Flapjacks and Coffee

Enjoy tucking into your Blackfriars flapjack during your mid-morning coffee break?

Here are is a fact that you might not have known about coffee to consider as you enjoy your coffee and flapjack this morning.  Most of the world’s coffee is still picked by hand, one bean at a time. An experienced coffee picker can pick about 7 baskets of coffee beans a day, each weighing 50-100 kg. The picker will be paid between $2 and $10 per basket of coffee cherries. Once the coffee cherries are dried and roasted, the coffee beans from that basket will sell for about $110.

Flapjacks & Muffins – our very own poem

Flapjacks and muffins are not normally the stuff of inspiration for poets .  They normally prefer roses, love or er, war.  But Mr Derek Robinson has been moved by the taste of Blackfriars flapjacks and muffins to send us this ditty.  Thank you Mr Robinson.  Hope you enjoy the box of goodies that is heading your way.

Blackfriars Bakery

I really had to write to say
I’m just so glad you came  my way
Your products are the best by far
In fact I rate them all five star
If you host a party or a do
It must be” Blackfriars Products” for you
Blackfriars Products are really great
So tell your family and your mate
In summer winter autumn and spring
Blackfriars Products are just the thing
Blackfriars give you so much more
Quality value and that’s for sure
You will pay your bill and still be jolly
With Blackfriars bargains you will all save Lolly
Blackfriars Products make your life complete
The opposition just can’t compete
I send my best to management and staff
And hope this rhyme gives them a laugh
These words are true I do not jest
Blackfriars Products are just the best

By Mr. Derek Robinson

If you want to find out why our flapjacks and muffins were enough to move Mr Robinson to put pen to paper order some online today or look out for our flapjacks and muffins in the shops.
