The old bakery is a hidden treasure, on our first visit we were made to feel extremely welcome, Excellent food and great service. Have been back 3 times since and food had been consistently brilliant. Lunchtime menu is excellent value for money too. I can't wait for next time.

We celebrated my son's 21st birthday with the taster menu at The Old Bakery last week. I was so impressed by the great value. The food was fantastic and there was an extensive selection of reasonably priced wines. We had read Matthew Norman's report in the Telegraph some time ago and were a little disappointed that the "world class curmudgeon"... More

Excellent location free overnight parking very close to the city centre. Beautiful food and lovely staff. We had the room right at the top of the building which has VERY steep steps and that was the only negative comment. The bed was comfy and the room warm and quiet which gave us a great nights sleep.

Have just enjoyed a wonderful weekend break at The Old Bakery. We were thoroughly impressed with the service and atmosphere in the restaurant. The attention to detail and knowing the provenance of the food was well worth the prices charged. We also stayed in a comfortable but basic room, which unfortunately had the bathroom directly across the hallway, but given... More

We ate here recently and were looking forward to it. The service was ok, bit surly. My husband had the 5 course taster menu which is aptly named because a taster was all it was. He hadn't eaten since breakfast so as to enjoy the meal but the portions were so mean he left unsatisfied and joked about getting some... More

We attended this Restaurant with great expectations. We were quite a large group and were sat in the conservatory, nice, although a few stained cushions on chairs (not too bad). I would not like to do an injustice to the restaurant but did wonder if the high numbers influenced the disappointing service we received. We paid £28.50 for a 3... More

My fiancee and i went for dinner at the Old Bakery and were very impressed. The restaurant is fantastic, the conservatory area is beautiful at night and very romantic. The food especially was outstanding. It was of a very high quality and there was a good option. The staff were also very good, very professional.

Four of us went for a birthday celebration . We were greeted by a very pleasant waitress and shown to a table in the small room at the front of the restaurant.The atmosphere was harsh due to the overhead spot lights.....candles or subtle lighting would have made such a difference.The only hospitality came from the two waitresses.
