PINCH

A PASTRY SHOP ON A SUFFOLK FARM

Pinch us a pastry shop specialising in crullers and gelato. A cruller is a cloud-like doughnut made of deep-fried choux pastry. Our pastries are made using the organic flour, eggs and fruit from Maple Farm, where our cafe is based.

In the warmer months, we serve several flavours of gelato in homemade spelt cones. Our gelato is made using the milk and cream from E.S.Burroughs, a farm on the Suffolk/Norfolk border.

We believe in quality over quantity, which is why we have a limited selection of products to choose from. Please see our menu below.

PINCH 2.0 IS NOW OPEN

We are over the moon to have moved into our new home at Maple Farm, and can’t wait for you all to see it. While we get used to the space and train our team, our offering will remain the same as before.

Gelato and our homemade spelt cones are back on the menu, and pizza BY THE SLICE will be available from the last weekend of July. We have lots planned for the years ahead, and so much potential in our new kitchen.

A huge thank you to all involved with the build, especially The Kendall family, Mike Mallet, Tim Hannon at Brooks Architect and Rob and Matt at G&C Build. What a masterpiece!

WHO'S COOKING?

Alice, born and raised in Suffolk, has worked in some of London's most exciting restaurants such as Kricket, Clipstone, Levan and Emilia, the latter as Head Chef. She has also spent time cooking in Amsterdam, Bangkok and India. The pandemic led her to take a step back from the London restaurant scene, move home to Suffolk and study Food Anthropology at SOAS. During this time, the idea for Pinch was born to showcase and celebrate the incredible local produce she was surrounded by.
