New crêperie brings flavour of France to the Market Hall
A taste of France has come to Shrewsbury Market Hall with the opening of an authentic crêperie.
Les Crêpes De Sophie, specialising in traditionally made French crêpes and Belgian waffles, has been launched by Frenchwoman Sophie Carron and her English partner Mathew Hocking.
Also on the menu of the colourful eatery and takeaway are authentic milkshakes made with real ice cream, Welsh fairtrade tea, including ‘Les Crêpes de Sophie’s own Breakfast blend, locally roasted coffee and artisan cider and Belgian beer.
“In our shop we have created an atmosphere for people to relax, enjoy a crêpe and, if they want, they can speak French with Sophie – she’s starting to forget!” said Mathew.
All crêpes are made fresh using local ingredients. Fillings range from the classic, such as Nutella and lemon & sugar, and specialities of Sophie’s home region like Speculoos, made with cinnamon & ginger paste, through to Sophie’s own fillings including apples and sultanas cooked in cider and topped with vanilla ice cream.
“Cider has always accompanied crêpes particularly well and for our shop we’ve sourced some of the best cider from Herefordshire and South Wales,” added Sophie.
To reflect Sophie’s roots in Flanders, the crêperie stocks a selection of some rare Belgian beers, such as Westvleteren and St Bernardus.
Situated on the first floor of the Market Hall, in Claremont Street, Shrewsbury, Les Crêpes De Sophie can seat 12 people and most crêpes and drinks are available to takeaway.
In addition, the business is available for outside catering for events, birthdays, weddings, and office parties. www.facebook.com/lescrepesdesophie
