OMG, I am so glad that Patisserie Valerie has decided to open a cafe in Beverley! It is situated…read morewithin Debenhams in the new Flemingate Shopping Centre (1st Floor). The day we went, it was very busy but there was still some seating available. The choice of cake/pasteries was great. Just looking at them I wondered how many will I be able to eat in one go, they look that tasty! I plumped for the double chocolate cake in the end. It was lovely and moist, but most of all, it was tasty! There was even a profiterole on top covered in chocolate. The slices are a fair size too which personally are think are reasonably priced considering how nice they are. To be honest, the portions are just the right size. Once I finished mine, I was nicely full and couldn't have managed anything else (even if they did look lush). With my slice of cake, I had a pot of tea, which was enough to get three cups out of, which was a pleasant change. They use tea leaves which are contained in a compartment just under the lid. They do have a selection of sandwiches too (not just cakes!) and they also do an afternoon tea off for £25 (for 2 people) which includes some sandwiches/quiche, some patisseries and some scones. I'm assuming that you would also get a tea/coffee included in the price, although it was not mentioned in the menu. You can opt to take the sanwiches and cakes away if you like and avoid the paying the VAT. I would just like to say that if I put on loads of weight in the next few months, it is my mum's fault (who told me thay had opened one in Beverley) and I partly blame Matt F (Manchesters CM) for posting his review/photo, which made me want to pay them a visit there and then! :o)

This escalated as the manger of the patteserie was rude , due to this we (family of 5) left.While the staff at the patteserie acted in a less than satisfactory manor the manger in Debanhams which is connected was more than helpful and acted in a very professional manor. Overall not a very good experience for the first day in our new home.

Have been to folly lake cafe from day one and have seem a few changes over time all to the good…read more Food is great and they now do chips for those who need them but they specialise in CAKE. They are always trying to invent new recipes and do a lot gluten free. Don't think it will be long before they expand as there business has really grown in a short time but they've managed to keep up and haven't compromised on the quality of food.then only negative I have is the toilets need improving , and seems to now be a cash only business which can at times be a problem.

Whether you're a seasoned fisher or simply a person who enjoys fine views, we have it all here at Folly Lake Cafe. Risby fishing ponds were built 17 years ago on the ancient site of Risby hall and gardens. The hall was burnt to the ground in 1784 but the Folly remains on the bank of the lake which adopts its name. All the lakes are set in a tree lined undulating valley that once boasted one of the biggest deer parks in Yorkshire. The odd wild deer can still be seen by the die hard early rising fisherman.

If you are pushchair-laden the courtyard can be accessed from Dyer Lane.

Stopped for coffee and cake in the Secret Garden, while looking for a sugar high in Bridlington…read more There's a kind of worn-out charm about it, like an out of season seaside town I suppose. Chipped paint and dusty pot-plants. I probably picked the wrong time of day to go too. 5pm, they were closing soon, and clearly the cake selection had been raided by more experienced cake-snafflers earlier. But, it was sunny upstairs and I got to sit by the window. Stareing wistfully out onto Bridlington town centre. I really want to be nice about the Secret Garden. The staff were friendly and the chocolate cake was good (made with fresh whipped cream mmmmm). The girl who made my coffee was smiley and kind of cute too ;-) But, I wouldn't go back, that coffee was awful.
