The Parish Bakery

This refers to the Parish Bakery at Barnes High Street. Been customers here for many years, but have noted that the service has become very poor. Heard the bakery was sold out to Putney Bakery, but not certain. Poor service and a rude 'boss'. Always have our bresd sliced, but the slicer has become blunt and the slices stick together. Asked if the slicer needed sharpening, and a rather vulgar, middle-aged man snapped, "I am the boss here, and I'm not altering anything. If you don't like it, go elsewhere". What sort of parish would such a person represent? Surely not an olde Englande type! Trying to locate Head Office without success, so I can report this person. Seems company policy to conceal who the 'Boss' is - winder why?

Absolutely appalling service. Having been quoted one price for a cake for a party, we then received a phone call the night before the party to inform us that the price was wrong and they could not provide the cake. Unacceptable service. Avoid.

sorry to say ,but its gone down hill.it was a very friendly place to go but now there is no nice smiles to great you ,or any friendly contact,bring back the good old days.

the staff in the front shop are excellent always made to feel welcome and the food aint bad either
