Yes! Our menu changes frequently, but we do our absolute best to be conscious of guests' dietary restrictions, preferences, & allergies. Please alert us to your dietary restriction, & we will be happy to point you in the right direction.
We bake it from scratch! Heavy cream goes into our oven for 13 hours, then it is chilled for another 6 hours, & what we are left with is clotted cream & "baked" milk. Clotted cream pairs perfectly with our scones.
We use the baked milk in our scones, which gives them a rich, roasted, almost sweet aroma. All in all, our scones take about 20 hours to make!
