It's all change at what was once a tea room and bakery in Arnold. After closing earlier this month, Brown Bird Bakery has undergone a transformation to turn it into a micro bar.
Named The Saxton, after co-owners Nikki and Rebekah Saxton, it will be opening from 5pm today (November 18). Nikki said the change was a "a last ditch effort" to survive since the tea room had suffered from increasing competition in the town towards the end of its 18 months' trading.
By reinventing itself as a bar, she hopes it will bring something new to Arnold and breathe new life into the business. The Saxton, in Croft Road, will be serving cocktails, beer, cider, wine, coffee, cakes and food.
