Christmas orders and hampers

We are now taking orders for Christmas for Patchwork pate, and Bray's pork pies.

You can pick up an order form at Thyme.

The last order date for these items will be Mon 12th December, so if you would like something in particular please get your order to us by then.

We are also taking orders for Christmas hampers - whilst we have some made up ready to go if you would like several or something bespoke please speak to one of our team and we will make something up specially for you, to suit any budget.

Call us on 01204 692555

In the cafe our festive specials are now available including our fabulous Christmas club sandwich.

Tasting Evening

This year we will be holding our tasting evening on Thursday 17th November.

We'd love you to join us for a glass of mulled wine & a mince pie whilst you enjoy all the tasters which we have on offer.
There will be some special offers on the night too.

This is a ticket only event - our tickets are free but limited. You can collect yours from Thyme whilst they last.


Our doors will open at 6.30pm and last entry will be at 7.45pm.

Local honey & Autumn drinks

We have just received a new delivery of local honey. Treat yourself (or your hay fever) to a jar of unpasteurised loveliness.

We have also had a new delivery from Tracklements

so you can stock up on their delicious chilli jam, onion marmalade, or why not try their new Tewkesbury mustard or spitfire chilli mustard ?

As Autumn is creeping up on us we have a few new drinks on the menu.

We are pleased to be selling this lovely Chai infusion from Henry & Joe's. Try it as a tea, a latte or a dirty Chai.

Alongside our lovely organic hot chocolate, we also have a chilli hot chocolate and a mocha hot chocolate - try one on your next visit.

As pumpkin season is nearly upon us we have brought back pumpkin spiced lattes - available now.

We're not quite ready to say goodbye to summer yet  - we have stocked up on sorbets and ice cream to cling on for as long as we can. Raspberry sorbet for me please.

Thyme turns 13

This week Thyme will become a teenager. I can't believe it has been 13 years since i first opened my doors.
We are lucky to have such fantastic customers and look forward to the next 13 years!

Here are 13 things you may not know about Thyme……

1.   All the products you see on our menu can be bought in our deli - we love fantastic quality produce and this is a great way to try before you buy.

2.   The Thyme team make all our  soups, salads, quiche, frittata, carrot cake, brownies, flapjacks and much more.

3.    We have an outside seating area (at the back) - well it's a yarden, and a proper sun trap too.

4.     Our hot chocolates are made with Montezumas organic 64% chocolate - they take time to make but they are worth it.

5.     The BBC have filmed a live breakfast show from here.

6.    Some of our deli products have come & gone but others have been here since the beginning - including Cartmel sticky toffee puds, local cheeses, Olives et al products, Patchwork pate & Tracklements chutneys.

7.   We have lots of lovely local honey in stock, year round.

8.    We don't just sell food, we also sell cookware and gifts, including handmade cards.

9.    The building used to be part of a hotel  - Thyme was the bar!

10.   Our breakfasts can cure a hangover (allegedly)

11.   We make up gift hampers all year round not just for Christmas.

12.    We have board games for you to while away the afternoon…or just keep the kids occupied.

13.    Yes we can do decaff, soy, skinny, gluten free, vegan.


Thanks for visiting and we hope to see you soon, Amanda & the Thyme Team

Spring/Summer menu additions

Eventually the weather will get warmer and we are ready - with a couple of new additions to our menu.

Try a falafel, houmous & chilli jam wrap, or a chicken caesar wrap - both are also available as a salad for a lighter option.
When the sun comes out you can enjoy your lunch in our 'garden'. Hidden away at the back it's a real sun trap.

We're also stocking the tartlets from Tom's pies (don't worry the pies are still available). There are 3 flavours to choose from - red onion & gruyere, butternut squash & blue cheese, or ham and sun blush tomato. We will be selling these in the cafe served with our homemade potato salad, and coleslaw, or pick up some to take home 

We are now stocking the new flavour from Fentimann's - lime and jasmine, watch out for new San Pelligrino flavours soon too

We have lots of lovely local honey in stock - all ready for the hay fever season.

Hope to see you soon.
