Got food poisoning from a vegan sausage roll a few days back. Not a great thing for Xmas

Fantastic bakers shop. I visited the one in Wells and the one in Glastonbury. The vegan Cornish pasties are sublime.

Some people have a 'thing' about wine, others about cheese, others about bread. I'm in the third group. A few years ago, I bought a loaf from Burns the Bread in the High Street in Glastonbury. It was, to say the least, beyond perfect. I was there, again, this Monday, so I treated myself to an 800g granary tin that cost £2.80 (yes, that's right; I had HIGH expectations for that price, as I could purchase the same at Asda for £1.30). To say I was almost in tears when I came to eat is it an understatement. The 'crust' was wrinkly soft and the entirety too firm, tell-tale signs of an old or stale loaf. Having cut off ALL 6 crusts, I came to something that would be deemed barely passable after two days given a bog-standard loaf. This 'Burns' loaf had NOT, I repeat NOT, been baked the same day and was being sold from the previous day's leftovers. I can tell, I just can, because I have to have real, fresh bread. The only positive is that I took a closer look at the Special Bread section in Asda today. I bought a 400g fancy soda and kalamata olive loaf (£1.95). It was gorgeous and HAD been baked there that day. Needless to say, I'll be going through the rest of that Special Bread section. Burns the Bread in Glastonbury is now a farce. AVOID at all costs. And, to be honest about these reviews, the vast majority of the negatives have been written by the same illiterate idiot who can't even end their comment with a basic full stop. Have a look; they're all the same. Ignore those. However, my review is genuine. (See; there's the full stop!)

Had a wonderful day learning at their School of Baking producing bread and pastries. The freezer is now full of pies, loaves and pasties. Eccles cakes are going down fast. Many thanks Bob and Bex for such a warm welcome, patience and help.

My partner and I treated ourselves to a slice of carrot cake and an iced chealsea bun, that we bought around 11am (on a Wednesday) - You'd assume on this day/time it'd be super fresh... Instead both tasted like they were made yesterday, which was incredibly disappointing considering the price. There's better options locally for less money, from the experience we had. Unlikely to go back and try again considering this experience. Parking is really difficult, so only go if you're planning on paying for the nearby carpark.

I’ve used more than I should really. I think it’s to hit and miss, I wish shepherds was open still. There’s a wider variety of cakes in Morrisons. Why do people shop in this over priced bakery? The sell yesterday’s pastries first thing in the morning and charge the same as fresh. Very reluctant to shop here again!!

Really nice bakery. Only issue is the Glastonbury pasties used to be twice the size and £1.50 cheaper. I've just had my last one ever. I'm not paying £2.50 for a near mini pasty!

Their vegan sausage roll is the best vegan sausage roll I have ever had! Absolutely beautiful pastry and flavour. It would be good if they had more vegan sweet options such as an iced bun 😋
