Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding

What more can you say than this quote from food goddess Nigella Lawson "Most prepared food is a disappointment, but Carmel Village Shop's Sticky Toffee Pudding is an exception. In fact it is dangerously easy to warm one in the oven and slather it with cream."

Claire Kent produces a small range of unusual preserves and pickles like traditional piccalilli, spicy button mushrooms (marinated button mushrooms), red onion marmalade, sweet red onion, beetroot and ginger chutney and plum chutney.
