About Bay Tree Cafe

Tucked away from the chain restaurants, this is a small, warm place where the welcome is genuine and the staff make actual conversation with you — worth knowing if your children take a while to settle. The food is the draw: slow-braised beef hash with kimchi and gochujang (ask for it mild if you're sharing), loaded fries, a properly good mac and cheese made with real cheese, big English breakfasts, and scones coming out of the ovens all day. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating and buggy access, plus vegan options. Be warned it's a compact premises and gets busy — one visitor found tables near the counter feel a bit watched, and on packed days service can feel brisk. Upstairs is the calmer spot. Food generally arrives fast, which helps.
