Papadeli Jubilee Brownies

Are you planning a Jubilee party? Did you know there is a Bristol website dedicated to all things Jubilee?
As events and parties build up, this great site features what's on along with tips on how to plan a successful Jubilee party.  As a caterer, we at Papadeli have chosen to post a Jubilee brownie recipe.
Our brownies have been called "legendary" and have quite a following - they can be found on our counter at Alma Road, in the cafe at the Royal West of England Academy cafe and at the various parties and lunches we cater for in and around Bristol.
If you can't get to us, why not follow the recipe and make them at home! The recipe can be found here on the Jubilee website.  Happy cooking!

Raffle for the 4kg egg!

Every year we hold a raffle for a ginormous Easter egg.  This year we have chosen the Rainbow Centre , which is a local Bristol Charity which helps children suffering from life threatening illness and bereavement.

The egg is quite splendid and can be seen in our Alma Road delicatessen. Tickets are also available at our cafe at the Royal Academy on Queen's Road.

The winning ticket will be drawn by Dave Rees, former England rugby international on Good Friday.

Good luck to everyone who has bought a ticket and let's hope we manage to raise lots of money for such a good cause.

We've been busy catering for parties!

Lori our baker has been very busy making cakes for all sorts of events this past week.  Our favourite was this delicious looking chocolate truffle cake.
Imagine receiving this at your special party!

There's been lots of birthday parties and a couple of corporate lunches where they've chosen our delicious cooked salads instead of sandwiches.

Roast courgette and pine nut, cherry tomato Greek salad, bulghar wheat, beetroot & goat's cheese.

A superbly healthy and delicious alternative to a sandwich platter that once tried earns a loyal following!
