If you’re looking for a cafe in Clitheroe with excellent serv­ ice, a friendly welcome and a variety of home-made food, then look no further than the Apricot Meringue. And nowjthere are even


more reasons to pop in, be­ cause customers are being rewarded with the chance to win a free meal worth £25 to celebrate Helen Catlow’s 15 years at the popular cafe in King Street. Helen took over the cafe


from the previous owners 15 years ago, and decided to keep the distinctive and quirky name they’d given it. She used the baking and


confectionery skills she’d learned from her father in the family’s bakery, Wilson’s of Chatburn and Clitheroe, and still uses her family recipes for the cafe’s mouth-watering se­ lection of home-made cakes and scones. “Home baking at


its best,” is the cafe’s motto. “Everything is made fresh


on the premises, and I am proud to use locally sourced ingredients from local sup­ pliers,” The Apricot Meringue


menu includes a wfde range of home-made food and has cer­ tainly kept up with the times
