Bessys Bakery in Torridge

Excellent cakes and rolls excellent friendly helpful staff all in all 5⭐️ in everything see you again in May 2024

We visited a few times when we stayed in Westward Ho! Really good choice and reasonable prices. Our favourites were the filled rolls and pasties. The cakes are huge and various. Service was super friendly. Well worth a visit or two

We had lovely cakes and bread from the bakery absolutely delicious lovely friendly staff Tracey and Jade are fabulous absolutely brilliant thanks to all of you 5⭐️ In everything KR Darren saunders

super shop good variety of cakes and savories..i had a sausage roll and a different cake every day for lunch. top quality

We are on holiday in the area and discovered this wonderful bakery. The food is freshly prepared and everything we have tried tastes absolutely amazing ! We particularly enjoy the sandwiches and bread rolls which are generously filled and all served to you by very friendly, helpful staff. This is definitely our go to place for great quality food and would recommend others to try their delights.

The staff are very nice but a bakery that does not offer croissants because “they are difficult to make” and their suggestion to take a trip to Tesco is hardly what I expected. On the plus side all products displayed did look delicious and the pasties were good

Excellent lovely staff always a joy to see them excellent food all in all fabulous in every way 5 ⭐️

Visiting for the day and decided to get some lunch and rather than just eat from one of the "tourist" only venues on the sea front we wondered just a small way up the hill and found this delightful little shop. All sandwiches prepared from scratch, fresh salad products and my better half ordered Tuna Mayo and the filling was exactly how you would make it at home. I ordered a sausage roll and a pasty and a cake like a Mr Kipplings Fancy about about 5 times the size and a damb site nicer to eat as well. The staff were delightful, cheers and helpful and chatted about the area with a passion. Everything ordered was spot on and would definitely be alocation we would buy from again. Thank you both.

Small bakery with big cakes. We went for a caramel cream doughnut and a rather large fondant fancy and both were delicious.

Excellent lovely friendly staff lovely cakes and Bread all in all 5🌟thanks guys excellent as always

Very well organised during the COVID restrictions - fabulaous large baps made to order - cakes and pasteries too. Highly recommended.

Great pies and pasties, when it's gone it's gone so visit early in day. Staff friendly, great for a snack.

Excellent choice of cakes. Popped in while on holiday for a cake to take back. Polite friendly staff.

Just had the roast Beef soaked in gravy & Yorkshire pudding bap 😋😋 the best thing I’ve had as a take-away lunch in years and the staff are very friendly too 👍🏼

Really nice team members were always welcoming and friendly serving really nice bakery products, pasties are really good

Classic home bakery run by nice ladies selling high quality foods. The large pasties in particular are awesome!

So nice to be able to buy pure spelt bread from anywhere, but there delicious honey and spelt loaf is amazing so tasty and fresh. Cakes delicious too (for those who can tolerate usual wheat stuff)

Visited this bakers in Sept 2018 whilst on holiday. Asked for a traditional Devon pasty. This was the best pasty i have ever tasted and we get a few good ones in Cornwall. Packed with filling , loads of meat.

Visited almost every day while on holiday. Lovely range of cakes and breads, reasonable prices and good service.

We bought all our bread some cakes and scone and pasties and all were superb. We are looking forward to next year.

One of the best Cornish Pasties my husband has had- chunky steak! Well done! A great start to our holiday!

It is a good idea to get here early. The bread and rolls, cakes etc are fresh and good but tend to sell out as the day progresses. Staff are friendly and helpful. Fresh sandwiches are made to order. A very useful chop

It was great to see a bakery and popped in to get lunch the Cornish pasties are really tasty and filling and treated my self to a pineapple tart lovely pastry and nice filling too

Recently had two birthday cakes made here for my husbands 70th birthday. Staff very friendly & helpful with good advice. The cakes were fantastic, looked great & very light. Tasted lovely.

Stopped off here for a takeaway cream tea. For £4.50 you get a pot of clotted cream, jam, 4 scones and knife and napkins. The scones were amazing and huge. Would definitely recommend them. Cakes looked great as well.

Stopped at this bakery for a lunch time pasty while walking the SW Coastal path with the sort of hunger you only get after several hours of physical exertion. Unlike most cheese and onion pasties, victims of successive cost cutting, and which should really be called "mashed potato with maybe a hint of onion and perhaps a whiff of cheese if the chef was feeling generous that day", this pasty was crammed full of onion and a strong, mature cheddar (locally produced, I was told). It has been so long since I had a decent cheese and onion pasty (and not for want of trying), that I cannot even remember the last time. But this one was SO good, it should be a serious contender for a Best Cheese & Onion Pasty in the UK award. Thank you, Bessys Bakery, for an delicious, hunger-sating and altogether unforgettable cheese and onion pasty!

Pasé a través de Westward Ho! La semana pasada, mientras corta la ruta de la costa sur.

La salchicha panecillos pedí eran hizo de prisa y sin cuidado y atención.

Great pasties and great pastries. All fresh and served with a smile in a modern store. East to reach from the sea front.

Utilice siempre este panaderos cuando en la ciudad! El pan es simplemente adorable! Las tartas bien. Pero estos días que intenta resistirse a ellos. pero en el pasado he tenido los pasteles de aquí y estaban deliciosos 😊

Carne muy sabrosa pasty, servido por una amable señorita que estaba feliz de correr a través de los diferentes tipos de salado. Sin duda volveremos.

Este lugar es horrible. El personal es grosero y más interesados en abordar cada uno de los clientes de la otra. Me trajeron empanadas para mí y 3 miembros de la familia. Las empanadas eran todos de la "carne" era horrible. Los cuatro que tenía la empanadas tenía problemas de estómago aquellos que no comer no.

We visited the bakery to select some lunchtime snacks, we asked for a " Cornish " pasty, we then received a 10 minute rant on the fact that it was a " Devon " pasty and that Cornwall was so many miles down the road !!!We tried to laugh this off as a bit of a joke but she was having none of it and she seemed quite offended to a common mispronunciation. On walking round to the play area in the park we sat and ate our food. The " Devon " pasty was tasteless, grisly and damn right awful. The pastry was hard, tough and heavy. I wish i traveled the " X " amount of miles to get a proper Cornish pasty, if this is what a Devon pasty tastes like i will give it a miss.

Bought some gorgeous cakes from here, they were really yummy. The lady serving us was very friendly.

Fantastic bread, cakes, pies, baguettes. We go up to westward-ho twice a year for a holiday. And we always make sure we go to this bakery , but go early as most things sell out fast.

Very helpful staff and delicious granary bread. Recommend the plate pasty and the eccles cakes. Gluten free choices and ability to preorder

YUMMY something for everyone a small friendly Bakers that can sell out fast so get there early. Would recommend the Victoria sponge cake as a must have for tea, they do it in chocolate too and I always have to take some back to Essex as they are so nice, be aware if you require some to take back home it may be worth ordering in height of season and they box them for safe travel. Also do great local pasty's and warm snacks

Fantastic rolls, sandwiches and baguettes all freshly made to order. These went down a treat and were enjoyed by the whole family.Their fruit and plain scones are to die for and are responsible for my expanding waistline as a home-made cream tea was the order of the day from my eldest grandson - EVERY DAY that we were there.

We had some lovely danish pastries one morning. They have a great selection - apple, cherry, chocolate, lemon and pecan. The lady said you can pre-order what you want the day before if you want specific flavours. We woulld recommend any!

Love this bakery, fresh bread, scrummy cakes, pasties and a great service from Mrs Palmer and her team!Thank you

brilliant small bakery. bought lovely malted loaf and a cream tea pack. absolutely delicious. would recommend

I was really looking forward to a day by the sea and a tasty pasty. I made the wrong choice. Despite being in the hot cabinet it was almost cold and mushy ingredients. Wouldn't visit again

I LOVE MY FISH AND CHIPS!! and got a take away from the golden fry, awesome, fresh, tastey, and an exellent menu to choose from, and as for the staff, you must meet them, they are great and friendly people, 10 out of 10

A great little bakery on Nelson road in the heart of Westward Ho .. Bread and cakes are lovely and their pasties are (in our opinion anyway) the best in Westward Ho - friendly staff, good food, great prices - whats not to like !

Lovely bread here and always friendly staff- have used both bakery's in village and would definately only use this one again! Super!!

That was my review. Get bread etc most days it all stay very fresh for days.Only thing it closes at 3 this time of year so have to go shopping twice!

A busy bakery offering tasty products and friendly service at a decent price. I enjoyed a large lardy cake and would happily return.
