We’re delighted to introduce Bavette. A neighbourhood bistro filled with warm engaging hospitality, with a menu of seasonally led classically driven dishes.

We hope to get that balance of generosity and quality right - that juxtaposition of every day special.

Bavette is a love letter to our favourite places we’ve been to and been lucky enough to be a part of.

Sandy Jarvis and Clément Cousin.

    Another fabulous visit to Bavette. After last-minute cancellation meant a table became available, we seized the chance and booked dinner. As always, the food was excellent, the wine paired perfectly, and the service was at a nice pace to enjoy the evening. The staff are attentive but not overbearing, and the overall setting is wonderful. This was our last visit of 2024, and we are looking forward to our first visit of 2025!

    Service was outstanding, great balance of formality, respect, attentive but friendly and welcoming. Food was of an excellent standard, typical of a French bistro. Wine selection was very good but expensive which is to be expected. Wonderful experience.

    Went for a birthday treat after hearing good things. We weren’t disappointed at all. Welcoming, relaxed and very friendly from start to finish. Superb service. The food. The food was absolutely delicious. Sensible portions and my fish was beautifully cooked. I would wholeheartedly recommend. Many thanks.
