We’re home.

What a weekend.

Thank you to everyone who has already come through the doors and made our new living room feel properly lived in.

And now, we’re open.

A neighbourhood living room.
Serving flat whites at 10am

Come early. Stay late.

Sundays are for doing very little.

A coffee. A catch-up. Another coffee.

Maybe staying longer than you planned.

We fully support this behaviour. by @barkandbiteuk

Meet Kaz.

Our manager, menu mastermind and the reason we're usually thinking about Christmas while everyone else is still ordering summer cocktails.

She's caring, creative, absolutely hilarious and somehow always a season ahead of the rest of us.

If you've enjoyed one of our cocktails, chances are Kaz has had something to do with it.

She's rather good at what she does.

Just don't tell her we said that. by @barkandbiteuk

One drink? Absolutely.

Will it stay at one? That's between you and your calendar.

Cocktails, good company, and absolutely no pressure to be anywhere else.

IT'S OCTOBER.

So naturally, we're talking about Christmas.

We're teaming up with Blossom & Bloom for two evenings of wreath-making, mulled wine and pretending we're all incredibly crafty.

THURSDAY 26 NOVEMBER
THURSDAY 3 DECEMBER
6:30PM

You bring yourself. They'll bring the know how. We'll provide the festive encouragement.

Spaces are limited, so get yourself booked in.

Head to the WHAT'S ON page on our website to book your place. Link in bio.

Eight weeks in. Still recovering.

At 2am on Sunday 28th June, we closed the doors on Blind Tiger.

By late morning, we were back inside ripping the place apart. Sensible Sunday plans.

After two weeks of building work on the ceiling, we had roughly four weeks to turn what was left into Bark + Bite. While also running a pop-up at @catspjscoffee
Because apparently we didn't have enough to do.

And when we say we built this place, we really mean it.

Our landlords helped with the demolition. Mum volunteered for upholstery duties. My cousin joined the final push. Our electrician of over ten years even roped his son into the late nights.

There were plenty of 2am and 3am finishes, a delayed opening, and probably more sawdust than anyone should reasonably inhale.

Eight weeks later, we're open, the dust has settled (mostly), and we're absolutely exhausted.

But we built ourselves a living room. And now you're all making yourselves at home.

Worth every late night.
