Baker's

This was our first visit, Popped in for a quick coffee. Walked in and was greeted by members of the staff as though we were friends. Even though they were busy, they found a table for us. They ended up with a lovely brunch and hot chocolate and cake. The place was quirky, clean, and blown away with the lovely staff. Just wished we lived close by because the meals we saw coming out of the kitchen all looked amazing and would love to try all of them.

Opened the door to be greeted with a friendly Hello and a smile from a member of staff that just made us feel welcomed. Seated straight away, was only going to have coffee but the breakfast menu looked too good to miss out on. Also seeing the amazing food that other customers ordered as the waitresses passed our table. We were not disappointed the food was lush. The decor was lovely and all the staff even though were busy all were very pleasant.

Visited Baker's for the first time last week as a couple. We was a little unsure as to what the offer is as it is described variously online as a "coffee shop, tearoom, café, bar, kitchen and restaurant", sometimes on the same page and own website, each term brings its own definition and connotation. Spending the day in the outdoors we wasn't really dressed for or wanting a restaurant, more a "muddy boot friendly" tea shop or cafe. We reasoned perhaps it is one of those places that changes as the day goes on? We ate from the Breakfast Menu and we really can't fault the food, it was delicious, with a fair portion size, "personalisation" requests were accommodated without fuss, the food arrived in a timely fashion and was well presented - though I'd prefer the beans to be in a little pot (I'm sure if I ask they would). The Breakfast menu is what I would expect from a good, modern cafe. Pricing was fair, not amazingly cheap, not overly expensive and commensurate with both the quality of food and other localish offerings. Bakers loses a star on service. I entered the shop being another couple, I stood looking at the menu on the wall and was approached by a member of staff who looked at me shocked and questioningly and asked "are you okay", I replied yes, and explained the other couple were first with the reply "yes I know, but i was just checking you are okay?" Another member of staff arrived and I asked for some menus, and placed a drinks order. We initially questioned if we were under-dressed for the venue, but others then left wearing gym/sportswear so cant imagine it was that. It was just a little bit odd and wasn't exactly warm and welcoming. Did they think I was going to rob the place, or did I have two heads? The drinks took a (too) long while to arrive and I was just on my way to chase up when I noticed they'd been made and were sat on the side. The drinks were solid, if cooler than would have been perfect. To sum it up the bill came in at the same to within £1 as another local place we visit regularly but the food was far better, we'll certainly give Bakers another go but I really can't decide if it is a Coffee Shop, Tea Shop, Cafe or Restaurant.

Lovely Bistro type restaurant. Friendly, helpful staff and excellent food. Good choice and great prices. After placing our order we were asked by the waitress if we had any food allergies. I am gluton intolerant and have NEVER been asked anywhere else. So top marks for making everyone feel welcome and wanted - will be going again!

Lunch date with my mum and daughter. Lovely atmosphere. Gorgeous decor. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Food fantastic, fairly priced. The only downside is there is practically no parking. But they are on a main road, so had to park in a side street not far from the restaurant. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely staff, great rustic flavours, best soup I've ever had. Now have had brunch, lunch and early dinner with friends. Food is delicious, have a really good vegetarian and pescatarian menu and is halal friendly as dishes do not have alcohol. The meat is not halal but not missing out on the meat as each plate is delicious. Worth the visit.
