Gin & Bake by Coffi Co

Its food festival in the bay ,
Just wanted some drink and cakes
It looks amazing from outside.
We ordered Americano and earl grey tea.
The cake looks pretty,taste ok.
The coffee is nice in small cup.
Disappointed about the tea ,
It says in a pot ,but came with a cup ?
Then we asked the waiter,she said she will changed it .
Yes she did with another tea pot.
Not impressed with the pot at all!

Booked well in advance and were looking forward to our visit, arrived to be told there was a hen party of 38 due after us, moment they arrived we had to move tables to accommodate them, and were ignored by staff as they were so busy looking after them. Poor choices of gin and hardly any cake options so all in all not what we had hoped for. For the cost not worth the visit. Spoons across the way have better gin that is cheaper and quicker service!

Staff was very nice and the place is nicely decorated. We arrived at 9:30 when the restaurant opened and as we were being seated the tables were dirty, but we looked past this because the staff was quick to fix it. Our disappointment began when the coffee tasted super burned and we couldn’t even finish it, the food service was super fast which surprised us but we quickly realised that the food was tasteless and not cooked properly. For reference we ordered some smashed avocado on toast, there was almost no avocado (very bland) and the bread was not even toasted. We believe these are things that can be improved but unfortunately it leave a very bad impression on us and we left extremely disappointed. Not worth the £28

When the food finally arrived it was tasty, but we waited almost half an hour for a drink and over an hour for our food. With 3 hungry children this was testing and there was no suggestion when we arrived that there was a delay. When the food did come we were told that one of the dishes we had ordered wasn't available, again no feedback on this at the point of ordering. Curtis tried to fix the situation, credit to him. Three senior management members sat throughout most of this on the table next to us, with their food and drink served, leaving the more junior team members to face the unhappy customers. Poor show from them. We won't return, despite the credit on the bill. Also, milkshakes served in disposable plastic cups even though we were eating in seems really wasteful.

The tapas was fast and fresh, the deserts were amazing and the staff and atmosphere were great.
Only thing I'm not sold on is the app service. It just feels like it's there for the sake of it and it's not the same level of interaction I'd be getting from table service.

Good couple of hours in the gin garden at Gin & Bake, nice atmosphere in the evening with the music turned high and all seats taken. Great range of gin, all well garnished but not cheap, a large G&T will set you back anything from £10-£20. I always think that in gin bars a standard measure should be 50ml and not priced as a 25ml. Plenty of tapas choice which was really well cooked and fairly priced. Plenty of other spirits, fizz and cocktails for those who don't like gin. Popular place so book ahead.

Their mocktails were amazing and worth the price but the food was good but not upto the mark and bit pricey for the quantity they provide.

I was taken here as a birthday gift on 10.8.21 and would just like to feedback how disappointed we both were with the whole experience. After hearing how much it cost for what we got I was appalled. £32 each for one cocktail we didn’t get to choose, 2 finger sandwiches (one plain thick ham and the other standard cream cheese) and a tiny wrap each along with some dodgy salmon on a cracker (see photo) that when we complained about, all we were told was ‘oh I’ll feed that back to the chef’ with no real apology or solution. Also during this conversation it was mentioned that they put tea cups and saucers on the table ‘in case we wanted a cup of tea’, but during our entire visit we were never even asked, and this was definitely not made clear. Though this may have been due to the fact that not one host came to check in with us until they came to clear away the dishes. Whilst the scones and deserts were lovely they didn’t warrant the extortionate charge, as they were all bite sized and clearly not freshly made. Overall there would have been more food in a children’s lunch box yet they’re charging £32 a head for it. And when we mentioned this to our server his response was ‘oh everyone says that’ so it isn’t just a one off problem.

I just wanted to voice my opinion for what is an amazing idea, but has really poor execution and would warn anyone to think twice before spending such an amount on this.
