First time visiting, won't be the last, lovely relaxed atmosphere went coming in, very helpful staff, and the food is fantastic and the best thing is that you have an extensive Vegan menu, not many places do this, will definitely be recommending you to my

Decided to go to this establishment for food , very disappointed , after driving 40min to get there , 15min more round & round laps of the the town to get the car parked , got the kids out the car & ready for food , in the door @4:08pm to be informed by the quite pleasant staff member , the kitchen closes from 4pm to 5pm for some incomprehensible reason . I don't understand why this would be necessary to close the kitchen for one hour & to refuse custom for hot food in a fully staffed restaurant for 1hr every day . It simply makes no sense & looking at the reviews I'm not the only person to have been disappointed & commented on this subject in a review. For the record if this has happened to you I can highly recommend Safari Restaurant across the road does an excellent 2 course early bird deal from 4-6 was delicious. Doubt I'll be back to try Blend Batch anytime soon ,

Very disappointed in this place, no point in posting a detailed review as whoever runs the social media likes to chastise & belittle customers , all I'll say is Google doesn't have a separate place for kitchen opening hours as nobody with any common sense closes their fully staffed kitchen for an hour a day just before tea time to give their kitchen staff a little rest mid their outrageously long 8 HR day (poor them I wish I only had to work 8hr shift with a wee 1hr paid break) Never the less there will be some long winded & unfunny response to this review by B&B .Parking: No parking available nearby

Cannot pass this place anytime I am near Banbridge. Staff are always lovely and food is amazing too. No wonder it’s always busy - you have all done a great job.

Went here with my hubby!! He was so excited because we had talked about this place so much! Had the most DELICIOUS breakfast pancake with bacon bits! Mmmmm! We had a WONDERFUL server I forgot her name now but she had a beautiful baliage!!! I loved it hereVegetarian options: Didn't order them personally but I noticed quite a few!!Dietary restrictions: Offer a full gluten free menu which we defo took advantage of #HubbywithDietary!Kid-friendliness: My little Emma loved the colouring that was offered!

Waiting outside for 30 minutes before being allowed inside, then waiting 10 minutes eventually left at that stage as no one could be bothered to take our order! During our wait 19 people left without anymore people being allowed in. Absolutely terrible customer service. Will never be back

Every time we are here food is fantastic, never had issues of any kind , also food quality is consistently very good . Just to mention also team is extremely friendly and helpful.
Loved the food (I had shakshuka), but the portion size was rather small. We were also waiting for menus for a good while. The place itself is very welcoming and designed nicely.Vegetarian options: Not many options.

Food was lovely, can’t complain it was excellent. Did feel a little awkward when we arrived as we hadn’t realised two girls on the bench outside were queuing and had came inside so as to not wait out in the cold with our baby, we were quickly ushered back outside feeling awkward that it was implied we were being queue jumpers, all the young girls who served us were fantastic and the food was fantastic but whoever was on the door on 6/11/23 was maybe just having a bad day but she looked super dooper annoyed with us, we almost left but decided not to and we were glad we stuck around.

Blend and Batch is a restaurant on the corner of Banbridge's main street. It is super popular and for good reason! The interior is fresh and feels very on trend. They have a full vegan menu for both lunch and dinner.We tried the salt & chilli tempura florets poke bowl which was fabulous. The tempura florets were crispy and delicious and matched perfectly with the fresh vegetables and sauce.We also had the Mediterranean grilled cheese which was lovely. I usually don't enjoy vegan cheese but found this delicious and would definitely order it again. The bread was great and the cheese was melted inside with some great toppings.We were served by Jordan who was brilliant and made sure that everything went perfectly. Overall a delicious lunch at a very reasonable price! We will be back for sure ?

Dog tolerant, not dog friendly.I arrived here with my dog yesterday and was told that the only dog friendly table was in use by customers without a dog. I was then asked if I wanted to sit outside which I agreed to because I’d travelled 25 minutes to get there, despite it being chilly. I was told to walk around the back to get to the terrace, not to go through the cafe. I was seated and got my food and coffee which were both very nice. My dog got a bowl of water and a sausage and was treated kindly by a different member of staff. When I went inside to pay, staff members gave dirty looks because I brought my dog inside. Overall, nice food but don’t advertise you’re dog friendly if you’re not.

Great environment for a cafe, it literally has everything you would want. Amazing food with so much on the menu, great coffee and really nice staff who are incredibly friendly. The manger Jessica is always so helpful and make you feel welcome. I would go with friends to catch up over lunch or go solo and work from Blend and batch. Both are always a good experience All in, its a brilliant cafe no matter what you are after
