Located in The Courtyard, a quaint little(yep, you guessed it) courtyard, Take Thyme is a fine food /delicatessen, selling everything from posh chocs to chutneys to Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. Yes, you heard right. Well, it is a ‘fine food’ of sorts… Basically that was the only reason myself and my two siblings wandered into this cute deli — the ice cream. We had spotted a display just under the archway for Take Thyme, and a small sign had caught my brother’s eye in the process. «Ohhh, Ben and Jerry’s!» No questions asked… the three of us practically sprinted over to the right and corner to further investigate. Take Thyme does have a really good range of food stuffs for such a small shop, and apparently these small tubs of the delectable Ben and Jerry’s for £1.99 are the latest edition. Despite the protests of «Oh my word, I’m stuffed!» and«I’m not eating any more» a mere hour before, both siblings were super eager to purchase their own little pot of Caramel Choo Choo(my sis) and Chocolate Fudge Brownie(the bro). I was happy enough to remain ice creamless. For the finer foods in life, Take Thyme is a fab little find. That apparently includes Ben and Jerry’s. I happen to agree…

A deliciously tempting selection of food makes this place a must. Not too good for the figure or the calories but what the heck, we’ve all blown the New Year resolutions by now anyway. With such a wonderful array od goodies to choose from i’m not going to make any recommendations other than to say get yousself along there and see for yourself. The Courtyard is worth a visit especially for ladies who lunch. You can enjoy a nice meal or light snack in the café and then browse the individual shops that are situated around the courtyard, have a nice endulgent and relaxing time!
