Strawberries at 10.30? I'm court red-handed...

Scottish Daily Express

July 02, 2025

IT’S not too early for strawberries and cream at 10.30am, is it?

- By Geoff Maynard at Wimbledon

Definitely not, if it’s the Wimbledon tennis championships’ supreme vintage.

So here I am, minutes after the gates have opened, and yes I am excited about the tennis — but this Wimbledon gastronomic experience is also firmly on my bucket list.

‘These are not just any strawberries. These are Wimbledon strawberries, and a whole lot of effort goes into making them just perfect for consumption by 40,000 hungry fans each day in SW19.

Racing through the crowds, I zero in on a public restaurant next to number one court where top women’s seed Aryna Sabalenka is due to play.
