Burns the Bread in Mendip

Sweet little bakery. I was pleased to discover they had some vegan options - I enjoyed their vegan sausage roll, very delicious. My feedback would be that I would love to see them expand on their vegan range, to make the bakery a more kind and conscious choice for consumers ~ reducing their contribution to animal suffering and lowering their carbon footprint.

Love this place, used to come as a kid years ago. Getting a beautiful hand crafted and baked ginger bread man makes me feel 10 again, thank you guys.

Bloody amazing cakes at old school prices

Mama mia! One of the best bakeries, definitely deserves a recommendation for others. Thank you

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

Fantastic local bakery.....everything is delicious and very friendly team

Can’t fault it. Great food at a fantastic price.

Again, the item's price increased 10 pence within 14 days. Great ! I am not sure why the increase is not made more deliberate and leave the increase for a while. This affects the taste too,

After reading all the good reviews, we had to give this place a try. I got a sausage roll and my wife got a bean roll. I know this is a small sample size, but neither of these rolls was anything to write home about. My sausage roll was taste less, kind of like some you would get at the gas station and the bean roll was not much better.

No longer offers Gluten Free unfortunately stop GF they said not economically viable t produce products

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 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!)

Burns the Bread simply sells delicious baked goods. And that's it. :D I've known them for a couple of years now and whenever I visit Glastonbury I enjoy one or another thing from their bakery. Absolutely delicious!

Found this by accident strolling back to the car from the Abbey, The sandwiches available were such good value compared to where we live, fillings were large. Tried a couple of cakes as well - delicious

Fabulous cakes and pastries. The Eccles cakes are delicious. As too was the carrot cake, apple danish, Viennese finger and the pasties! Crisp pastry. Just out of the oven.

It would be rude not to get something from here when in Glastonbury! Service is always very welcoming and friendly too. 5*

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.

This bakery makes the best whole grain bread ever! I truly wish they'd move to San Diego, California.

Cheese pasties 2nd to none gert lush

Incredible bakery! Shop manager Daisy provides excellent service

Wonderful baked goodies and sandwiches and the bread is well worth a try ..if you like a traditional bakery this is the place for you...

This is not a restaurant... It's a bakery and they make the most delicious rhubarb muffins, which we like to think are a healthier option :0} Nothing more to say... Except, leave us some for our next visit ;0)

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!!

Friendly staff here, great cakes, shortbread, fresh loaves of bread if quick enough too, pizza slices are nice and their fresh sandwiches are excellent, it's a favourite for me, well priced too

Best bakery for miles, if you are local it's worth a visit. Reasonably priced for the quality.

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!

Popped into here for a quick takeaway of sausage roll, pasty & doughnuts. A great traditional bakers with great tasting food. Sausage roll & pasty were nice & warm & packed full of filling. Noticed they also do a fab collection of vegetarian & vegan savouries. Great 👍

Got the lamb and mint and the cranberry and white chocolate and they were both lovely!

Staff are always super friendly, the pastries are delicious and great value for money. Highly recommended.

Burns the bread is a proper old style shop , not many left nowadays. Everything is lovely and quiet often run out of certain things " sign of a good shop in my view.

Lovely bakery with very reasonable prices. Good sandwich, pastry and cake selection. Would recommend the vegan sausage roll - blows Greggs' equivalent out the park!

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 😋

Pizza was delicious, plenty of vegetarian options and some vegan options too. Friendly and polite staff on a busy day. Would definitely visit again.

Absolutely the best bakery we've visited for the whole package!!! Amazing choice (vegan/gluten free/regular diet) breads, Buns , filled sarnies, savoury pastries, cakes, sweet pastries! The cherry Danish and bread pudding - oh my goodness just delicious! Staff so friendly. Prices more than reasonable! Such value. Just discovered there is a shop in Wells too so will be visiting tomorrow 😀

Really tasty filled rolls which was just what we wanted... Also a couple of the best loaves we've had for a long time. Friendly guy serving who offered to slice both loaves...

I attended the course back in March, I learnt so much. Bob was a fantastic teacher with Anne as his side kick. I would recommend this course to anyone

I was purchased this for my birthday, what an amazing day. Very educational and the amount of bread and treats taken home at the end of the day was fantastic. I learnt how to make the most amazing bread. Bob and Anne were brilliant.

Te veel zoete & hartige lekkernijen om op te noemen. Kleine keurige winkel met vriendelijk personeel.

We visited about a week ago, and was met with a ratty older lady with minimal customer service who didn't even say hi, which made us feel more of an inconvenience than a welcomed consumer. Anyhow we ordered two pizzas both of which tasted ok but were stone cold and a chocolate muffin that was quite boring in flavour, so neither of them are worth the money, I don't recommend.

Lovely pasties and sausage rolls. Excellent service! Right in the heart of Glastonbury. I was pleasantly surprised!

Really delicious sandwiches and pastries. Everything is fresh and tasty.

We tried the famous Torsy Moorsy Fruit cake and for the price it certainly was nothing exceptional. There are other bakers in town whose produce is juts as good. The savouries were ok but for a treat try the butcher at the bottom of the...

Burns' Glastonbury pasties are legendary. Rightly so! Affordable and quality food.

This Bakery sells the most delicious lamb and mint rolls (they look like sausage rolls) and they taste heavenly. I have never had or seen these anywhere else. If you’re in Glastonbury you must visit and try these, yummy!

Pastry Making Course. Great fun, covid-safe & brilliant direction ensuring all that attended took home lots of tasty wares! A very tasty lunch and all refreshments included.

Visited on Saturday 28th August 2021. Parked in the car park outside the Abbey and picked up some traditional pasties to eat then and a great offer of 8 mini pasties for later. The pasties were fabulous but that didn't prepare us for the wonderful...

Delicious, family run bakery - high quality ingredients with real care and attention. A real gem of a bakery, reasonably priced and tasty.

So, we have been coming to Glastonbury for over 10 years, and a trip is never complete without having a good munch at Burns. This normally involves savoury, finished with something sweet. This year's treat was vegan sausage roll, two of them. Neither of which disappointed. The vegan sausage rolls have always been top notch here, and today's were also really, really good. No doubt, we will be visiting again next year.

Quaint small bakery in the heart of the High Street. We had bacon savouries and pasties which were filling and fresh. The Choc devil slice was delicious and the fruit and seed slice was the best flapjack/granola bar that I've had. Well worth a visit.

I always visit Burns The Bread when in Glastonbury, there are many tasty vegetarian and some vegan options. Coffee is great too! Almond croissants are out of this world! Ditto the vegetarian pizzas! Mmmmmmm! Yummy! Can't wait to go back!

Stopped off on the way back from our holiday. They do gluten free muffins which were so so good, had to be one of the best gluten free muffins I’ve had out. My boyfriend had a bacon savoury which was served warm and tasted amazing....

It's great that some places are beginning to offer vegan options. However, there were only 3 options in the afternoon, and the iced cinnamon bun, although moist and soft, was not up to my taste buds. Vegans, try this place in the morning. They *might* have better choices. Friendly staff though!!

Used this bakery lots on our recent holiday to Glastonbury , excellent choice , friendly staff and good value for money. Particularly enjoyed the muffins

Just had a sausage roll in local shop .very very ordinary not much taste at all .

Very refreshing that they are still taking the Covid threat seriously. There was a short wait to get in and limited to two groups at a time. It was worth it. Excellent selection of sweet and savoury. Lovely pasties. Lovely steak slices. Reasonable prices. Will...

Top quality products and an excellent selection 👌 👏

After a lovely walk at the Tuesday market, we ordered pasties and hot drinks. Lovely community, excellent service and outstanding food.

Best pasty ever! Lovely staff, excellent selection of mouthwatering goodies. Only difficult thing was choosing! They have certainly earned their awards.

Great bakery- super bread, baked goods and sandwiches. Good selection of vegan/vegetarian too x

We drove over 5 hours from Suffolk to visit Glastonbury and we were starving by the time we arrived. We saw Burns the Bread bakery and popped in to buy some food. We bought a sausage roll, a pasty and 2 apple turnovers. OMG, everything...

We drove 5 hours from Suffolk to Glastonbury and by the time we arrived we were starving. We saw Burns the Bread and popped in to grab some food. We bought a sausage roll, a pasty and 2 apple turnovers. OMG, what can I say. The food was divine. So much so that before we left we actually went back and stocked up on more food for dinner. I've been around the world and never been to a better bakery. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I can't recommend this bakery enough.

Great range of cakes, pasties and sandwiches. Always stop here if I'm only wanting something small to eat. Very reasonably priced and always hot. Particularly love their vegetarian sausage roll or the brie and cranberry sandwiches. Helpful and friendly staff too

A wonderful range of pasties and other savouries, bread, pastries and cakes, including vegan and vegetarian options. Too good in fact! The vegan Glastonbury pasty is addictive!

Always lovely and friendly with the bonus of yummy bread and cakes.

The Torsey Morsey cake Burns sell is the best fruitcake I have ever tasted, have given it as presents, recipients always delighted.

Every time we visit Glastonbury, one of our first calls is to Burns. Bread is great, sausage rolls are very good, cakes are lovely. Basically the bakery is the best, wish we had one at home. Friendly staff. Can't fault it.

We tried the Lamb & Mint pasty and was not disappointment, also had the Cherry Danish and was really tasty, the carrot cake was nice but I can say I have had better. Friendly staff and fairly priced - COVID SAFE.

Good gingerbread men but the staff could've been a bit friendlier.

I have just spent the weekend in Glastonbury and one lunch time had an eccles cake, it was something else. I told my husband on the phone that I had one and was ordered not to return home unless i brought an eccles cake with...

Always a good experience. Lovely baked goods and sandwiches. Freshly made and good. We return on every visit to Glastonbury!

This is a convenient place to grab a snack on the go, whether you're going for a hike or simply don't feel like having a full dinner. They serve a warm or cold , decent selection of pastry , sweet and savoury and have vegan...

Great place for a snack. They have a gluten free (though it is made in a wheaty environment) and vegan food! Best muffin I've ever had- it's how I would imagine wheat muffins to taste like!

We ended up going in to get a bite to eat for lunch and got 2 x coffee's and 2 x Pasties, which were quite small ... tasted ok , but not great!

Great products and lovely staff....you really can't find a better bakery in the area. Takeaway sandwiches are great and cater for gluten and dairy free requirements.

Mixed view good croissants and breads but we no longer buy mediocre cakes and buns. Closure of an essential service ignoring the needs of the public they serve is an unforgivable dereliction of duty. What if all providers of essentials like supermarkets .followed their example ?

Outstanding products, but always has been in my mind why staff touch the products with their hands. They handle money touch their face nose bacteria is everywhere and after touch your bread. I think staff should be trained to not touch anything with their hands anyway.

Un visita obligado es este panadería, al entrar no lo sabes donde mirar, ni hablar del olor entre el pan recién hecho y los pasteles. Aquí puedes comprar te también algún pie o sausage roll para comer paseando.

Hot, tasty vegan sausage rolls and spelt pasties at competitive prices and the young man who served me was very polite. However, the other staff were sullen and made me feel unwelcome so that’s why I’ve only awarded 3 stars.

We'd been advised by several to try the local bread and were confused as generally, when visiting a tourist spot, many don't recommend the local bakery. When we tried the corn bread, we could understand why! Absolutely delicious!

I eat here almost every day. I'd probably starve if they didn't exist. Delicious pasties. vegan options

Amazing food, a proper "must go" for Glastonbury!

Best bakery, Chelsea buns are incredible.

great bread and wares - pleasent staff - worth a visit easy parking at the car park for the abbey......................................................................................

10.30 today had a glastonbury pastie stone cold you would think they would have them a little warm before putting them in the shop

Delicious, wholesome flavours, excellent range of choices, and a convenient location right in downtown Glastonbury. Parking on the High Street can be iffy, but the car park is conveniently nearby. Not to be missed!

When we go to the Glastonbury Carnival we look forward to visiting Burns the Bread for the muffins that have differant flavours and nicer than supermarkets offer. Tried the mince pies this year and these are very good. Good selection of other bakery items.

Stunning bakers, amazing selection of treats to eat on the go, including vegan and vegetarian savoury's. if you are about just shopping in Glastonbury. along with of course good range of daily breads and buns etc. not to missed

If you did manage to park in the marketplace, we recommend the coffee & scones etc at their nearby shop

Eine hübsche, kleine, idyllische, typisch Englische Bäckerrei mit sehr leckeren Schoko- Himbeermuffins.

Great slection of cakes and good bread My favourite loaf is the small branary at £1.30 which is good value in my view

It is a excellent bakery, the staff are very helpful and polite and know their products, they did a bread order for my pagan wedding and it was excellent and would recommend them to everyone.

Strongly recommended. Great bread and pastries. Try the pasties or the vegan sausage roll. Excellent service.

Great take out treats both sweet and savory. The filled meat and veggie pies are superb. The location in the Abbey pay and display has a few tables outside for customers. The traditional gingerbread men are a great dessert. Very friendly staff and fair pricing. A great break from restaurant lunches.

Bought some pasties for a picnic at the Abbey... they did not disappoint. Beautifully cooked and delicious. Quick service too.

We stayed in Glastonbury for a couple of days, wanted a quick breakfast at a reasonable price quite early in the morning, a lot of the cafes weren't open before 9am which was a bit rubbish and Burns was open from 7am so we went there both days. A wide selection to choose from and even had sausage and bacon sandwiches. So four of us got well fed for about £16 and that included a cake each too for mid morning! Well worth a visit.

The bread is amazing as are all the other foods they sell. This is a must shop when in the area.There are shops all around the area so you should get what you are looking for. Enjoy

Very busy but on the whole quite nice items from the baker half way up the High Street. Vegetarian options to be had from the hot counter too. Pretty good if you want to get something from a bakers to eat en route.

Oh , these pastries are the best. The sour dough is a must and we bought 3... that’s 3 THREE fruit cakes to take home as they are scrumptious ...... YUM
