I’ve lived in Barnes for roughly 4 years now and felt the need to leave a review in the hope that it might improve with customer feedback.
The rolls and bread are as you’d expect from a bakery but the ready made items and cakes a little basic.
As an example, the cheese and onion roll has one thick slice of cheese and a thick slice of onion. The roll itself is buttered on one side with margarine. Minimum effort. My family and friends agree that the standard could be higher. If we do buy here, we’d usually take home the rolls and add items to it or butter the rolls at home.
Cake wise, I generally don’t buy them from here. The selection isn’t huge and the quality not that great.
With a few simple changes, this could be an excellent local bakery. I get the impression that this is the least concern for the owner because they mostly serve local builders and tradesmen so it doesn’t matter what they put out. They sell it anyway.
The Parish Bakery sell a range of freshly baked goods including bread, buns, pastries, cakes, rolls, pies, pasties and sausage rolls.
