Question 1

Are your cheesecakes vegetarian?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All of our cheesecakes are suitable for vegetarians.

Question 2

Are your cheesecakes halal?

Accepted Answer

Our Classic Burnt Basque Cheesecake is halal.
It does not contain alcohol, pork, gelatine, or animal-derived additives. We use only cream cheese, cream, sugar, and eggs.
Some of our signature flavours (including 75% Dark Chocolate and Tiramisu) contain vanilla extract, which includes a small amount of alcohol as part of the ingredient. For this reason, these flavours may not be considered halal by all customers.
If you’re unsure, please feel free to ask — we’re always happy to help you choose the right cake.

Question 3

Do your cheesecakes contain alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Classic Burnt Basque Cheesecake: No alcohol
Signature flavours (e.g. Dark Chocolate, Tiramisu): Contain vanilla extract, which includes a small amount of alcohol as part of the ingredient

We never add alcohol directly for flavouring.

Question 4

Are your cheesecakes safe for pregnant women?

Accepted Answer

Our cheesecakes are made with fresh British Red Lion eggs and dairy products.
However, the eggs we use are not pasteurised, so we recommend that pregnant customers consult current NHS guidance or make their own informed decision before consuming.
If you have any questions about ingredients, we’re always happy to share full details.

Question 5

How should I serve the cheesecake?

Accepted Answer

Our cheesecakes are best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.

We recommend:
Removing from the fridge 20–30 minutes before serving
Do not heat — the creamy texture is designed to be enjoyed cool

Question 6

How long can the cheesecake stay out of the fridge?

Up to 2 hours at room temperature is fine
For best quality and food safety, keep refrigerated when not serving
