This time last year GTN Xtra joined the Baytree Garden Centre team on their visit to Lunch!. Next week they open their new coffee shop in the main building, complimenting the existing Hop In Restaurant.
"Lunch! gave us the impetus to move forward on the project that had been discussed and dismissed by the family for a number of years." General Manager Nigel Wallis told GTN Xtra. From the show, Elke (the youngest of Rheinhards daughters) trialled a cookie baking and sales excercise in the main shop during the Christmas period and the success of that trial led to the decison to add a full size coffee shop this autumn.
Coffees, teas, pannini's, pancakes, bake off pastries and of course freshly baked pastries will be the initial offering, allowing customers who just want a coffee and a light bite to aviod the restaurant queues.
This year the Baytree team won't be attending Lunch!, they will be too busy adding the finishing touches for their opening next Saturday. They will be reading next weeks GTN Xtra for our coverage of the show. If you're going to Lunch! and want to meet up with us, e-mail Trevor or call 07973 504214. trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk
