The Bach

The Bach (pronounced “batch”) takes its name from a type of Kiwi holiday home, reflected in its laid-back vibe and made-from-scratch menu. “We created something that we would want to walk into, based on the sort of food and experiences we had growing up in New Zealand,” says Stewart. “We spend a lot of time in the kitchen, tasting things.” Also of note: coffee made by real humans. “We’re coffee snobs,” says Stewart. “£20,000 espresso machines are great at getting coffee out the door fast, but the art and subtlety of making coffee have been lost. We offer people a different experience – handmade coffee from Scottish roasters, the kind you wouldn’t normally make at home.”
