Horrendous meat and potato pie. Massively undercooked to the point of dripping water from the soggy bottom of it. Scone was warm and cream had started curdling. Average coffee. Miserable service too. Dreadful experience all round.

The kind of bakery that every village in the UK needs! We're full on foodies and over the last 8 years we've had bread, pies, cakes, sweet pies and sandwiches from Grange Bakery. Everything is exceptional and our holidays over the hill in Cartmel aren't the same without a family visit to this wonderful place. In a world that thinks Gail's and "baked on site" supermarkets faux bakeries are acceptable, Grange Bakery is proof that old school is absolutely best. We should all demand such high quality at this price (just like the French do!) Thank you Grange Bakery. Now please get Cockles of Cartmel to restock your bread! The current offering is not a patch on yours.

Absolutely disgusting, my partner went to get a pie and salad bun today at 12.30 this is a Saturday! Only to be greeted with “very sorry we are closing look there’s no bread or buns left! Highly unlikely as 12.30 is peak business. Because it is such a sunny day they were packing the goods away so no one could see or buy them!!! Well Grange Bakery has slipped back into old habits. The other day it was the weekend and the Staff had cleaned everything off the shelves and had packed up!! I demanded they made me a salad and ham bun. The girl serving looked at me with distain all the buns cakes were under the counters and in drawers.Cakes were being sold at a £1 each, I got 2 to try( me and my partner ) AWFUL!!! Chocolate orange cake was dry must have been a week old and scones were like rocks! WHY IS NOTHING COVERED NOT JUST TO KEEP MOIST BUT TO STOP CONTAMINATION!! If the shop for filled its opening hours the cakes would have been sold and no negative reviews would be necessary. The staff could hardly speak English which was a problem,that comment isn’t racist it’s a fact! I don’t understand why that Bakery isn’t open till at least 4.30pm on a weekend as people (tourists) were looking through the windows thinking that they were closed. This is how businesses end up failing - loss of custom and revenue. To WHOEVER is in charge of this Bakery( I know there is 3) make them stay open to proper closing time because I can guarantee they don’t put on their time sheet or report that they were finished early! They were standing there cringing hoping no one would come through the door. It’s perfectly fine giving foreigners jobs but ffs make them do their job properly! No Bakery in a place like Grange closes at 12.30!!

Re. previous comment on pricing: a. You should display the price as not everyone wants to ask the price of things (it makes some people feel embarrassed) b. The law states (taken from the Gov.uk website): Rules for retailers If you’re a retailer, you must display: the price of products - this must be in sterling (pounds and pence) and include VAT where applicable the price of a single item (the ‘unit price’) for products that you sell loose metric measures (like kilograms, centimetres or litres) for unit pricing -

Why the 3 stars? As someone who lives just outside Grange, I have bought various times a number of times over the years, when I pop into the town. But on my last visit I was disappointed to see the pricing is not clear. To my mind, the cakes should be clearly labelled with their prices, alongside the name of the item. There was some sort of pricelist on the counter, but it was difficult to discern exactly what the prices related to. This is a time when people have to budget carefully everyone in Grange is a wealthy pensioner.

We walked into this little bakery to see a lovely selection of cakes and bakes. We ordered a vanilla slice from a lovely lady with dark hair. We were standing at the bar area opposite the counter to eat it as it was raining outside, the lovely lady who served us even offered to cut it in half for us. We began to tuck in and it was truly delicious. My enjoyment was ruined when I looked over the counter and the other staff member with a short bob hair cut was scowling at us, she then very loudly 'wispered' to her colleague that this is "a take out place not an eating in place", despite having the bar counter to stand at and tables and chairs outside, which we would have sat at had it not been raining. Needless to say we left instantly. Had she informed us directly that it was not an eating in place, we would have happily left, however this rude woman ruined our otherwise pleasant experience.

We’d read on Trip Advisor that the croissants were stale but just assumed it was a one off or untrue. I mean, how could a bakery find it acceptable in any way to not sell freshly baked products? Well, it seems it wasn’t a one off. 2 almond croissants purchased from their counter on a Tuesday morning and they were like cardboard. The added star was for the friendly server, otherwise it would’ve been a one star review.

We thought we'd get a fresh loaf and some croissant for breakfast. Croissant was stale and possibly cooked from frozen. At £1.25 a croissant I wish I'd gone across the road to Tesco. The multiseed bloomer and £4.25 was also stale, it did not have a nice crunchy crust.

I really like Grange bakery but feel I have to let you know about my recent disappointing experience. On Friday I purchased a birthday cake which I had ordered several weeks ago. I went in to check the day before that everything was in order, the very helpful assistant read my order back to me. A lemon cake, to feed 10 people, fully fondant, iced in lemon and white, £48. My first disappointment was on collecting the cake, it had large pink flowers as well as lemon and white decoration. Not to be deterred, I looked on the bright side and delivered the cake to the special family party which was taking place in the NE. The cake was cut into, my daughter requested lemon cake, her favourite but to my absolute horror, it wasnt lemon, it was a vanilla sponge with jam and buttercream. I was so upset. I have to say there was no way of knowing what cake was inside the icing but I ordered lemon so that is what I thought I would have got! ....I would not have even ordered the cake if I thought my request could not have been fulfilled, I would have gone elsewhere. What was the point of the very helpful lady filling in the form and asking me all the questions ?? when who ever baked the cake never read it and just delivered what they thought I would want. 07/07/24 I now need to add that following my review I have received a satisfactory resolution. Lesley Many thanks for sorting this out for me.
