Headquarters Cafe & Bar

This cafe is very popular with passing cyclists so there are lots of signs telling them where not to park their bikes! It's quite a large bare space so lots of artworks are on show, a nice touch. Our cabinet food was tasty and the coffee good.

Lovely young woman who served us- cheerful and friendly. Great sausage roll as they use proper sausage meat instead of the usual “ breaded” sort that you end up with, the pastry is also very well done and I loved the tomato relish that comes with it( apparently all homemade). The cheese rolls probably could be improved with addition of onion but I suppose they are the Brightwater version of the southern cheese rolls which I adore. Lovely respite in Brightwater from the drizzly rain on the Great Taste Trail, at pleasant outdoor seating.
