Small but spectacular. Food is always hot and tasty. Service is great. They swap and change but in their menu to cater for our individual tastes too. What's not to like.

I’ve been coming to the baking room for over 4 years.. coffee, sandwiches and hot food all fresh and made to order. Magi the owner even caters for my personal needs by making food which I request and helps me track my food for my training. Service is always friendly and welcoming wether eating in or take away. I have my own business locally and have the baking room on my doorstep helps massively. If you’re after quality food, tasty, great coffee you appreciate quality and big portions then baking room is for you! Love it
