The Village Bakery

Bought a Viennese whirl which was filled with a grainy sugar inedible buttercream, sandwiched between 2 under cooked foul tasting Viennese biscuits which we couldn’t eat. We also bought some pies which were below average. The standard of cooking is very outdated and the presentation is rather sloppy but bottom line it just didn’t taste nice at all and we ended up throwing in the bin 👎

Wow! Just picked up a Jalfrezi pasty from the bakery today. Can’t believe I have lived in Patcham for 2 years and this is my first time. Couldn’t reccomend more.

This is a lovely small old fashioned bakery – a real little gem that I discovered on my walk. The sausage rolls were absolutely superb, and the two crusty bread rolls were delicious too.

The rudest women Iv come across along with the worst customer service skills known to man. They have made comments such as “can you be bothered to make this” and god forbid if you ask them a question you will get nothing but bad manners and rudeness in return. It’s quite unbelievable. You wouldn’t ever think we are paying customers. It’s clear they do not want to be there so it’s probably time to pack it in ladies. Also a word of advice: Treat people how you want to be treated yourself. It must be exhausting being so miserable all day.

If you have memories of what a bakery smells like, feels like and looks like from the time when it didn’t have to be trendy, expensive or modern then this is where you need to go. The bread is fantastic and the baked goods will make you dribble with anticipation. When these places are gone I just hope you took the time to seek them out and experienced the utter enjoyment of real life no nonsense unbelievably good baked goods and bread. My heart sings every time I visit.
