Welcome to the great escape
BANK HOUSE CAFE -in its handsome Georgian house on the mediaeval square in the heart of the small Somerset town of Axbridge- is the perfect place to escape. It can be for just fifteen minutes, stolen from a busy day, with coffee and cake. It can be a rewarding interlude after tramping, cycling or driving through the wonderful surrounding landscape, where the limestone Mendup Hills meet the peat-filled Somerset Levels. It can be a relaxed lunch or dinner, with inventively prepared food, made mostly from local produce. And, if the weather is right, you can make an even greater escape into our walled Secret Garden, complete with a mill stream running through. Bank House Cafe was described by The Times as one of 50 great places in Britain to eat and drink outdoors.

We are delighted to say that Bank House Cafe's growing reputation has recently been boosted by a Taste of the West Gold Award in the café/tearoom category. This trumps the Silver Award we received in 2007, our first year of business.

Bank House Cafe is also becoming an increasingly popular venue for celebrations. When Tina and friends chose Bank House Cafe as the place to celebrate a significant birthday they chose to wear their wedding dresses for the occasion. None of our other guests have gone that far. As far as we are concerned, a T-shirt and jeans will do just as well, although we do like it when our guests wear a smile.
