Cafe at Guildhall, Bath.

Having spent the morning walking around the World Heritage City searching for a job I soon realised that I was starving and in need of dead pig. I knew of a cafe in the city called the hub, whose review shall appear on here in the coming months, but I remembered that they charged world heritage prices and so resolved to find a proper greasy spoon. My wife suggested the Guildhall, once inside I knew she was right, we spotted a cafe, with a small queue, at the front of which were several gruff, burly types wearing hi-visibility jackets. This was the place.

The Review
For all the build up the sandwich was poor. The Hi-vis wearers of Bath deserve better than this.

The break-down, scored out of a maximum of five.
Order placed

Bacon sandwich please. To take out.
Bread
Two slices of white bread. Soft. (3)
Spread
I asked for it to be buttered, but her expression told me that it would have been anyway. (4)
Bacon
two or three rashers, pink. Some fat left on and equally rarely cooked. (1)
Sauce
Offered but not for my own application. None taken. (2)
Salinity and flavour
Fine. (3)
Price
£2.40. I would have paid no more than £1.50. (1)
Drinks offered
usual cafe fare (3)

Overall rating for the cafe at Guildhall, Bath - 2.4 out of 5
