We visited Bacchus to see if they could cater for our fairly small wedding. Chris was very welcoming and happy to sit and discuss our requirements. He came up with an affordable package for us and we agreed to go ahead. We ate at the restaurant beforehand and were really impressed with the great atmosphere and service. We provided Chris... More

In these days of so many "chain" restaurants seeming the same (menu and decor)it was fantastic to spend an evening out in a restaurant so unique with a nice atmosphere Really good service from all the friendly team who all seemed very happy to be at work! Even though a busy Saturday night our meals arrived quickly with a smile.... More

When I phoned to book afternoon tea I was given the time 12.30pm but was told that 2pm was a good time as there is a pianist playing, which my cousin would just love. When we turned up and asked why there was... More

The lovely Patrick and Maria looked after us throughout - and service was perfect and friendly. Food was tasty and fresh - well done . Would definitely recommend and most definitely return to...

I had to write a review. We were welcomed into this gorgeous place, even with my dog. We had to sit in the front section (which is totally understandable) and we were really treated nicely. My puppy even got offered a drink of water, which was lovely. We had a lovely afternoon tea too. Thank you!

Bacchus has a fabulous atmosphere, is full of creative treasures, glass and mirrors and is a pleasure to be in. The food is excellent as is the service.

We went to Bacchus for a birthday treat and as I hadn't seen inside this restaurant it was a pleasant surprise. It is much larger than you think, and is decorated in a kind of shabby chic style. Someone has got quite an eye for design here, although perhaps it is not to everyone's taste. The lighting is low, there... More
