Kipling Pâtisserie & Prose at Melbicks

Welcome to Kipling Patisserie at Melbicks, part of a destination store that is situated a short distance from Birmingham that features an open bakery influenced by Rudyard Kipling and his love for cakes.

"one day he took flour and water and currants and plums and sugar and things, and made himself one cake which was two feet across and three feet thick. It was indeed a Superior Comestible (that’s magic), and he put it on stove because he was allowed to cook on the stove, and he baked it and he baked it till it was all done brown and smelt most sentimental."

As a tribute to our namesake, Kipling, our highly trained pastry chefs have created a Signature Plum Crumble Cake that utilises the same fine ingredients as described by Rudyard in his infamous quote.

Our pâtisserie range is indeed a little celebration in itself intended to delight and tantalise your palette.  There is something for everyone and we are more than happy to cater for any allergies or dietary requirements you may have. Please advise your server upon placing your order.

We can offer a traditional full afternoon tea served with a freshly baked scone, Cornish clotted cream, strawberry preserve, a selection of finger sandwiches and a mouth watering range of exquisite pastries and cakes. We recommend that you make a booking and this can be done online by clicking 'book now' below or by phoning the restaurant directly.
