BAP — Restaurant in Trafford

Why have I passed this darling little brunch spot every time I’ve been in Altrincham?! I am grieving the amount of brilliant sandwiches I have missed out on in my days. If you get a chance, PLEASE EAT HERE. A menu so descriptive and extensive that I had to take a step back to take in all the options. Once I chose my bap, which was assisted by the lovely workers helping me out with the menu options, i was swiftly shown the process of making the sandwich and promptly sent on my way with my delicious plate of food. When I say this sandwich is the best sandwich I have ever had in my entire life, you have got to believe me. The meats were flavourful but not artificial tasting (like SOME chain sandwich makers), the vegetables were so fresh I wouldn’t be surprised if they had just been plucked from the earth, washed off and then put in my bap. They added the perfect amount of sauce so it didn’t feel as if I was drinking my sandwich. Then to top it off I got a nice bag of crisps and a can of pop and sat down. The holy angels sang in a unison as I took my first bite. I felt like that one scene from Disney’s Ratatouille where the food critic takes a bite of Remi’s food. Long story short, EAT HERE AT ANY CHANCE YOU CAN!!! Edit: I got everything for £7.50, with a meal deal option and extra filling in my sandwich which I payed more for. Makes the food taste even better when you’re not paying an arm and...

So disappointed with how downhill bap has gone - used to love coming in when I was younger, years ago the guy who ran it was great and the food quality seemed to be better! I took my boyfriend with me today, I ordered a medium baguette - sadly it was just a sub rather than the actual baguettes they used to do! Half of the sub was hard (but not completely stale) and seemed to be dry and crumbly. My boyfriend ordered a panini which was just a grilled baguette & was incredibly messy to eat - had to ask for some cutlery in the end! He also asked for a side salad, which unfortunately the staff completely forgot to do. On top of our food we just asked for 2 tap waters with ice due to the heat - these were served in dirty mugs. For both of our lunches I paid £12 which definitely isn’t worth it! Aside from this, the staff did seem cheery, and I’d say that bap is probably best suited for a hot drink & cake/cookie, but I definitely wouldn’t advise people to get the food - nor would I recommend bap to anyone, especially when Altrincham is now booming with other cafes that seem to serve far...

(To bap reply I WASN'T on about END bits please re-read) Although very tasty and nice. Loose 3 stars for the waste of food. If you order a medium size they grab the FULL size bread and CUT OFF few inches and BIN the rest. It's NOT even the end bits (which they already cut off anyway) it's 2 to 4 inches of decent bread chucked in the rubbish along with paper towels and plastic wraps. All of us were shocked to see this and won't go back anytime soon (update to baps reply: if you read my review you'll see its NOT on about the end bits they were already off the breads. My point is all the bread stored/baked is SAME size but if you don't order the biggest size they cut off More of the bread making it down to size and throw it all away THATS my issue here if you order smallest size 6 INCHES bread is cut...
