The cafe was shortlisted after meeting tough criteria set by The British Sandwich Association (BSA). Undercover judges visited the cafe and looked at presentation, atmosphere, facilities, cleanliness, innovation and customer service. High scoring on all parts meant that we beat off the stiff competition from the likes of Estro Cafe at Debenhams (Newbury), M&S Tasting Cafe (London) and Greggs Moment (Newcastle)!
Along with being nominated for such a large national award Sue Price-Whittle (owner of Yew Tree Cafe) was announced the winner of her category for Sandwich Designer of the Year too!
Sue won her category, Goddess Tuna, with a “Tuna Chiang Mai Wrap” which wowed the judges with its Thai flavours of coconut, cashew nut and chilli complementing the sponsors tuna ingredient perfectly.
Sue said “We could not have won these awards without the
support of my excellent team of staff, loyal customer base and the warm,
friendly surroundings of the craft centre and its individual businesses.”
Following the success of Yew Tree Cafe at "The Sammies" we are now looking to expand our staff and looking for an Assistant Chef and additional Waitress to lighten the load!!!
With the weather so nice at the moment what better way to enjoy the sun than come along to the Cafe of the Year for a sandwich and a cupcake!
Hope to see you all soon!
