Posh Hot Chocolate Originally uploaded by meriwilliams. On a cold day off, I decided that hot chocolate was the answer. This was the posh hot chocolate, which usually comes with little marshmallows, but on this particular day they had run out, so I got chocolate buttons instead. The combination of the whipped cream and the […]
Power Smoothie Overflowing Originally uploaded by meriwilliams. The words “Power Smoothie” conjured up visions of a mighty concoction with plenty of substance. It did not disappoint. I couldn’t imagine a beefier drink that didn’t contain meat (this is actually a meat-free drink). From my memory it contained yoghurt, honey and milk, with the real thickness […]
Black & Blue Smoothie Originally uploaded by meriwilliams. There are two new smoothies on the updated menu and this is one of them. It involves blueberries, black grapes and grape juice. Although Elly remains dubious about the combination, I think it’s lovely — sweet but refreshing. The other thing that’s really impressed me in recent […]
Hot Chocolate Originally uploaded by meriwilliams. On Molly’s last day visiting with us, we of course had to go to Belle and Herbs for breakfast. I had one of my favourites, the Eggs Benedict, which was very enjoyable, but not the best I’ve ever enjoyed there. I also decided to have this normal hot chocolate […]
Whatever’s Left Smoothie Originally uploaded by meriwilliams. We went along to Belle & Herbs rather late on this Sunday afternoon. When trying to order some regular smoothies, they explained they’d had a massive rush that morning and so the regular smoothies were all off! They were, however, offering this one — a random combination of […]
Posh Hot Chocolate Originally uploaded by meriwilliams. This posh hot chocolate (as opposed to the dead dead posh hot chocolate that Elly had previously) consisted of hot chocolate made completely with steamed milk, topped with lashings of whipped cream and as many marshmallows as the staff can balance on top!! This is seriously, seriously rich […]
Belle & Herbs Smoothie Originally uploaded by meriwilliams. Belle and Herbs’ trademark smoothie is a great combination of apple, melon, orange, strawberry and possibly a bunch of other ingredients I’ve forgotten. Lovely mix, great taste 🙂
Berry Smoothie Originally uploaded by meriwilliams. One of the set recipe smoothies on the menu, the Berry Smoothie is made with Raspberries, Cranberries, Cherries and Redcurrents. It’s quite tart, and packed full of flavour. And not only that, it’s the most fantastic colour – it’s a wonderful dark red/purple!!
Top View of My Smoothie Originally uploaded by meriwilliams. The best thing about having a smoothie at Belle and Herbs is that after you order it you tend to see someone go past with an entire jug of fruit pieces. If you crane your neck a bit you can also see them blitz it into […]
Originally uploaded by ellythompson. There’s a whole section of the Belle and Herbs drinks menu dedicated to Smoothies. You can either pick one of their specials, or design-your-own from a list of fruit. The best thing is watching people wandering between front-of-house and the kitchen with jugs full of fruit. The Strawberry & Raspberry (with […]
originally uploaded by meriwilliams. There are 3 Hot Chocolate Drinks on the Menu at Belle & Herbs… This, is the most extravagant. The others consist of “Normal” Hot Chocolate (in a large cup) “Posh” Hot Chocolate (in a large cup with squirty cream and marshmallows) The “Dead, Dead, Posh” Hot Chocolate is served in a […]
