Our Story
La Baguette opened in 2013 as a small French café in the heart of Berwick Village. In September 2017, Mush Rahaman took over from its founding owners, and with the support of the Berwick community it has grown into one of the village’s best-loved places to catch up — and one of its largest dining and event spaces.

Our
When Mush took over in 2017, he turned the café into a French-inspired fusion restaurant — keeping the French favourites guests loved while bringing in flavours from the many cultures that make up Berwick. Head chef Velid Causevic joined in 2018, and the menu has grown around fresh, local and seasonal produce ever since.
In 2022 we extended the café through to High Street, giving us room for private dining, functions of up to 120 guests and a stage for celebrations. In 2025 we were named a finalist in the Awards for Excellence (Breakfast Restaurant), and in October 2026 we began our 10th year since Mush took over.
