A NEW OPENING FOR HONITON

After many years working tirelessly away at The Holt making it one of the best places to eat in Devon, Kate and Becks have decided to create a niche of their own in Honiton.

Better known as the other halves of Gus and Joe - the youngest two in the McCaig clan and Proprietors of The Holt, Kate and Becks officially opened their new café on Monday July 12th.

Housed within the beautifully decorated Yarrow Interiors, just up from the pub, 'Toast' will serve patisserie inspired cakes, traditional English cooking, ethically produced Fair Trade coffee and superb loose leaf teas.

As well as high teas and cream teas, there will be a daily changing cake display featuring strawberry & custard tarts, a delicious selection of cup cakes, cookies and sweet treats including a selection of homemade ice cream.

The more traditional fayre will predominantly be simple dishes done well: Poached eggs on muffins served with air dried ham, Salad of mozzarella with green and broad beans, peas and a basil dressing, Smoked mackerel and cucumber relish, Heinz beans on hot buttered toast and also a daily changing soup.

A delighted Kate had this to say: "Toast will be somewhere that people will be able to come to for any number of reasons - lunch with mum, an end of term treat, coffee or a really good hot chocolate with friends, a special occasion or just somewhere to pick up a cake on the way back to work.

The atmosphere will have a nice, calming, sanctuary feel to it - step through the front door and you'll leave the world behind. We'll be baking throughout the day so there will be some lovely aromas coming from the kitchen. During the summer the long, enchanting garden is the perfect spot to kick back with a big jug of homemade lemonade and just enjoy the sun."

Toast will be open Monday to Saturday from 8am - 6pm and on Sundays from 9am - 4pm. For all enquiries please telephone 01404 44399.

We wish them all the best!
