The Courtyard Coffee Shop - Bake180 — Restaurant in North Warwickshire

First time going there yesterday. I had no idea Middleton Hall existed and it's only been years that I've lived a 15 mins drive away! You live and learn. The coffee shop and surrounding courtyard are lovely. It was a warm day so nice to have somewhere to stop and have a break. They have a decent menu for savoury light bites and cakes. I had a lovely iced caffelatte, (I asked for one shot of espresso because I find the UK are apt at making very strong paint stripper-like coffees.) The one shot turned out perfectly, mild, rounded and refreshing. I also had a slice of Victoria sponge and the sponge was moist and the jam delicious within. My Dad had a fantastic freshly made sausage and egg sandwich. I found the food and drink to be really impressive and would defo recommend. I have some constructive criticism regarding the service though. There seemed to be at least four or five people on duty for a relatively quiet cafe (for the time we went.) My cake and drink were served straight away but they took a while with my Dad's sandwich so by the time the sandwich arrived I'd finished my food. I had to chase Dad's sandwich up and heard the woman I'd asked about it ask her colleague who I then heard say she'd do it now. This was not great considering the amount of staff they had and the fact the cafe was quite quiet. When the sandwich did come it was great. You have to help yourself to sauces and serviettes etc, but we had to find that out ourselves. It would have been nice to have been told that on buying the food. A little more training for staff seems to be required. Still, on the whole a good experience but next time I'll be making sure I don't eat until my Dad's stuff arrives. By the way, the chairs we found to be uncomfortable but have recently taken to taking our own cushions with us when we go to new places, which we were glad for yesterday as the chairs were too...

It is a great place as always. It is strange to eat a breakfast out of a box but they still made it very presentable and wrapped up the toast in insulated bags. They support the local economy and use local produce too. Prices are reasonable too. The lack of toilet facility was concerning as the volume of people in the courtyard on cycles eating out and brousing shops was significant as it was bank holiday. The manor was closed according to the signage except for pre booked visits. The one way system is not being adhered to despite ample signage in place by the venue. All has been done by the venue to keep you safe and they have really done a great job of safety pity visitors are being selfish and...

Called into Bake 180, which is situated in the courtyard of Middleton Hall, just outside Tamworth, yesterday just before lunchtime. We were surprised to find the cafe very busy with a huge number of cyclists as well as non-cyclists. We got served quite quickly and sat outside in the sun. My daughter had a white chocolate with waffle and lots of other things. I had my usual mocha and a vegan flapjack, (I'm not vegan) but absolutely loved the flapjack, moist with lots of "power" fruits. I loved the look of the menu and a lot of the cakes are home baked. If there may be a downside I thought it was not cheap, my bill was £9 odd, and also for reference card payments only over £5.00. Still...
