Bakehouse Cafe in Shropshire

What a great place - delicious home cooked food at really reasonable prices. Service was really good, no complaints at all. 100% recommend

A hidden gem We have been to Bridgenorth many times. However, we had never been down the courtyard the cafe is in. The cafe is very cosy. The lady who served us was very polite. The meals were excellent value for money, very tasty and well presented. The prices were excellent. This is good value,no frills food. There were four of us on a very wet day.It was very relaxing g sitting there chatting with friends. We were not hurried by staff to leave. The gammon was very tasty. The sandwiches and toasties were well presented. Cash only.....Good for the cafe for making a stand! Very happy to support a local buisness and keep cash in circulation.There is a ash point near by if needed.If the cash points aren't aren't used, they will go out of circulation also! The only downside is no toilet.

cash only. A no no today. No toilets. Then got our order wrong. and swore blind that's what we had ordered. Which we absolutely did not. Then asked us to pay for again for the correct order. Unbelievable people. Basically called liars the

Food order came wrong. Both staff swore blind I had the order wrong, then asked if we would like to pay for the correct order?

Wow amazing food and drinks. Cheese sandwich delicious and well presented with fresh salad plus crisps. Full english breakfast great value and was excellent. Coffee and hot chocolate lovely

I’ve eaten here many times before and food is fine, location is comfortable and cash only isn’t a issue for me as I like to support small businesses rather than large chains, however a little confusion over 2 or 4 rounds of toast left the lady at the counter very sharp with me, it really was unnecessary and she seemed to get irritated by the matter which really was minor, not sure why, sadly will be taking my custom to another small business in future.

Super little cafe. Enjoyed sandwiches and toasties. Catered for my gluten free needs. Will be returning. Great value.

What a little gem! First visit but not our last. Yes, no toilet & yes, cash only but didn't present us with any problems. The food was good. Freshly cooked. Very reasonably priced too. Main meals only £8. Service was welcoming, friendly & very efficient. Certainly plan to visit again - soon 🙂

Gem of a little independent cafe, cheered up a rainy day. Food and drink were lovely quality and reasonably priced. Looking forward to tucking into takeaway lemon meringue pie! ☺️

We were passing through and found the cafe in a side passage of the high street. We ordered two meals - Scampi and chips served hot and a Tuna mayonnaise sandwich. Both were good potions. The cafe was not busy but ticking over. For service you must order at the counter, the girls were friendly. Cash only, this needs to be displayed better.

1st class 5 stars from me Just had minted lamb hotpot followed by a slice of apple pie and slice of lemon meringue with cream Excellent prices for a Sunday And excellent service 5 stars

Visited on a Thursday lunchtime. Café was clean and tidy but I didn't feel that the staff were particularly welcoming. Also it's cash only here, no card payments accepted. Had the faggots peas and mash, which tasted dry, not enough gravy and quite weak. Coffee average. There is a good choice of places to eat in Bridgnorth, so I will probably look elsewhere next time.

3 of us Went in on a rainy lunch time and managed to get a table straight away. Menu already on the table and a sign fixed on the "table order at the counter" . We ordered 3 teas whilst waiting to look at the food menu. The lady said you need to pay for this straight away! Me: We will be having some food can I pay all together at the end? No sorry! OK I feel they don't trust their customers. No problem, took out my card.... Sorry cash only! It s 2023 if you don't accept card please put up a sign outside your main door. At this point another woman joined the counter willing to place an order and as soon as she heard no card she went back to her table of 4, explaining the issue and they left. I asked if I could place the order whilst going out to get cash. 3 breakfast (1 of them vegetarian). Got cash, paid and sat down to enjoy our tea. When the breakfast came it was very avarage. Horrible sausage (nearly as bad as a Richmond), overcooked eggs at the bottom and tinned plum tomato. The vegetarian one had no vegetarian sausage: only beans, tomato, mushrooms, Ash brown and eggs (even those overcooked) . We opted to not have any pudding. The worst bit of this experience is the lack of customer service as we never seen any staff member going to tables, offering a bit of service, a chat with customers, clearing away plates etc. 2 ladies chatting up and washing up in their kitchen to the point they never noticed we even left, said good bye or anything at all. That s why they expect customers to pay in advance.

No toilet. Cash only. Fetch your own drinks. Fetch your own sauces. Plastic tablecloths. Little red serviette dispensers. Welcome to the 50s - but not in a good way. Tucked away down an alley off the main road this is a cheap lunchtime eatery with passable food. Toilet should be provided if more than 20 seats and given there is apparently also seating upstairs I don’t understand the lack of a loo.

I think the older lady that serves in the cafe should go on a customer service training course. An order was mixed up because there is no proper table system in place and we were the ones who were blamed. Instead of discussing the issue we were screeched at by this lady in front of the whole cafe. She was incredibly rude and most unprofessional. We were left to feel very humiliated and other customers also appeared very embarrassed.

Tasty food and friendly. No toilet facilities and make sure you bring cash as no payment by card. Cash machine over the road next to Tesco so no problems. Lots of things on the menu and good specials, very nice dessert and cake selection too.

Went today ordered a ladies were lovely friendly pleasant. Order came my wife had cream.cheese bake and jacket potato.she said bake was lovely the jacket had no butter though so dry .mine steak pie chips pie was rock hard so I returned it .I said just do pie again I could eat at the same time as my wife no she wanted to do the lot again she said .we were 1st table as you walk.down arcade outside .she just said new microwave I have to get used to timings she walked away I said can I have knife and fork she said nothing after the second time so as she went just in door I shouted hello she said I am fetching it how do I know if not answered .she came out brought it I said I would not have shouted I did not know she had heard me .she then said all of bridgenorth head you walked inside muttering I .shame we have eated there before never z problem that's why I went back .no.wonder people eat in wetherspoons.

Small breakfast and white coffee. Over cooked egg, cheap beans, cheap sausage, cheap brown sauce, worst coffee i've ever tasted. Dressed up as a bake house and is really a greasy spoon. I don't really want to listen to the two women discussing a friend, who is apparently the nosiest women in the world ! No single use menu's, tables not cleaned between customers and cash only.

Super friendly staff and really good price for the amount of food you get. The food was really lovely too. Could not recommend this place enough!

Found this little cafe of the high street, breakfast was lovely and a good choice of specials too. Friendly staff, we will be back.

Found this small cafe by chance just off the high street.Some interesting choices on the specials board including faggotts and hot pot that you don’t see so much now.Staff were efficient though not overly friendly other than to the locals.No toilets on the premises,but good food at a decent price.I enjoyed my meal.

Lovely lunch on a cold wet Monday in November! Really friendly and welcoming staff, great food and coffee, and a warm welcome for us all - including our dog.

We stopped by for a lite bite and a coffee with 2 small children - not child friendly at all. It is quite small but we were instantly asked to move the pushchair becuase it was "in the way". Also were told we couldn't sit at a particular table as it was taken though I couldn't see a reserved sign... felt like we were being told off. Not very welcoming. Upstairs was closed so no toilet available.Food was okay, not great not terrible. Of all the tea rooms in bridgnorth I wouldn't bother with this one again there are much nicer, friendlier places to pop in.

Good value home cooked food. Generous portions. I had the nut roast with goats cheese which came with vegetables and new potatoes and was delicious. Several tables outside, busy place which speaks for its success!

Walked in and went to sit at the only available table because the upstairs area was closed. We were bellowed from the serving counter "that that was someones table. We turned round and walked out, what a way to run a business!

Me and my boyfriend were staying in the Dinney holiday cottages for a family wedding and after checking out we thought we'd find a small cafe for a bite to eat. As soon as me and my partner saw the menu we went to get some cash and ordered food. He had a big breakfast which as he quotes was "banging" and I had the bacon and egg on toast which was amazing. Highly recommend, lovely staff

Called in for a quick breakfast. No recognition from anybody when I was walked in and there was no customers in there. I sat myself down, chose what I wanted, then approached the counter (this is counter service). The female was busy chatting to the gentleman in the back and looked at me but carried on talking. Eventually, she approached the counter to serve me. I ordered a small breakfast and a pot of tea for on. Both were served quite quickly. The breakfast was tasty, the bacon was really nice and the tea was good. I paid a total of £5.50 and thought this was good value. Nice little café tucked down an alleyway.

Nice cosy little cafe tucked away in a courtyard off the main High street. Good selection on the menu..you find a seat..choose from the menu then order at the counter.The gentleman who served me was very pleasant & polite.Ordered ham/salad & cheese/pickle sandwiches which were served with salad & crisps.Very filling & nice coffee as well.The only drawback is there are no toilet facilities on the premises.

Great value for lovely freshly cooked food. Good choice and well cooked good produce. Very clean, friendly staff. Children catered for with decent portions. Four lunch meals, including two kids meals, and four drinks for under £20.

Looking for breakfast and we were lucky enough to chance upon the bakehouse. Two great cooked breakfasts, tea and coffee less than £12. Lasted us the whole day!! Heading back soon to try their lunch menu.

Popped in for lunch as they have an outdoor dog friendly area. Ordered steak pie, chips, peas and gravy £5:50. Couldn’t fault it, pie was lovely. They even brought a children’s plastic plate so we could share with our toddler. Great choice and obviously most is homemade. Pleasant staff too. Only downside- no toilets.

Judging from the reviews, the food is nice, however, I was unfortunately not able to try it myself as they wouldn't allow me to order food to eat off the premises. I even offered to wrap it up myself. Luckily there's a nice cafe just a few yards further on the corner on the high street called Tea & Roses which do do takeaways - and have toilets. The staff are friendlier at Tea & Roses, too, and don't laugh at you as you leave for trying to order a takeaway.

Having been to another cafe in Bridgnorth to be told we would not be served as we were in biker leathers, walking a little further we found this little cafe down an alley. Great menu with plenty of choice and also a specials board. We ordered tea for two and teacakes. Quick service, served in a teapot with proper cups and two teacakes. We were able to sit outside in the court yard which was great. The tea cakes arrived hot and with plenty of butter. A great little find and one which we will definitely return to.

Called in for mid morning coffee but we were tempted by the scones and bacon buttie. Friendly and efficient services bacon cooked to order. Lunch menu looked excellent and will try that on our next visir

Nothing fancy but homely and really good down to earth food. Delicious chilli and rice, sandwiches and a great cup of tea. Three of us ate lunch for £15, well worth a look!

Food was great. Been here several time. And we find the young lady serving meals is so miserable and clearly obvious doesn’t like work. All other staff friendly.

Always love visiting this cafe. Great selection of main menu meals and loads of specials to choose from.

Called in for a bite to eat, needed something warm as the weather was rubbish for the end of April, we had a baked potato with cheese and salad, cheese on toast, tea and coffee cost £ 10.00 great value for money, the cheese on toast is the best I've ever had, service quick, great value for money, highly recommended

Called in for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed our food and would definitely call again. Had a short wait for our food, but presume that was because each order was freshly cooked.

Good food and all the staff are polite and nice and it is good value for money and I go in every Saturday im in bridgnorth

excellent little cafe tucked away in an alley.Service and food both fantastic everyone should go but leave a seat for us.

Nice cafe but no toilet facilities, told nearest was 10 minute walk. Will not be returning. Pity because food was good.

We dropped in for a quick lunchtime bite, the café looked fairly busy, but we found a seat. The upstairs area was marked as closed, but the locals seems to go up there anyway. We ordered faggots, mash and peas and a sausage sandwich, we were asked if we wanted the bread buttered, which we didn't, but it was done anyway. The cook was making one meal at a time and it took 45 minutes to get our meal. It was overdone and not at all tasty, not only that, but it was certainly not cheap. The staff are more interested in chatting with locals and gossiping, I felt rather sorry for the people they were openly discussing.

Great find tucked away off Bridgnorth High Street. No nonsense value and decent quality. Good service.

We saw this place as we walked round and saw how busy it was and returned a little while later just in time to get a table that was being vacated. You order at the counter and promptly did so. Its a get your own cutlery and condiments sort of place which is fine. Our lunch order consisted of a sausage & mushroom sandwich and the homemade faggots. There was no indication from the woman at the counter that would be any delay and there were certainly less in than when we first entered. 35 minutes later our food came without any apology for the delay. One problem we identified is there seems to be only one in the kitchen and he had one speed.

Called into Bridgnorth on a damp Sunday, around lunchtime I was feeling peckish, I saw a board on the main street advertising a cafe down an alley, most of the meals are a fiver, I ordered lamb hotpot and a pot of tea, £6.30. Hotpot was very nice, good value, nice to see a more basic cafe, no flash adverts just good value food.

Came across this cafe by chance and very glad we decided to each here. For £5 each the dishes were lovely and the portions were great. The downstairs was busy so we sat upstairs. Staff were also friendly.

Habiendo alcanzado Bridgnorth en el Severn Valley Railway que estábamos listos para comer, así que caminamos hacia el centro de la ciudad. Simplemente caminar nos topamos con un a happenchanced calle animado pequeño cerrado' con este café por un lado con mesas afuera. El menú era 'ligeras' o torta de carne más sustancial y patatas fritas (que teníamos, y lo recomendaría altamente). El ambiente es de estilo café francés con comida inglesa. El personal era muy acogedor y el precio muy modesto.

Cafetería muy agradable para el almuerzo o un aperitivo. Nos apetecía salchichas, huevos y patatas fritas, que era excelente en 3 libras. 90. Factura total con un zumo y un café costaba £11! Encantador!

Tuvimos una comida agradable sentamos hace algunos años. Decidimos ir de nuevo hoy, pero no encontré el personal tan amable. Me dijeron que lo que pedimos no estaba en el menú, pero estaba en el tablero exterior. Así que tuvimos que elegir algo el hock y quedamos muy decepcionados.

We came across the Bakehouse cafe on our recent and first visit to Bridgnorth. What a find! Good range of choices on the menu and the specials board. A customer recommended the fish pie, which she'd just enjoyed, my husband chose that and was very pleased it had been recommended. I had the lasagne and I can honestly say that this was the best lasagne I've ever had! Everyone was friendly here, we felt very welcome and would absolutely return when next in this lovely part of the country.

Nice cafe in the centre of Bridgnorth.Good cup of tea and selection of cakes.We didn't stay for lunch, but there was a good choice on offer at reasonable prices.

My husband and I were having a mooch in bridgnorth and were getting hungry. We stumbled across the bakehouse cafe. Intrigued we decided to pop in. There are no toilet facilities and this is clearly signed but that didn't bother us. My husband had steak pie, New potatoes and veg and I had baked beans and cheese. There was seating upstairs so we found a table and ordered our food. We had a bit of a wait as they were so busy. No matter. It was worth the wait. My potato was the best I've had in a while. The cheese was tasty and sharp. My husbands meal was lovely. He thoroughly enjoyed it. It isn't overpriced either. It's not a massive place so it can get busy but honestly we'll be back here the next time we're in Bridgnorth.

Searched in the wet for a late lunch all main Street cafes were only serving cake,found this little gem tucked down an alley the cheapest lunch we have ever had and delicious. Recommend you search it out.

popped in for breakfast todaypleasent welcome and a nice decor,Menu is full of home made food and treats pudding wise.This little place makes a nice change from most of the high street chains so i would definatley visit again.

Love this no frills cafe. Really cheap and good wholesome home cooked food. The best faggots and at £5 great value and really filling

Have walked past this cafe for years but never ventured in, until a few months ago, and now it's one of our favourites. Yes it's basic, you order at the counter, you collect your own cutlery, there are no toilets, but when you are served excellent food, at an excellent value what more do you want? The menu is extensive to say the least, you can have chips with any combo you can think of, and the specials, well what can I say. Again another excellent choice at £5! With a Christmas dinner at £6, including crackers! The children's menu is the best I've seen. Sensible portions as sensible prices. This is a new favourite, where else can you eat fantastic food, at fantastic prices. Give it a try.

Hidden down an arcade to the side of the florists hides this warm and homely restaurant. Excellent value meals cooked to perfection. Seating upstairs and down as well as outside. 10 out 10.

Lovely atmosphere- greta choice of cakes and bakes, nice tea and coffee in a relaxing setting on the high street. Friendly staff and good vape

Found this lovely friendly cafe when looking for someone for lunch. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the food was really tasty and well presented. We were very surprised at the cost - almost half the price than most of the eateries. We will certainly go there for lunch again when visiting Bridgnorth. Well done The Bakehouse.

Looking for somewhere to have breakfast on Saturday morning we came across the Bakehouse. I had scrambled eggs on toast and the other half had a bacon and egg sandwich, both were lovely. We also had a cup of tea and a latte- couldn't fault those either. From the counter you can see into the kitchen and food prep area and it looked spotless. From the menu most of the lunchtime meals seem home made and indeed someone had fish and chips which looked lovely. Would definitely recommend.

Found this place by chance and have too say that it's a cracking little place. I had a homemade steak pie and it was the tastiest steak pie i have ever had and only £4.50. Please seek this place out if you ever visit Bridgnorth,you will not be.disappointed.

Found this great little cafe soon after arriving in the town to explore the sights. Being lunch time we ventured in and really could not have had better. The child's meal for my grandson was superb and excellent value. For once he cleaned his plate! The three adults had snacks but certainly no grumbles from us either. Good pot of tea afterwards. Nothing fancy, but very welcoming staff and good honest value for money. Would go again if ever in the area and no hesitation at recommending it to anyone.

A very friendly welcome, a cosy and quaint environment, a wide variety of food on the menu and the daily specials were more than special ... I had the Steak Pie and it was brilliant, fresh hot chips and a pile of peas. The wife had the fish pie and I really wish I had stolen hers, mine was great hers was brilliant

Was walking through Bridgnorth, not knowing the town, looking for someweher for lunch and saw teh Bakehouse Cafe.It is a very much "no frills" but the menu range is good with an additional list of "specials" and the prices are amazing. Probably about half of what I would pay where I live!The food was excellent. My jacket potato with chilli was good, hot and very tasty.Certainly worth visiting when hungry in Bridgnorth!

Visited today (Saturday) with my daughter for lunch.Small reasonably priced cafe situated in a quaint courtyard with upstairs seating area, that was closed whilst we were there.Usual cafe menu, but specials were on a board outside the cafe and only shown at the counter. These needed to be displayed on the tables for all to see.We both opted for the Brocolli & Cream Cheese Bake that comes with chips and peas. Really delicious.No toilet facilities.No payment by card.Staff friendly and service good.Would probably visit again.

Been to this café many times before, always had a good meal good service at a good price.We had a small breakfast and bacon and toms on toast, lovely, it can get busy so get there early

Stopped at the Bakehouse for Breakfast, ordered a large one as I was peckish, £4.95 I think it was, had two off everthing, could not eat any more till tea time, superb, go ,eat, and enjoy

On the 18th July 2015, I sat outside this café whilst my partner went inside to order coffee. Always, wherever we go, we ask for 2 black coffee's and a small jug of warm milk. The woman serving offered my partner either white coffee's from the machine or a jug of cold milk! He asked if she would heat the milk and she refused!! Can you believe that...... We did however find a lovely café called the Castle Tea Rooms not far from here and their service was superb! We had a snack and 2 black coffee's with a jug of hot milk. Bakehouse Café take note! Our £15 could so easily have been in your till had you not refused such a simple request.

Visited this cafe in Bridgnorth. Friendly staff. Small seating area. Excellent lunch. We had sandwiches which came with freshly made salad and crisps. Great value for money. Really impressed. Will certainly be returning. Only downfall is no toilet facilities. Well worth a visit.

I often stop for a coffee whist shopping in Bridgnorth. Always good service and value for money. Ideal place to meet friends.

We called in to Bridgnorth on our way home from Ludlow; the Café offered a good menu choice. We had the home made steak pie and scampi; both priced very reasonably. Food was cooked to order - a busy time - and we had to wait about 30 minutes; however, freshly cooked and very tasty portions made it worth waiting for. Café is tucked down an alley (name not known) off the main street. Recommended.
