Pound Bakery in Preston

Meat + pot pie not even a 1 out of 10 threw it straight in the bin , GOOD JOB I had money on me I would have been devastated to eat it

Twice now I have asked for steak and onion and have received cheese and onion. Useless staff who don't listen.

The food was not even like warm. The staff were talking among themselves while the queue for piled up. The layout is ugly and I can’t believe how little selection they had

Price wise they are hard to beat with many pies, pasties and sausage rolls and breads sold at two for half the price of one from other bakeries like Greggs. The service is poor however as staff seem to expect customers to know what they want to order before the customers get to see what the choices are. The queue often means you don't see the [ies on offer until you reach the till area (many are in a glass display right in front of the service area) so you can't often just walk up and ask immediately for what you would like unless you just want the same thing as last time you went in. This makes staff look at you in impatient exasperation. They need to be patient or offer better menu and display information.

There was one member of staff on at the time of my visit with my friend. The shop was taking cash only at the time, the card machine was not available. I watched the lady as she served the people in front of us. She used tongues to put food in bags and her hands to take change. This is fine. She paused serving the line as we got to the front to fetch a box of frozen pasties from the back. She put this box on the back counter, reached into the box with her hands to remove frozen pasties and then placed them on a baking try to bake. She did not wash her hands between handling cash (notes and coins) and handling frozen pasties. This potentially contaminates the pasties and is a food hygiene and safety risk. Because money is passed from person to person and never washed. She used these same hands to handle food which was then served to customers. She did not wash her hands before handling food. Needless to say, I ended up not getting food from this bakery and I don't think I could ever again after seeing the way that food is handled here. This makes me think about what other violations may go on inside this bakery. It is not safe to eat here, especially during norovirus and vomiting bug season if staff don't take hand washing and food safety seriously. Please educate your staff about cash handling in regards to food hygiene and safety.

If you want a cheap lunch and the quality not too bad then this is the place for you! Good service and quite good quality I quite enjoyed it.

Always fast and efficient. They could put more fillings in the sandwiches and pies / slices but its usually good quality. Take it and run.

Only a takeaway but always smells good and is very tasty. Obviously for the price there could be more fillings but I have never had a bad snack ever. Most of it is 2 for a pound; who can complain too much? The staff are lovely and helpful. Well done guys - you probably need a pay rise though.

chicken mayo bagettes are good but WHY price rise from £1.00 to £1.20 that is a rise of 20% and he name is POUND Bakery !!

This has to be the bargain of the year: two chicken bakes for £1 when they are over £1 for one at Greggs across the road. I was amazed. They tasted almost the same (although there were fewer chunks of chicken), which was very good. They also have a range of sandwiches on sale at modest prices.

Had a cheese and onion pasty and a sausage and bean melt.can't complain for a quid. Seemed to be popular. Does sandwiches and cakes too

When shopping in Preston this is the ideal shop for a easy lunch or a quick bite food excellent and hot risk of buying everything you see as all well presented and excellent value for money.
