Buttery B&P made flakey puff pastry encases delicately spiced dried fruit. 

Eccles cakes history stretches back over three centuries and historians are certain that the origins of these pastries can be traced to the town of Eccles in Manchester.  

The word “Eccles” means ‘church’ and is a derivative of the Greek ‘Ecclesia’, which means an assembly. 

Each year during the passing centuries a Service was held at the church to celebrate its construction. This became known as the “Eccles Wakes” and was followed by a fair where food and drink could be purchased in abundance, including the ever popular Eccles Cake.

These cakes are made fresh daily in the Studio and are strictly only available during Platinum Jubilee Week. They are great with cheese, preferably Lancashire but a Cheddar or Stilton work very well or they are great as part of a platter of cheeses and cold meats.
