Tasty tea time treats

Above expectations
Originally specialising in patisserie, Drucker’s has expanded its compact menu to be include the more lunch friendly savouries: sandwiches, paninis, wraps, etc.
This is not the only change – the refurb which took place a couple of years ago has turned the once simple, white room with character into a soulless, try hard ‘contemporary’ one with garish splashes of colour.
This however, distracts from what the cafe is about – tea time treats: fruit tarts and vanilla slices filled with delicious creme patisserie and slices of gateaux, varying in price from about £2 - £3. Since moving away from the area, I miss these cakes (still haven’t been weaned off the childhood custom of having some every family birthday) – in particular the ‘Sevilla’ (the orangey one) and the ‘St Honore’, a bizarre but yummy nonetheless combination of a strawberry mousse based cake topped with chocolate profiteroles.
Eat in with the crowd mostly made up of old dears and families, although many tend to favour the take out option. You can also order whole gateaux of varying sizes (frozen or fresh) for occasions which come with chocolate inscriptions made as specified.
All in all, you can rely on the Druckers chain for amazing cakes.
