The Bag and Bean is hidden away behind the "Love It" gallery. With an option to sit inside or outside, but still under cover, makes for a pleasant dining experience regardless of the weather. Staff are attentive and pleasant without being overly familiar and service is quick and efficient. The menu is small but ample, with the usuals (sandwiches, Baked potato, salads, soup) but be sure to check out the specials. If you're an early bird, breakfast is available until 11am and as well as the standard of Bacon etc, you can also go American, with pancakes or waffles. For those of you who like a no nonsense breakfast, they also do porridge. There's a smaller menu for the little people. Tea is served by the pot and is loose leaf. A range of coffees are available too.
Well behaved dogs are welcome.
Wheelchair accessible, accept cash or card.
Afternoon tea is available, but needs to be...

I urge you to visit and take in the whole experience its our catch up corner and never...

After taking my coat off and chatting for a few minutes, my friend said my cream shirt had marks on it- upon further inspection it was apparent when I leant onto our table there was what I can only describe as chocolate sauce, maybe from a dessert. When the waitress brought our food, I asked if she could clean the table, stating that my shirt had stains on it from the remnants of the previous diners,which she did , just wiped it down with no apology whatsoever, and walked off. Quite disappointing for my first...
