A little over a year ago when I started getting contractions we drove down the road to Owhiro Bay and went for a walk around to Island Bay. On the way back we stopped in at The Bach for a drink and little nibble.
During our visit Ma (which isn't her name, unless you're one of her kids) who was on counter that day told us how proud she was of her kids; one had just been in a movie and her lawyer son had been doing well so had brought The Bach.
No doubt, new owners mean change, sometimes for the better, sometimes not. And for the past year just as the south coast is constantly changing, The Bach has been going through it's own changes. A lick of paint, new outside tables & chairs, a menu overhaul, beer & cider taps, artworks on the wall and the biggest new change, the removal of the cabinet and the creation of Whero.
Now that we live down on the south coast, The Bach is definitely our local (we live just around the corner), and it has been great to see the changes they have made in the short time we have lived here.
Earlier in the week after dropping grandma at the airport we stopped by The Bach for a spot of lunch, this is when we found out about Whero. The Bearded One & I ordered the D.I.Y grilled hoki filet Taco's, I had tried the D.I.Y Taco's a few months earlier and in that short time they have turned into this whole other amazing dish. I had told The Bearded One that we could share the D.I.Y Taco's, but the reality is they were so good that we had to restrain ourselves into sharing. The Tiny Human also enjoyed nomming down on the fish I gave him as well, and it was all washed down with a couple of milkshakes.
Today on the way back from a visit to the post shop I thought I would stop in for lunch, The Tiny Human was asleep in his pushchair, so why not. I ordered Aunties Chowder, a ginger beer and a chocolate milkshake (yes I LOVE my milk). My order arrived fairly promptly, but best of all there was wifi for while I waited.
As The Bearded One said earlier in the week "How can a place get better?", points at the food, "That's how".
The best thing about The Bach, besides the amazing view, is that it is child friendly. We aren't talking child friendly where they tolerate children and have no changing facilities, we're talking it's like going over to your aunty or uncles house.
The kids menu is ALL DAY, they have colouring sheets for kids, a toy box for the little ones, two mocka high chairs AND a changing table.
You can expect big things from this little place on Wellington's south coast and if you're in the area why not pop in for a coffee or something to eat.
