Dragons Village Bakery in Purbeck - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This bakery is amazing! We went back most mornings of our holiday to get bread for breakfast! We highly recommend the crusty rolls, but anything you go for is guaranteed to be great. Over the course of the week we tried the crusty rolls, cottage rolls, bacon/sausage baps, sausage rolls, cinnamon danish, milk choc chip cookie, croissants, etc. Everything was exceptional. (Just be warned that it’s so popular that parking near it is a bit trickier!)

Magnificent. We had walked to Corfe from Swanage and wanted a bite to eat. I could not believe we could find such quality in a tourist village. I had a prawn mayo bap for a mere £2.90.It sounds nothing but it was great. Nice bread, generous tasty filling. In Bournemouth I would have paid twice as much and it wouldn't have been half as good. My wife had a cake. She swore it was the best cake she had had in years. We liked it so much we plan to walk from Swanage to Corfe again next week, and then back again, just so we can go to this bakery again. Oh! And the staff was charming.

A lovely little bakery. Absolutely marvellous pies and pastries. Dropped in to pick up snacks after walking round the castle. The pasties and the spinach and feta slice were lovely and a reasonable price.

Grabbed a quick pasty straight from the oven, and it was absolutely delicious. The pastry flaked, and it was just the right size. Only observation is that it was called a Cornish Pasty but had minced beef rather than cubed. Beware Trelawneys army fining out and laying siege to the shop! Doesn’t stop them being great though.

Bought a (very!) large brown seeded loaf yesterday. It is absolutely delicious. I froze half, and if that turns out the same I will try and make room in our freezer for a bulk purchase.

We only bought cakes but shout out to the Vienese Fingers and the Bread Pudding. Hot selection smelt and looked lovely too, ideal if you don't want to pay Cafe prices.

Bought a gluten-free loaf here to take home. Absolutely delicious - nearly finished it all already despite slicing and freezing it immediately - best I’ve found!

Probably one of the best bakers we have been too. Bread is so fresh. Sandwiches are amazing and all great value.

Best Dorset Cake ever. Every time I come to Corfe I buy one. Soo good. Very helpful staff, lovely breds too

Went to see the castle and the model village, saw the bakery and the queue, got pork pies, pasties, sausage rolls and sandwiches,all very tasty, and very very good value, the young lady who served me was a delight, and very patient.

Staying self-catering this bakery helped ensure a brilliant holiday. Bread and cakes excellent, and the breakfast baps a real treat.

Fantastic pasties, wide selection of food available. Make sure you buy some of the corfe biscuits! Delicious!

This is genuinely one of the best places to buy a pasty I have ever been too. The pasties are hot, crispy pastry and the filling is fruitful. So lucky to have such a great bakers in Corfe Castle.

Devon buns the best. Dragons Bakery best bakers nothing too much trouble for them, thank you from Stella x

OMG This place is located in the picturesque Village of Corfe Castle But I’m not reviewing the bakery on its amazing location or How pretty it looks No I’m Reviewing this place on how AMAZING the food they cook here.. I ordered 1 Large pastie,1 Cheese slice,1 Steak Slice & I can tell you now I can’t pick a favourite out of the 3- The pastie had so much meat/Potatoe- Steak Slice had an amazing gravy covered in steak & The cheese slice was So Tasty.. I Remembered this places food was good but this time it was Exceptional & a must visit if your visiting Corfe Castle.. They stock all the Favs a bakery does & even serves Tea/Coffee to Takeaway Still got the taste of that Large pastie whilst writing this haha 100% Recommend.

I happen to enjoy a pork pie and these are the best. Crumbly, buttery shortcrust outer and an accompanying amount of beautifully seasoned sausage meat. It is also pleasing to find that they do not have the not so nice jelly/gravy which some pork pies might contain. It is also worth noting that the size of the pork pies are perfect for lunch or just as a snack. They are also not over priced. Result.

Bought a loaf whilst passing through the village, returned on our way home some days later and bought 3 more loaves as the bread was fantastic. Sadly we were only in Dorset on holiday and normally live miles away or we’d shop here every day. Lovely friendly staff too.

My Wife and I live in Dorset and we visit the Bakery for our lunch every time we pass through Corfe Castle, the choice of hot and cold snacks plus cakes is superb and considering the popular location, very reasonably priced, no wonder it is so popular. Open 7 days a week throughout the year, I believe only closing on Christmas Day. There is nearly always a queue so be patient especially during the Summer and other times when the weather good. The staff are brilliant, clean, smart and have to work very hard to cope with demand from visitors that decend from all parts of the uk

This never fails to please. Pasties, lardy cake, sausage rolls, sandwiches. Staff efficient and polite. I use this place a lot and they get some pretty grim customers but their patience with the North London whingers is exemplary.

Best bakery in Purbeck is no understatement. I can understand why a few neg results on here about staff not bending over backwards to be over friendly, however this was during Bad Covid 19 outbreak and the bakery area is very small. Plus we have...

First time in Corfe Castle and we called in the Village Bakery, tried the Cornish Pasties and they were amazing. Very impressed.

Just returned from a holiday in West Lulwoth. One day we (4 of us) visited Corfe Castle and happened upon The Bakery. We each had a Cornish Pasty and are all agreed these were the best pasties we had ever eaten, despite many years of...

Soooo many delicious delights in this fabulous bakery. We bought our beach lunch here every day for over a week and faced the daily dilemma of staying with the previous day’s gem, or trying another tempting treat. Fabulous pies & pasties, freshly prepared filled rolls...

Good service and everything we bought was excellent. Can get a bit crowded as shop is small. Parking is available around the square.

Full and half size loaves are available. They had a good assortment of sweet baked products while we were there. Their beef and chicken-leek pasties were divine.

Grabbed some sausage rolls and cake whilst on a visit to Corfe castle, sausage rolls were tasty and piping hot. Would recommend and visit again.

Very good cakes but we arrived after lunch so the selection was limited. Best to go in the morning. We would recommend the lemon cake.

Always call in here for coffee and a cake whilst cycling between the Ferry and Swanage. Nice cup of coffee and a cake to keep my sugar levels up before lunch in Swanage. Secure bike parking and toilet’s near Castle ticket office are handy ....

Rarely do you find a pasty that's full top to bottom end to end with filling. Until now! A huge beastie at £4.00 but worth every mouthful. Hot, savoury well cooked filling of meat, carrot and potato. Fantastic and a beautiful hot loaf of malted...

Terrible discrimination in this shop. Got shouted at for not obeying made up rule with no legal standing at that particular time. However it is against the law to implement disability discrimination. Disgusting treatment.

Staff rude to disabled who were mask exempt telling them to go outside and wait. Will never return or give them business again .

What a wonderful little bakery that has won awards for some of its products. We brought a Cornish pasty & a Viennese finger. Hubby had the pasty and his words were it’s one of the best he’s eaten including all the ones he’s had in...

Do not expect a warm welcome by friendly staff at Corfe Castle bakery, expect the exact opposite. The food isn't worth the agro either. Do yourself a favour and find somewhere that wants your custom.

Very rude and overbearing bossy staff. Heard one lady being shouted quite abruptly and asked to stand outside. I didn’t like hearing this and so decided to not offer my custom. Avoid there are many more welcoming alternatives.

Rude staff. Shouted at for their made up rules in front of others. Will never return here. I see many others are feeling the same. They need to go on a customer service course.

Really rude staff. Been in the bakery numerous times and every time, I was met by rude staff. No hello, no thank you, no customer service. I feel they bring a negative experience of living/visiting to Corfe Castle

Popped in today after a visit to Corfe Castle to pick up some lunch. What an absolute delight. Staff were very friendly, strict hygiene standards and the 2 pre-made baguettes were delicious. You could certainly tell they were fresh and deep filled. Nothing beats the...

What a fantastic bakery this is, we always call in when we visit Corfe. Everything produced onsite in the bakery is absolutely second to none. I have honestly not tasted cakes and pastries this good from anywhere else. I cannot recommend this brilliant little medieval...

Visited with family after trip to Corte Castle. Good selection of rolls, pasties and cakes at reasonable prices. Hot and cold drinks. I would recommend the carrot cake muffins and apple Dorset cake. Very busy little shop, lovely staff, definitely worth a visit.

Very welcoming little shop with friendly staff. Fully understand the need for masks and 4 people in shop restriction due to the confined space & restricted ventilation. Our timing was perfect as the pasties came out of the oven, they were fantastic. Thoroughly recommend the...

Staff expected us to stand in the doorway to see what they had on offer just because we didn't have masks with us. I hadn't seen a sign saying we were required to wear one. So we couldn't see what they had to offer, how...

This place has very tasty food at reasonable prices. Especially recommend Cornish pasty and apple cake.

Couldn’t ask for better service 🤟🏼 I was tasked with collecting a Dorset Apple cake for the mother in law ( Her favourite ) with a 350 miles round trip during a global pandemic / fuel shortage. Arrived on the Saturday, and was flabbergasted to...

Great Value Bakery to pick up filled rolls, sandwiches and cakes for a packed lunch. Prices were really good and felt very good value for money compared to other places in the area. Freshly baked bread was lovely too.

Great choice of quality sandwiches, pasties, quiche, cakes etc. Central location and excellent prices

Whenever we holiday in the area we make a daily trip to Corfe Castle Village Bakery to pick up yummy goods for a picnic. The Cornish Pasties are the best ever and the pork pies are to die for. The cakes all look yummy; last...

Had a chat with the female member of staff, she told they are happy to take cash and credit cards which is brilliant. Food cooked fresh and option to have hot or cold food.

Looks like a nice bakery no entry to exemption badge holders told to wait outside and they will get to us. Not even a chance to browse. Bit much as masks not compulsory at this moment in time as well as vaccinations are up to...

Polite and friendly service. Cakes looked amazing. Lovely pork pie. Award- winning bakers title well deserved.

This has to be my favourite bakery. Whenever I I in the area and need a bit of lunch, I always come to corfe bakery mainly because of their excellent sausage roll but they also do a great pasty too! Keep it up and you...

Delicious food, but the ingredient labels - specifically the allergen information - are useless (every single product had a totally blank list of ingredients). With a family member who has a dairy allergy this made the process of buying food somewhat cumbersome (not helped by...

Excellent bread rolls, pork pies, sausage rolls and sandwiches made to order. Staff polite and friendly and face masks required. Highly recommend a visit.

Food was brilliant, great range of options for hot and cold food and prices were really reasonable! Definitely worth a visit

Lovely bread and pastries, I was surprised to see they had various vegan offerings! Great service was an added bonus 😁

We Even stopped here for a breakfast Bacon Bun & Coffee on rout to the steam railway. Nice locally cooked bread & cakes

I called into the village bakery to buy some fresh bread. Due to the Covid 19 restrictions they only allow one person in the shop at a time. Good selection of bread and cakes and a very helpful assistant. Will definitely go back again when...

I came here a couple of days ago to get a few things for lunch, I haven’t been here before but I happen to come across it whilst in the area so I asked a member of staff to help me decide on what was...

We stopped for lunch on a wet tour at the recommendation of our guide and were not disappointed. The quality of the food and drink was very good and the staff friendly.

What a great award winning bakery! We ordered Cornish pasties and they were very tasty. Good service with good conditions for Covid.

We bought warm bread and croissants here on our first day but were rather underwhelmed by both. Not much substance to them. We’ve heard that most of the produce is shipped in from elsewhere but warmed up @ Corfe. Good Dorset apple cake though. Not...

A proper old style village bakery which we visited to buy delicious takeaway filled sandwiches from twice during our 5 day stay. We would have visited more times but long queue at weekend. Lol, that is life these days.

Felt the lady was very unhappy about being there, not sure if it is her bakery but certainly was not welcoming, tried to be chatty but not much response, maybe better suited not dealing with the happy general public

Great bakery delicious fresh filled baguettes etc cyclist friendly so great place for a fuel stop whilst out

Been in a few times on my way past to get lunch. Food is always ok, never great, but will fill a hole at an ok price. However the elderly lady that works in there (might be the owner) is always so brash and rude....

The bakery is known as "Corfe Castle Village Bakery." I don't where the "Dragon" part came from. We ate a few warm donuts and bought a few delicious pastries for our onward journey. It is especially famous for Dorset apple cake.

Why advertise you close at 5 pm and the lock door on a customers face at 4:45 pm? This just happened.

Popped in today for some Dorset apple cake while visiting corfe castle. Was so lovely we bought 2 large apple cakes to take home to share with family.

Always pop in for bread and cakes when in the area. First class service ,First Class Bread and Cakes. We always take bread home when we leave. Keep up the good work.

Simple white roll, gingerbread man, hot sausage and Eccles cake were all Very good! Just had breakfast so couldn’t have more!

A full range of what you'd expect from a local bakers. We went for the multi-grain loaf which was excellent.

Feels as if you have walked through a door to France. A great shop with outstanding cakes, bread, etc. The display is great and the lardy cake a must. Prices were fair. It's a busy place and your wise to stand back and take time to choose your order. Just off the town square and great to put together a picnic to eat on the steam railway.

Stopped by here for a snack & wanted lardy cake, but this was not as I knew it, it was huge and I ate it in 2 halves, there & on my journey home, but lovely!

I bought food from the Bakers during the day to eat in the evening as I was staying in a B& B locally and needed an evening meal. The selection of filled rolls, pies, pastries, bread and cakes was amazing, and so fresh, together with cold drinks etc. It was very popular.

This little bakery is fab. So much choice and all really yummy and reasonably priced. The perfect lunch stop when visiting Corfe Castle.

日曜日の午後でしたがパスティやケーキ、サンドイッチロールなど種類がありました。

We were after some food yesterday at 11:30ish and the few pubs we checked at started food from midday. So we opted for this bakery.

Visited Corfe to see the steam trains and then have a walk around. Bought a chicken and chorizo pasty. Are it overlooking Corfe Castle. Very good food and excellent value

As we were leaving Corfe Castle for our next destination we needed sandwiches and bread, both of which we purchased. The sandwiches were delicious, as was the loaf of bread eaten later. Highly recommended!

Our visits to Corfe Castle are never complete without a visit to this bakery.

I just had to pop,in here for a good ole cheese and onion pasty, it had been sooo long and it didn’t disappoint. I then clocked my late grandfathers favourite cake, Eccles, again yum yum and yum

Fresh bread, filled rolls and sandwiches, cakes and pastries as well as crisps etc

We purchased baguettes which were a reasonable price but mine was not as nice as it looked. Perhaps I would try a pasty if there again.

Served by friendly staff with nice products at reasonable prices. The chicken and chorizo pasty was very tasty filled with the right amount of chicken, chorizo and potato and nice and spicy. My wife would recommend the chicken and mushroom slice.

Friendly staff and nice rolls. A lot less hassle than making and carrying a picnic. A wide choice for all tastes. Will probably try to pop back before we leave for a few more scones.

Whilst we were walking all around the village we saw the Dragons Village Bakery ! There were loads of hot pies, pasties etc. and we purchased 2 which were very tasty and very hot !!!! If you want a great pastry then try the pasties !!! Highly recommended !!

Called in for some take out food. Excellent choice of rolls, baps, baguettes, on white or malted. Reasonably priced and very fresh. Sausage rolls were excellent, if a little over priced. Overall would recommend this establishment.

We climbed up the trail to the castle and although we were meeting friends for lunch we felt we deserved a snack. Popped into this bakery and for 2 pounds got an excellent Cornish pasty (not pastry). It was filled with vegetables and fresh and delicious. Good plan!

Just around the corner from Corfe Caste. There was a queue forming at lunch hour. Its an old fashion local bakery and we like to support the local businesses. Bought sandwiches and a loaf of seeded bread. Almost forgotten the taste of real freshly baked bread. Definitely not what you get in supermarkets. Really amazing selection of bread, sandwiches, pastry and pasties. And at reasonable prices.

Decided to stop in here for supplies for a picnic lunch on Studland beach. Bought a selection of cornish pasties(yum) pork pies(yum yum) and other bakes and a couple of filled rolls with cakes too. All fresh and reasonably priced.

Upon leaving Corfe Castle we were a little peckish and popped into the bakery.

Cannot fault the quality of food served however the staff members who served us twice during our weeks stay (we went into Wareham because of this) were surly and rude making us feel very uncomfortable

Popped in for a snack. My wife has a cheese straw which was excellent. I chose a pork pie. Wow, it was still slightly warm. The pastry was out of this world. Still had a crunch but proper pastry. The pie filling was perfect. Of all the pork pies ever eaten this was the best ever by a mile. Also lovely polite friendly service. Lovely shop. Thank you.

This is an old fashioned Bakery which sells delicious homemade cakes, bread etc. We enjoyed one of their Dorset Apple Cakes and Pasties, we will be back for more!

Stopped in here a few times during my week in Corfe Castle just to get the fresh bread! Lots of other treats available as well, right in town center.

My family (myself, my husband and my son) stopped off at the bakery for some lunch. Husband and son were satisfied with their choices but I chose a tuna mayonnaise roll. WELL! where was the tuna???? There was so much mayonnaise that the contents of the roll literally fell out onto my lap!!! Please don't "water down the tuna" otherwise we will look for our lunch elsewhere!!!!

This bakery has been in Corfe for as long as I remember & is perfect for those last minute snacks before or after your walk.

We had visited the castle and came across this bakery by chance and we were glad that we did. Stunning cakes and not too expensive...I wish I had bought a second Belgian bun...it was one of the best I have ever eaten!

We had lunch on the bench outside the bakery as the pub was packed, food was piping hot and excellent. the lovely ladies in the bakery were happy and very chatty. Well done!!!!

Visiting the area to see the steam trains. We had planned to have breakfast at a local cafe we have used before but for some reason it was closed. We bought two sausage baps which were advertised as having 3 sausages. There were three halves. No problem as they were only £2 each. We then went back later for a pastie, sausage roll and a couple of cakes.

Rarely these days do you find an eatery that is unequaled and superb and fab and great food and service and PRICE and in a tourist hot spot but this bakery is all of these things. Great food and at a price that doesn’t hurt your pocket. The tea is reasonably priced and they even provide tomato ketchup at NO EXTRA CHARGE! Proper old fashioned place, which a lad leading his mate towards, described as ‘The Dogs Bollocks’.
