Popular Boston Spa patisserie, Pudding Lab, recently opened its second location in Harrogate, and is offering one of our readers the chance to win a delicious afternoon tea for two.
It’s onwards and upwards for Owners of Pudding Lab, Ashley Close and Kian Lian, who some of our readers may recognise from their run on Channel 4’s Bake-Off: The Professionals. The pair have just opened a second location of their popular patisserie in Harrogate. The new eatery sits on Cold Bath Road, in the midst of an area known for its trendy boutiques and independent businesses, so Pudding Lab will fit right in.
Since the shop’s premiere in 2021, it has been making a splash in the local dessert scene with its artisan patisserie treats. Fans of the Boston Spa shop can rejoice, as they will find the same familiar favourites in the new location and can expect all of Ashley and Kian’s newest confectionary concoctions to be found there too. Even better, the new shop will seat 32 guests compared to the Boston Spa shop’s 14, so you can enjoy your favourite cakes without fighting for a table.
One of the stand-out menu items is the ever- popular afternoon tea, coming in at £35 per person. Pudding Lab’s afternoon tea is set apart from the crowd by its even balance between savoury and sweet morsels. The specific selection is ever-changing, so you can indulge time and again and be served something different each time.
The current selection of savoury bites features chicken and green pesto finger sandwiches, a croque monsieur, a goat’s cheese and spiced butternut pithivier (two disks of puff pastry enclosing a filling), and a savoury Paris- Brest (circles of piped choux pastry sandwiching smoked salmon and herb cream cheese, topped with a fresh green pea shoot garnish).
Those with a sweet tooth will also be delighted with the selection of sweet treats provided in the afternoon tea. These include a classic macaron, a mini tart (currently a carrot cake flavoured one), a blackberry and pistachio petit gateau, and a financier (a small French almond cake).
With the party and festive season coming up, Pudding Lab has the perfect gift, withits treat boxes and vouchers available at both locations. Those with dietary restrictions can rest easy with gluten-free and vegetarian options always available.
