Four mouthwatering chocolate brownies with a cake slice under one, ready to be served

As you will probably have realised, our Bistro has unfortunately had to be closed to the public as we make our way through this third lock-down.

However, the Bistro team are still in the Hospice, working hard to provide fresh and daily food for our patients and for their visitors – as well as refreshments for our colleagues who are still working at the Hospice, providing essential care and services.

Tsvety, who manages our front of house, has kindly taken a moment out of her day to share the recipe for our sooo delicious Fruits of the Forest Brownie.

If you’re home based and missing the Bistro (or other!) sweet treats, give it a try and let us know how you get on!

A closing thought from Tsvety and the team (to whom we are ever so grateful to, for this recipe!):

“I miss deeply the buzz and dynamic of the bistro from the times when we were open, and full, with customers. But I am confident that we have a lot of amazing supporters, which will come back to us again.

Stay strong and stay safe!

Tsvety Marinova and Bistro Team”

We can’t wait for the next one… (hint hint!)
