Get set to loosen your waistbands - the Pudding Pantry with all its mouth-watering breakfasts, delicious cakes and decadent freakshakes is heading to Beeston.
It will be the third site for the locally-run business which first sprung up in Nottingham's Trinity Square in 2014, followed by Sherwood in 2018.
As well as enticing puddings, the cafe specialises in afternoon tea and cakes such as chocolate orange brownies, cornflake tart, and Jammie Dodger tiffin, and fluffy American pancakes topped with salted caramel and hazelnut praline or raspberry Bakewell.
Brunch takes up a big chunk of the menu with a full breakfast of pancakes, egg, bacon and sausage, eggs Benedict, peppered pastrami and halloumi hash, and homemade beans on sourdough toast.
Vegan options are strong, with a separate menu offering brunch, oatshakes and cakes.
Anthony Quinn, who runs the business with his wife Emma, said the cafe, with its eye-catching turquoise and white branding, will open in High Road.
But he's keeping schtum about the exact location, which will revealed all in good time along with an estimated opening date.
He said: "We have had our eye on Beeston for a while, it services quite a large area in Nottingham as a shopping destination, a place to eat and now a place so go in the evening with the new cinema.
"We believe Beeston to be an up and coming area in Greater Nottingham that will rival other suburbs, now with the tram links and the investment in the area.
"We have now established ourselves in north Nottingham (Sherwood) as well as central (Trinity Square) and wanted a good location in the south too."
Since having to close due to lockdown and tier restrictions the Pudding Pantry had adapted to serving takeaways, afternoon tea boxes and pancake kits from the Sherwood site, in Mansfield Road.
Anthony said: "Trade over 2020 has been a rollercoaster, but we have adapted and evolved to be a take out and delivery business which specialises in our very popular afternoon tea boxes, which wasn't a product before the pandemic.
"We sold 125 to Boots in the Victoria Centre over Christmas which was a particular highlight.
"We are taking a gamble with opening up a third site during a pandemic but believe by the time we open the city and country will be in a much stronger position with the arrival of the vaccines, we're also very confident in our support from our amazing customers, who have been incredible during lockdown.
"We're all very excited for 2021 and we are really pleased to be bringing The Pudding Pantry to Beeston."
