Strawberries and Cream

Every year about 27,000 kilos of strawberries are eaten during the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, together with 7,000 litres of cream. The popularity of serving strawberries with cream is possibly as old as the event itself. The club held its first tennis championships in 1877. They were witnessed by a few hundred spectators in what is described as a “garden party atmosphere.” Today, the Wimbledon championships are attended by more than 500,000 people as well as carried to millions around the world through mass media and the Internet.

Blackfriars has successfully captured the ‘taste of Wimbledon’ in the Strawberry Fields Flapjack – a delicious blend of strawberries and cream that taste of summer. So this month, to celebrate the Wimbledon season, why not treat yourself to a box of Strawberry Fields Flapjacks to enjoy whilst watching the game?

Go Murray, Go!
