The Art of Scones

Celebrating a Great British tradition!

Tucked away on the rugged Exmoor Coast of North Devon lies the charming town of Lynton, a picturesque escape that boasts not only stunning views but also a hidden gem for food enthusiasts – the North Coast Cafe.

It’s here that the British tradition is being celebrated with a delightful twist, thanks to the café’s latest collection: an exquisite new scone menu that is tantalising the taste buds of locals and visitors alike.

Mrs. Beeton, a doyenne of home cookery, once said, “The sweetness of jam and the richness of cream elevate the humble scone from mere pastry to a delightful luxury.” 

At North Coast Cafe, these words are the embodiment of their scone-making philosophy. Each handcrafted scone is a testament to Neal’s dedication to bringing a touch of luxury to every bite.

A Scone for Every Tastebud!

Whether you’re a devout traditionalist or a seeker of new tastes, the North Coast Cafe’s menu caters to all. Morning, noon, or sunset, it’s always the perfect time to indulge in one of their handmade delights.

Classic Scones

Begin with the basics but with a refined edge. Choose from a plain scone or its gluten-free fruit variant and pair it with the rich clotted cream and an array of handmade preserves.

Strawberry Jam

Blueberry Jam

Black Cherry Conserve

Lemon Curd

Orange Marmalade

North Devon Honey

Speciality Scones

For those yearning for a twist on the traditional, Neal’s specialty scones offer a unique flavour fusion:

Ginger Scone with Clotted Cream & Lemon Curd – a truly delicious variation of gingery-warm scones served with tangy handmade lemon curd, made from dozens of freshly squeezed lemons.

Be tempted by one of Neal’s other tasty scone creations and pairings, all served with plenty of clotted cream, or butter …

Coffee & Walnut Scone with locally sourced ‘North Devon Queens’ Honey

Chocolate Scone with handmade Black Cherry Conserve

Savoury Scones

For a departure from the sweetness of a classic scone, savoury scones provide an equally delectable choice:

Cheese Scones with Vintage Cheddar and Onion Chutney

Feta, Black Olive, and Roasted Pepper Scones with Feta and Onion Chutney

Celebrating Tradition with a Local Twist

At North Coast Cafe, the celebration of scones is more than just an homage to English culinary heritage – it is the artistry of combining locally sourced ingredients like ‘North Devon Queens’ honey with the sheer delight that a perfect scone can bring.

Allow yourself to be whisked away by the simple pleasures of a handmade scone with lashings of clotted cream and a delicious sweet or savoury topping.
