Great relaxed place to have some food and refreshments. My friend has a list of intolerances as long as your arm including onions and tomatoes and James took it all in and made her a fantastic meal off menu.

Lovely food. Service is a bit slow but I don't really care cos this is somewhere you want to chill for a while in.

Inclusion day centre have recently started coming here with the people we support (who have Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities). Our guys absolutely love it there and the staff team at James’ Bistro couldn’t be more attentive and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and our mess, noise and general chaos is welcomed with a smile. Many places could learn from these guys regarding inclusion. Thank you all and we’ll be regular visitors! 😁

Fantastic little place to go for lunch. I went with 8 friends and we all had a brilliant time - the food was tremendous at a brilliant price.

I held my birthday party in James's Bistro and I highly recommend James and staff and the venue. They produced a lovely finger buffet at a very reasonable price and their service was brilliant. We were able to bring in a dj and have live music as sound system available - and space to dance. Its such a lovely cafe too - I will definitely be visiting again 😊

What a hidden Gem! Tucked away behind the hustle and bustle of the Highcross shopping centre is this charming bistro filled with beautiful artwork, soulful music and the aroma of delicious food. My wife is vegetarian and we struggle to find somewhere special to eat that can accommodate both of our needs without a 'token' vegan or vegetarian option. This was most definitely not the case here as the choices were as endless as they were delicious. Staff were friendly and accommodating and the chef even found time to come and ask if we were enjoying our meal. Not just a fantastic meal but a delightful experience. Very highly recommended!
