A Chocolate Brownie At Pattiserie Valerie

Patisserie Valerie was one of C’s favourite places for coffee, although she didn’t usually have one of their cakes.

A couple of weeks ago, I had a cup of tea in their cafe at Kings Cross station with a friend.

As it is in a generous-sized china cup and I was in the station again getting tickets for a trip tomorrow, I decided to have another tea today. On asked if I’d like anything else, I said that I was gluten-free and that I didn’t think they had anything, But I was wrong, as the picture shows.

Although it was plastic wrapped, it was one of the best brownies I’ve ever tasted. Plastic wrapping is acceptable to preserve gluten-free  status, when the cake is of this level of quality.

The large cup of tea and the brownie was reasonably priced at £4.60.

Kings Cross station and its neighbour St. Pancras are getting to be very far removed from the tired memories of British Rail’s curled sandwiches and dreadful coffee of the past.

i know it is the policy of Network Rail to take this good food route and they are to be congratulated on their approach.
