Wedges and Company

Wedges and Company sits on Cold Bath Road close to the south end of the Valley Gardens — a stretch of independent businesses rather than the more tourist-facing town centre. The menu is built around freshly made sandwiches and hot baps, with a full English breakfast option that regulars rate highly; the breakfast bap draws favourable comparisons to purpose-built breakfast cafés. Jacket potatoes, paninis, and savoury pastries round the offer out. A daytime operation — kitchen open from early morning and closing in the mid-afternoon — making it a strong morning-commute and lunchtime destination for the Cold Bath Road and Duchy estate areas. Rated 4.7 out of 5 from close to a hundred reviews, it punches well above its modest shopfront.
