Pinch
Suffolk, Kelsale - Café
Now settled into its lovely new space just across the yard from its original premises on Maple Farm, this always-busy café has big plans for the future. Chef Alice Norman (ex-Clipstone in London) still wows with her 'divine' crullers (flighty, fresh-fried choux-pastry doughnuts) and there is a lot of love for the choux au craquelin, filled to bursting with sweet-savoury custard made with local St Jude cheese. Gelati are served in hand-made spelt cones, and the self-styled ‘no fuss, no cutlery’ approach also extends to seasonal Roman-style pizzas by the slice. The coffee is excellent, but don't miss the seltzers or the blackcurrant shrub.
