A huge thank you to everyone that voted for us in the Deeping Business Awards 2020/2021. I was thrilled to receive it for the best Cafe/Restaurant category. After going through such uncertainty this year, it has given me the extra boost that I’ve needed to carry on, even if it’s only doing takeaways. I’m so proud of what Lillis has achieved over the last nearly 7 years and being part of the Deeping community. We have had such amazing support from regular customers and even new faces popping in for a takeaway while out walking. This is our fourth award since they began and believe me, nothing is taken for granted ,a lot of hard work is involved continuously coming up with new and exciting ideas for the shop. Thank you once again to everyone that took the trouble to vote and look forward to hearing all the hustle and bustle back in shop in the future. ... Sarah

For orders and enquiries please contact us through our Facebook page or email sarah.cakelove@gmail.com You crave a tidy house, whilst I collect and clutter! When you watch your T.V programmes, I leave you well alone, But when I try and watch mine, you call friends up on the phone. I’m useless in the garden, whilst it’s your pride and joy You nurture growth and development, I accidentally destroy! Your roses are magnificent, with their delicate perfumes Yes, (said in the voice of Sid James) “I’ve always admired your blooms”! Your bathroom beatification rivals Cleopatra, the last true Pharoah, But a rogue bit of skin cream in the shower has me doing full Bolero! As I skate around the shower tray, trying to keep composure, I pray my life isn’t reaching an unexpected, sudden closure! Put us in the kitchen, and give us both a knife, This cooking lark demands respect between a man and wife! You chop and peel, grate and whisk, do all the prep work for me, I just stand and stir and sizzle, but you let me take the glory. Last year could’ve been the end, we spent so long together, As the future remains uncertain, we’ll still go on forever. Faced with another lockdown, and perhaps another furlough We talk things out and sort it, and don’t reach for the Gin and Merlot. Not a lot will break us, certainly not Corona! It’s safe to say, we’ve got The Knack, you’re definitely My Sharona!
