Pictured here: twice-baked chocolate cake with salted caramel ganache, seasonal apple & blackberry crumble, and classic mini Victoria sponges—all baked fresh by our bakery team.
Paired with warm scones, savoury mini brioche buns, and hot pots of Bellevue tea, it is the best way to warm up after a walk across the common.
Because every stand is prepared fresh to order, our tables are limited each day and weekend slots fill up very quickly.
