2023 Have A Scone In Scone Event: A Delicious Success!

Another successful year for the Have a scone in Scone festival with most cafes reporting they sold out of scones everyday! One café I visited had made 60 scones that day and were still baking!

And we know most people don’t just pop in and grab a scone – they have a coffee with their scone or lunch then a scone.

Thank you to all the cafes that took part and everyone who supported out local cafes and had a scone last week.

AND THE WINNER of the People’s Choice award

1^st place – Asser House (for the second year in a row)

2^nd place – RJ’s Café

3^rd place – the Common

Judges Phil McGuirk and Lyn Tout (CWA) with Ivy, Stuart & young Grant of Asser House Cafe

The Great scone Bake off had over 35 entries this year which was a fantastic result.

CWA judge Trish Walker commended all the participants for having a go.

Its not always about how pretty they look but its all about the flavour!
