Made to feel warm and welcome from the moment we walked through the door. The building it's self it's beautiful. The food was lovely and I had the best chai latte I have had in a long time. Our waitress Danielle was very helpful and was kind and smiley. I will definitely be going for lunch there more often.

Service and atmosphere - outdoor seating - were fabulous. The sandwiches we enjoyed were tasty, very very tasty & substantial. What brands are the brown breads you use please ? Such a rich flavour and great bakes, we would love to buy these for home - but without all the trial, error & expense we would need to go through to match the ones you use!! Hubby loved his coffee and my glass of Malbec went down a treat lol Thank you and your cheery staff for our very enjoyable first late lunch with BAC !!
