Bath Oliver

Guest Spot
Jamie's new Deli in Bath spotted by Amanda, owner of excellent local boutique B&B Villa Magdala who says "I think it's pretty good - love the pasta machine that turns out fresh pasta every day - and the bread is great.  There are a few tables for coffee and nibbles - seems to be doing well."

Definition of Toilet

Royal William Bakery, Plymouth gets full marks for humour.
Caravan in London has a more utilitarian approach to its unisex 'toilets'.

Cafe Moo Moo

 Terrific signage at Fishers Farm Park in West Sussex
 Cute biscuits
Refreshing honesty when it comes to the 'instant' coffee cappuccinos in the seasonal kiosks - not to worry, they have quality bean to cup coffee at Cafe Moo Moo.

Plates of Cake


Plates of cake were selling at the rate of five a minute at Hobsons Patisserie in Stratford upon Avon.  Sure Henley Street has an excellent footfall and the pricing was keen - £1 a plate - but the volume of trade was astonishing. 

Moral: invest in Hobsons or try the same idea if you have a similar footfall.  Their sandwich presentation also looked good.

Water Danger

"Poor old Bill toppled in here so take great care and don't come near" is Fisher Farm Park's terrific take on if you have to have a sign, make it memorable, part of the experience and put a smile on the visitors' faces.
