John Morphy took over as Landlord), this
Micro-Pub is located in the main shopping area of Westgate,
close to both Town Centre Bus Stops and the Railway Station
(The Bake can be hard to find, being down a 'secret' passageway, between Coral's Bookmakers & The Carlton Cinema) Although the Bake has been here for many years, there are many who live in Westgate still don't know about it!
