lycra-clad cyclists throw back tasty, generously iced cinnamon buns. You can’t go wrong with this brunch menu, but if the crispy chicken eggs benedict is on, it’s going to be a great day. " - sinead cranna
