Food & Drink Awards 2017

LUX - Food & Drink Awards 2017 19 European Café of the Year - Gloucestershire WafelWaffle offers a unique range of treats designed to suit every palate, including gluten free options and various flavours. Agnes discusses the establishment’s menu and how it caters to a variety of tastes. “The watchword at WafelWaffle, the Authentic Belgian Waffle Cafe, is quality; everything we do, everything we make, everything we sell, is of the highest quality. Starting with a special waffle flour, which we import exclusively from our Belgian miller to make our waffles, and adding Frederic Blondeel Belgian chocolates, Maison Dandoy biscuits, and ‘Santos’ brand coffee from Belgian suppliers, we then use local producers for our fresh milk and cream, ice cream and bacon, and niche suppliers such as Tregothnan teas and Gigi & Son chutneys. This attention to detail in our supply chain means we can guarantee the excellence of our food and drink. We then combine these premium- quality products with a level of service we believe is unsurpassed in our region. The waffles are freshly- made to order, by me, the proprietor, and served with a unique variety of savoury or sweet accompaniments.” In her concluding comments Ages outlines her pride in the success of WafelWaffle and why she believes that the café has become so popular. European Café of the Year - Gloucestershire WafelWaffle is an innovative Gloucestershire based café serving Authentic Brussels Waffles. Founder Agnes Boes provides us with a fascinating overview of the café and the dishes it creates. FO170008 “Overall, the title ‘European Cafe of the Year’ is an important recognition of the significance of European tastes and techniques in the food and drink sector. While Gloucestershire is well served with cafes and tea rooms offering traditional English fare, we believe that there is a significant demand for food and drink with a more continental flavour, and by keeping our offer authentically Belgian we can attract customers to this particular niche in the market. “Sometimes people ask me ‘what makes a café Belgian?’ For me, it is a combination of Belgian food - waffles of course, but also homemade soup, ice cream sundaes and excellent coffee - and a certain ‘vibe’ that includes world music, a poetry corner, eclectic artworks, combined with a welcoming atmosphere that gives my customers time and space to relax, savour the moment and enjoy interesting conversation. All in all, I believe that WafelWaffle makes a unique contribution to the local area, offering something different, something high- quality - something really special.” “We then combine these premium- quality products with a level of service we believe is unsurpassed in our region.
