The ideal lunch stop after antique hunting on Tarrant St, the Bay Tree serves up expertly prepared dishes in a pleasingly simple setting with just varnished oak tables and the odd objet d’art to distract you from your food. Pastas, burgers, risottos and dishes large and small inhabit the menu, as does a highly recommended full English breakfast.
