The Baytree Restaurant

At the Baytree Restaurant, you'll be able to enjoy a range of delicious dishes, from home classics such as fish and chips or sausage and mash, to lighter lunches like sandwiches and toasties.

But it's not just meals; you can also treat yourself to a freshly made barista-style coffee, complete with a slice of homemade cake or a cream scone.
