Bread Bowl Bistro Cafe

Bread Bowl Bistro Cafe is a family-run independent bistro that serves up a distinct menu centred around freshly baked bread rolls hollowed out to hold hot fillings. The house speciality is their signature bread bowl soups, which are homemade, gluten-free, and come with the removed bread on the side for dipping. You can get these 6-inch crusty bowls filled with options like beef stew, chicken and vegetable soup, or a regular vegetable broth. If you fancy something different to start the day, they also prepare a full selection of morning dishes, including a traditional full English breakfast, alongside various bagels and baps.

When it comes to the extra bits, you can drop in just for a barista coffee, a glass of wine, or a selection of cakes and pastries. The seating is spread across two levels inside a listed building, featuring tables downstairs as well as up in the rafters, plus an outdoor courtyard area if you prefer to sit outside. In terms of practical facilities, the venue provides free Wi-Fi and upgraded restrooms for customers. They also host regular evening events like live local music and quiz nights, and they offer a convenient takeaway service if you need to grab your food on the move.
