The Bay Cafe in Wychavon

First time since it changed hands it was good we had sandwiches my wife had tuna and I had a tandoori chicken sandwich it was really good it was massive I have had less chicken in a takeaway very impressed

Our first visit, very pleased with everything ..pleasant friendly staff , quick service, delicious food. I m vegan & my daughter is veggie & often the options offered are rather limited & uninspiring .... but here there was a good choice, our brunch bowls were absolutely lovely : original ,tasty & very generous portions! Thanks very much

Normally do their excellent breakfasts. Today we did lunch.Had Dirty fries.Food was absolutely wonderful. Service is fantastic.

Brilliant food , lovely staff with special thanks going too Gill and Hayley for making our birthday breakfast so great. Always so accommodating with us having our little one. Xxx

Sunday Morning breakfast. We arrived at 10am as the cafe was opening. Quite busy.Got a table very easily. Selected two classic breakfasts tea and coffee. Breakfast was absolutely wonderful. Bacon and sasuages were perfect.As was egg and beans and hash browns.Staff very friendly. Absolutely recommended 👍👍👍👍👍

Excellent breakfast to start the day. All served with a great tasting coffee by friendly staff. Lashfords sausages cooked to perfection.

Our first visit to the Bay. Very clean, great food (and reasonably priced) and very nice staff. Thank you, we will definitely be back.

The new managers Steve & Hayley have turned this place into a lovely place to visit. The staff are lovely, spacious seating, a separate dog area, great drinks, food looks amazing, cakes too, a great cuppa and the toast is super yummy You must give this place a try, and you won't be disappointed.

We've been here many a time and always enjoyed the food and good friendly service.. However all that changed today when we met the most rude and unwelcoming member of staff called Hailey who dismissed what we were saying and was very argumentative and extremely rude and dismissive to us. You no longer get our custom or deserve anyone else's... What a fall from grace and hope all the existing staff who were sacked or got rid of much luck in their new positions elsewhere

We visited for Cake and Tea. We were greeted by a nice young lady who explained all the different cakes without even being asked to. Like it. I normally go for a Victoria Sponge but they had none which turned out to be good for me as I chose a Mango Lime and Lemon Cake it was beautiful a huge slice and great tea. Will definitely come back. Love the set up too.

Trying to find somewhere with a decent gluten free lunch menu for two coeliacs I found this delightful cafe, I would highly recommend it. Huge portions, great gluten free chips, nice atmosphere, three types of cake and a garden centre to wander round afterwards! What’s not to like !

Dreadful service and no welcome. The chalkboard at the entrance to the cafe displayed a closing time of 4pm. My husband and I arrived at 3.40pm to be met with a young lady who met us half way across the cafe area saying "I'm sorry we are closed". We said that we just thought we would order a coffee and she simply repeated the same words to us. We went to pay for our plants at the till and suggested that, if they are actually closing at 3.40pm the cafe might like to adjust theit chalkboard accordingly. The explanation given was that they close well in advance so that they can close down the coffee machine. Should this not be done after closing time and not prior to it?

We had a lovely bite to eat here and it catered for gluten free too. There was a choice of 3 gluten free cakes and there were gluten free alternatives to some of the lunch options too. The omelette was lovely and fluffy and came with a big portion of beans and hash browns. The cinnamon bun with fresh cream is highly recommended too. There is a very wide range of menu choices with plenty of vegetarian options which suited us as a family of vegetarian and meat eaters. Very friendly and obliging staff and a very pleasant environment. We will definitely be going back

I've already reviewed this cafe, so you'll all know that it's a local Gem, but I wanted to mention the selection of cakes that the owner/chef makes on site. Gary keeps the display cabinet full of absolutely delicious range of cakes and bakes. These are a perfect companion to the coffee and teas prepared by the lovely team at Botany Bay Café. My wife and I recently tried Gary's Mango and Passion fruit cake and were absolutely delighted with the flavour and texture. Anyone visiting the Botany Bay Nursery should definitely take the time to treat themselves at the café.

My wife and I have been enjoying our Sunday breakfast here for over a year now. We keep coming back for the delicious food and brilliant service and it's now become a tradition for us and our family and friends (whom we've introduced to the delights of The Bay). The food is prepared by by a talented chef and served by a lovely team, who are always cheerful, professional and happy to help.

I never do reviews but the quality of the food is just first class. The Omelette and side salad are seriously the best I've ever had. The service is quick and the entire team are great. Steve

Lovely cafe, nice staff and great food. Portions are more than adequate. And tasted great My only disappointment was visiting in November this place was freezing and will only get worse as winter draws in. Unfortunately I will not be coming back during the colder months but would definitely visit again on the summer months

We went for lunch. We hadn't been here before so were unsure what to expect. My partner ordered the big breakfast, I ordered a jacket potato with tuna and sweetcorn. We were very pleasantly surprised. Very friendly service which was super speedy, even though they were virtually at capacity. The components of the breakfast were good quality and it was cooked well. The potato was cooked properly and had lots of real butter in it, there was a BIG pile of tuna and sweetcorn to add as required and the biggest side salad I've ever had. It had everything imaginable in it, even pomegranate, pineapple and asparagus plus two types of coleslaw. Good value for money. We would definitely recommend it and will be going again.

Which I think is vital. We had scissors to open the condiments, a first and very useful, but everything was in sachets which is slightly disappointing. All the standard things were nice bar the spread on the toast which was too margariney for me Good...

Every visit is a pleasure to come here. Prompt service with friendly welcoming staff, especially Alex. Food always well presented and the salad is what I call a salad, not just lettuce and tomato but pineapple, pomegranate, pasta, coleslaw, asparagus and more, and chefs home...

Beautifully cooked full English breakfast, very tasty and great quality. Served very quickly by very friendly and helpful staff, thank you!

What a joy to find a cafe open at such a time. Festive Sandwich and cappuccino, served by very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely come back.

Called in here for first time on way to holiday cottage. Excellent breakfast. Perfect egg, get sick of places giving me hard fried egg. Piping hot too. Just right.

Beautiful cafe inside the Botany Bay garden center Friendly staff genuinely happy to see you 🙂Clean tables and Covid safe. Best choice of Gluten Free options x

Went in expecting just another regular cafe - how wrong we were! Absolutely beautiful food, and the most varied salads I've ever had in my life - just fantastic! Such a good price, too! Thank you!

Went here with my friend today and I was really impressed. The decor was beautiful and very tasteful as well as being very homely. The 2 ladies that served us were so pleasant. We had a really lovely chat with them. Lovely atmosphere. It is...

Fantastic coffee and cake. Brilliant choice of home baked cakes. Ladies very friendly and helpful. They have made outside and inside beautiful and we're very organised to ensure social distancing. I had avocado and courgette cake AMAZING. Thanks ladies.

We went to the Botany Bay cafe on a recommendation. The full breakfast was almost £10. Poor quality sausages, bread not the freshest. Costs more than other breakfasts and not so good. Won’t be back for a breakfast.

Had a really big really tasty cooked breakfast at The Bay Cafe this morning. Served nice and hot without having to wait ages and by really friendly staff who could not have been more helpful. Looking forward to going back and having looked at the club sand which with fries that was being served as I was leaving, I know exactly what I am going to try next visit. It really is well worth a visit people.

This cafe is amazing, it always looks so beautiful! The decorations are always so cute and the staff always put so much effort into the cafe looking great! Me and my partner had a bay breakfast and it was the best thing ever! We love this place and will always come here for food and coffee.

We have continued to visit The Bay Cafe on a regular basis over the past 18 months, and whilst some establishments may initially go all out to impress and satisfy, it is clear that the standards, quality, service, food and overall friendly welcome is normal within those walls. The staff have remained warm and friendly, and the food (and amazing cakes) have stayed up there with the best fare we have known.At the risk of sounding like a broken record (or that I have shares in the business), it remains a place of enjoyment for our family, somewhere to sit and eat good food, whilst spending time in the company of people who really care about our experience, going above and far beyond what might be considered normal. To coin a phrase... a little 'Gem' of a place. :-)Long may our friends at The Bay Cafe remain, and long will we continue to visit.

Have enjoyed a lovely lunch today. Always impressed with friendly staff and lovely clean surroundings. Haven’t been able to visit for a while due to an operation but it was well worth the wait! Cakes to die for too!

Visited today with a friend and thought I’d try something new, thoroughly recommend the Club sandwich, very generous portions and fabulous service as always! Absolutely loving the Xmas decorations 🎄🤗🎄 Well worth a visit - a very homely place to eat and very attentive staff.

Visited here yesterday with a friend and first impressions were underwhelming but thought well we had heard some people say it was ok . Ordered two tea cakes and two teas.Teas cakes arrived already spread with margarine and mine came with something green in it. Gave it back to staff member and she said it was probably parsley? She would take it out the “him”. Another lady brought me another one and told me he said it was parsley! Now am being stupid here but no explanation as to why parsley would be in a tea cake . No apology so will not be going again. Place looked like it needed a good deep clean. Not impressed.

What a lovely place, and what lovely people. Everything about the Bay Cafe is special. The atmosphere, the staff, the food, the cakes, the coffee, and they even have our favourite tea. Beautifully decorated, quirky, colourful, welcoming, just an all round must go back for more kinda experience.

The Bay Cafe is situated within Botany Bay Nursery. The food is excellent and very good value. We visit on a regular basis and are always greeted with a friendly welcome by Debbie and Gary. I cam really recommend the breakfast, I can guarantee you won't need anything else to eat till tea time.

We visited twice: once for tea and a scone and later for lunch. They only had already made up scones with cream and jam, but the one I had was delicious. For lunch we had smoked salmon and salad, and scrambled eggs on toast with some bacon - both were very well presented and good. Decent sized large teapot for two and relatively inexpensive.Several walking paths nearby including one that leads right through the nursery to the front door.

This is an absolutely fabulous cafe which I have visited a couple of times now with this being my third visit. Despite this I was recognised and welcomed and just goes to show how much they value their customers. The cafe is particularly bike friendly as it has secure outside seating area that can only be accessed through the cafe so you are reassured that your expensive bikes are safe, they're also happy to have lots of bikers. Food is always fabulous and this visit did not disappointed. Had a HUGE hot dog with onions and a cake each, I went for the scone. Lovely hot chocolate as well. I'll be back and will recommend to everyone I know.

Lovely food, fairly priced as portions are generous, friendly staff. Dogs allowed. Will definitely visit again.

What a brilliant place for breakfast/dinner tea and chat. Never sat outside before and unsure if its new but its a great place to while away a few moments with friends. Delivery lorries were a pain but there you are got to get bits in. Seems to have been a few changes but the excellent quality of service a food has been maintained. Cakes to die for and eggs Benedict is fantastic. Was a little concerned last time that i couldn't pay by contactless but no problem now.

We noticed a cafe advertised on the Botany Bay Nursery sign on our way to Morton Hall Tulip Festival. On the way back we stopped for lunch.

Looking for somewhere different and this place fitted the bill, really nice well kept garden centre with this cafe incorporated. Really friendly staff and the breakfast was lovely - 2 full English and one eggs Benedict and couldn't fault any of them.

Nice dog friendly cafe inside a garden centre. Good home cooked food and lovely staff. Wish the chairs had some cushioning they are hard and dont encourage lingering.

We came here for Mother’s Day. The staff were extremely helpful especially with gluten/dairy intolerances. They didn’t make you feel a nuisance at all. Went above and beyond and the food was really good value for money. Huge portions! Will be back!

As keen gardening fans, a cuppa is a must. We visit The Bay Cafe at Botany Bay nursey, not just for a cuppa but as much as we can eat. The coffee is really tasty & barista style. On this occasion, we had a full breakfast & I had a steak, mushrooms, onions baguette with salad & chips on the side. Portions are extremely satisfying, always tasty & well presented. Staff are very friendly & welcoming. We have eaten there on many a nursery trip. We have also dropped in for coffee & cake, homemade cake...how often do you find homemade cake? Cakes are always fresh & gorgeous on the tongue & the eyes. This place is a gem, don't pass it by

Late find for us since we have lived in the village 10 years. Love the Bay cafe - great lunch destination - salads, sandwiches, cakes. Dog friendly & a great range of gluten free options. We have become regulars

Cafe isn't a worthy title for this restaurant. Living close its a blessing to pop in with my dog Max and have breakfast or dinner. Eggs Benedict again today and it's the best i have anywhere. Their Bay full English is also brilliant.

we were only looking for a quick snack but when we saw the meals we decided to have one there was only 1 gammon left so I had the steak,mushroom and onion baggette it was great it came with chips and salad my wife had the gammon which was equally as good nice place nice staff reasonable prices will be back

The Bay cafe has new managers and the chef certainly can cook. The omlettes are delicious, the salad superb and the home cured ham is brilliant. Just keep me away from the cakes- far too tempting. The service is good and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.

Botany Bar cafe has new owners and clearly a new chef. Eggs Benedict was so good. Good service griendly atmosphere and now dog friendly. Cracking place

Great little cafe with good quality food and good coffee. Friendly relaxed and lovely gift ideas. Great Christmas shop and beautiful plants.

This small café in Botany Bay Garden Centre is absolutely great. I have now visited 3 times in 2 months and on each occasion the food has been excellent. Friendly staff, good prices, varied choice of menu.

Called in for tea and cake with my mum and children. The staff were miserable and kept asking me what else I wanted to order whilst I was still talking to my children asking them what they wanted. The choice of cakes was not very child friendly. My mum had a lemon drizzle which was just plain sponge with lemon curd in the middle, no sign of it ever having been drizzled. The children ended up sharing a bag of goodies which was made up of Tesco bite size flapjack, chocolate crispie bites, cookie, etc. Are you allowed to sell Tesco products as your own? I'm not sure. I've visited a few times since the new management to over and have been disappointed by the cakes every time. Won't be eating there again. Tea was ok....you can't really get that wrong though.

My friend and I went for a quick lunch thought we would try out the cafe, we both had the same which were ham salad sandwiches, the description of the ham was hand cut home cured ham, I couldn’t fault the sandwich if I’d ordered a salad sandwich it was full of salad but the ham was obviously packet ham really thinly cut and with the amount of salad in the sandwich you couldn’t taste it at all, very disappointing, not like the description at all! The only flavour you really could taste is the chunky red onion! It came with more salad and a few crisps, I think if your offering crisps with any sandwich they need to compliment the sandwich and just be plain! These were a weird flavour with a prawn cocktail taste! I’ve been before and have had nice food just disappointed this time!

I love this cafe, the service, environment, food and lovely atmosphere is amazing. The fresh cakes make my day! Couldn’t recommend this cafe more :)

I always pop in here whilst visiting the garden centre,I ordered a filter coffee and toasted tea cake,20 minutes later having drunk my coffee I approached the counter,no staff were visible and 3 other customers were waiting,I asked where my tea cake was and showed my empty cup,I wax given a fresh coffee and within a few minutes my food arrived,during which the owner/manager approached me to say she had checked my tab and I hadn't ordered a tea cake.i assured her I had and had paid £4 for both.obviously it had not been put on their chit.i have experienced a lengthy wait on previous occasions.please please sort out this problem,I am reluctant to visit again but if I do I will ensure my order has been placed and will ask that my coffee arrives after my food,it's always cold whilst waiting for food.

We hate motorway service areas and always break our journies at a garden centre with a cafe. As you can have a leisurely walk around the plants ( inevitably buying one) visit the loos, have a chat and a snack in pleasant surroundings.

Highly recommend the cafe, under new management. The cakes are really nice and a good price. Will visit again.

First time visiting this Café. Very easy going and can have a laugh with the staff. Ordered tea and coffee which tasted perfect as im a sucker for coffee. The food was perfect and the service was very fast! Would highly recommend!

My husband and I called here for lunch in early June and we were not disappointed!

Recently under new management, The Bay Cafe nestles within the grounds of a well stocked garden centre just on the southern outskirts of Redditch, near Astwood Bank.

Headed out on the road bike this morning and decided this cafe would be my halfway stop spot having read the trip advisor reviews. Had a lovely hot chocolate and a nice fresh cream Belgian Bun. Cafe was nice and quiet being about 11am, unfortunately for me the outside seats were damp and I didn't think about the rain overnight so ended up with a slightly damp bum. The food and drink were lovely and I'll definitely be back for something more substantial. Custom service was fab and very friendly and helpful. I think the only suggestion I'd give, would be to be able to access the cafe without going through the garden centre. As a cyclist always looking for somewhere nice to stop it would be perfect if you could access the outside seating from the outside, lean up the bikes and then stick our head into the counter to order and then return to my bike. It was fine today as the centre and cafe was quiet but at busier times I can imagine it would be a bit difficult to get through and there's no way I'm leaving my bike unattended. Again this is only a suggestion and wouldn't put me off returning!

What a great find, after a morning at a plant sale and losing our way home came across Botany Bay Garden Centre a favourite of ours

made to feel welcome ,tables cleared and clean .the coffee was so good had two.will also return for a breakfast it looked fantastic.to top this staff v/friendly and cheerful .

Lovely breakfast with friendly and attentive staff. Very accommodating of my gluten free diet and served me gluten free toast with my breakfast. I look forward to eating there again soon.

Fancied somewhere different for breakfast. Food was served quickly and to a good standard. Currently going through a transition period of making changes I would happily return

Visited on recommendation from a friend. Pleasant cafe with a selection of tables to choose from. Our order was taken at the till and promptly brought over to our table. Good cappuccino and latte. Cakes looked very tempting!

The food here is second to none, everything is freshly prepared to order, apart from the amazing cakes from the counter - these are however also made on site. If you order hot food then that's what you get, there is none of the meals sitting around cooling of before being served, this is one place that forces you to take your time with the meal, you physically can't eat it when it's bought to your table until it has cooled. Top service every time we have visited, and we have never has reason to complain. The prices are excellent, the portions are generous and its definitely worth the wait while your food is prepared. In some ways I regret putting this on here, the place is only small, and now many more will know about it, but it deserves to be shouted from the rooftops, go and enjoy it!

On a cold Sunday we visited Botany Bay tea rooms to check it out.

Lovely place with really friendly staff. Great food every time - cakes are delicious, sandwiches are delicious and coffee is perfect.

Popped in midweek for a quick coffee and cake and really enjoyed it. It has a lovely feel to the place. Service was good. Recommended

We arrived at 12.45pm a week last Friday and it took just over 30 minutes for the food to be served. Very tasty, generous portions. Staff friendly.

I visited the Bay today with my mum after she recommended the food, so we thought we would go for lunch.

Amazing Menu! Beautiful, tasty REAL food. Staff are fantastic and always happy to see you. Forget Costas/Starbucks, The Bay Cafes coffee is second to none throughout Redditch (with the option to takeaway!) ☺️ Oh and the cakes - just WOW!!

Have been going to the Bay Café since they opened over 12 months ago. Usually go for a Saturday morning brunch which is always cooked to order and sourced from local suppliers. The staff are pleasant, friendly and welcoming. I can also recommend their afternoon tea which was delicious particularly Millie's homemade cakes and scones.

The atmosphere and friendly service here makes this place a winner..then of course you have their delicious home made cakes and pastries plus must be what is the best omelettes in the area ..Breakfast is a must here...Breakfast ..Lunch..or Just a cup of

So happy when this cafe opened! We've been going to the garden centre for many years but now Bay Cafe has opened we can't stay away. It's well worth the 2 mile walk for a brew or to have breakfast! I am quite fussy about my coffee too and can't fault it here. All the staff are really friendly and happy to sort things so they are just as you like! Extra butter, extra sauce, extra shot! Looking forward to our next visit!

Called in with my sister in law on the way home from Worcs Hospital. This was just what the doctor ordered!

The café is under separate ownership and complements the garden centre well. The three of us on this outing enjoyed a light lunch of omelette, jacket potato, and goujons, followed by the delicious local Churchfields ice cream. Take a drive through the lanes of Warwickshire and search out Bay Café and the garden centre.

We had an excellent lunch with cappuccino's. the food is freshly cooked and was served hot . We only had to wait about 10 minutes for it to come. The menu is very varied and it can be 'changed' to suit your needs. The safe are friendly and very helpful.

Can't fault the quality of the food, just a shame about the attitude of one of the staff. A disappointing customer service experience.

Thanks to John And Millie and their staff for another lovely, allergy friendly lunch. Great, friendly service as always. Would happily recommend The Bay Cafe to family and friends.

I've just enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the Bay Cafe with the best scrambled eggs ever! Excellent service and lovely location!

Tried for the 1st time today. Cafe looked nice and menu really good. Waited 45 minutes for our sandwiches and both ended up leaving most of it! All we could taste was grease! The 'toasted' bread tasted deep fried and the chips were really lovely and chunky but when you bit into them it was all fat and no potato. When I went to pay I was asked how the food was, I said "I'm afraid we left most of it as it was so greasy", we got a "sorry to hear that" but still charged £18 full price. Won't return or recommend.

A cracking hidden gem of a cafe perfect for a well cooked breakfast & a good cup of coffee. Food is freshly baked and tastes superb. Customer service is excellent.

Visited today & 100% impressed with garden centre & cafe. In all we had contact with 5 members of staff from both the plant area & the cafe, all of whom were refreshingly knowledgeable, helpful & friendly.

We have visited the Bay Café several times and always found the food and service really good. John and Milly always make us very welcome and are happy to make any small changes to our meal requirements to make our stay even more pleasant, not that many changes are needed as the food is always delicious as it is!

Visited with my sister as she wanted a cactus!!

What a wonderful little gem to have locally! We've been lots recently for brunch/lunch at weekends with and without kids. The atmosphere is lovely, the staff super friendly and the food simply amazing. All freshly made and locally sourced and you can taste it! We will be back soon for sure!

This was the 1st time off been to the cafe and I found all the Staff were very helpful, polite smartly dressed and seemed to be happy in there job.

Lovely walk around the garden centre followed by a pot of tea in the new cafe. Great idea. Staff friendly and efficient.

New cafe - great idea. Popped in for pot of tea earlier. Friendly efficient staff. Bacon butty and sausage sarnie mmmmmm!

Fabulous afternoon tea enjoyed by 4 generations on our large family table today celebrating Mother's Day. Food was fresh very generous with a wonderful selection of sandwiches and yummy cakes. Very impressed with the presentation and the service was excellent. Relaxed and friendly environment we will definitely be returning soon.
