Reeve the Baker in North Dorset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Reeves the bakers are very expensive, they charge £3.60 for a sausage roll.!!!!!! We will never use them again. Our local bakers charge £1.39 for a large sausage roll.

Just bought their raspberry and almond tart...fabulous quite possibly the best shop bought tart I've ever bought in 50 years!..well done baker.

Great food, but the worst service in Shaftesbury. Really let's it down. It's not cheap so not getting a smile and being made to feel like being an inconvenience when you asked to be served is a very poor show.

One of worst places to ever visit in the UK. RACIST woman working there just asked us to leave the place because we asked for a minute to choose what we want to buy.

I recently visited this bakery and had an extremely disappointing experience. The woman working in the shop was blatantly rude to my wife when she asked about the food. It was clear from her attitude and behavior that she harbors racist tendencies. This kind of treatment is unacceptable and has left a very bad impression on us. We expected better from a well-known bakery and will not be returning. I urge others to think twice before supporting a place that condones such disrespectful behavior.

I have always been an avid supporter of Reeves for their fantastic bread, at a price, but today I was just about to enter the shop at 4pm and the lady saw me and locked the door. Any shop with feelings would have let me purchase the loaf. But this jobsworth deliberately locked a regular customer out.

Love the sausage rolls, they are the best 👌 love their sweet treats too. I don't visit shaftesbury very often but always pop in when I do. I just wish it would stay open till 5 pm rather than 4 pm week days

Very friendly staff, food always lovely & freshly made

GREAT food, but very expensive.

Stopped for a lunch item, bought a peppered pastie, by early evening I had been ill several times. Looking at the presentation, it seemed as if it had been there for a lot of hours, I should not have had anything from there. Pricey and not properly prepared = I'll.

They serve all their loaves in plastic bags. Total and utter disregard for their impact on the environment. When I asked, they said it’s to keep the bread fresh. But it’s not a good enough reason. They are handing out hundreds a day. They should use paper and give out plastic as and when customers ask for plastic. Not the other way around.

The raspberry almond tart is to die for. Living in the USA but on my list to return asap. Very good value for money and tasted amazing.

On holiday today we stopped in Shaftesbury. We bought a large wholemeal loaf a choc chip shortbread and a gingerbread man. Your bakers deserve 11/10 all of the above were excellent. The wholemeal bread best we've tasted anywhere. Thank you.

Passed thru Shaftesbury today, stopped for a walk around and saw Reeve The Baker. Went in just after a snack, saw a Pork and chorizo sausage roll and a pasty. The super friendly guy at the counter asked if I needed a hand and I mentioned my conundrum. He said he recommends the sausage roll. So I got it. I also got the pasty.... 👀 Coming all the way from New Zealand, I never thought I'd find the greatest sausage roll I've ever had. But gosh darn, my mind was blown at how good it was. The pasty was also amazing. Would definitely return here if I pass thru town again.

My friend and I were new to English bakeries, so we sampled two items...each....then returned a day later and tried four more: a buttery chocolate twizzle, a glazed donut oozing custard, a flaky Coventry pasty, and a loaf of sourdough that was still excellent three days later. A kind server named Lisa attended to us with utmost patience as we scanned the large assortment of sweet and savory items with the decisiveness of children in a candy shop. Queuing next to us were a couple of cyclists who rode up all the way from Weymouth for a bacon bap.

Super tasty and cheap, served quickly, everything fresh

Wonderful staff for suggesting the pork and chorizo sausage roll. The wife ate it so I went in and left with the last one. Coffee was also very good and we consumed outside looking across to gold Hill. What I deduce is if the randomly selected items were presented well and kept hot, everything else would be receiving the same car and attention. Well done staff.

Buono il pane. Ottime lei quiche. Sfiziosi i prodotti da forno ideali come accompagnamento di un viaggio tra le colline.

They don't have much room but they use it well . However the food is not as good as was told they're sausage roles were under cooked and they're pastry was terrible

Despite looking very good the sausage rolls were absolutely awful. In fact I’m not sure you can even call it sausage. Very disappointing

I called in on my way through by chance in Shaftesbury- I have to say the Chicken and Bacon roll was the best and tastiest I’ve eaten in ages. Really good and plenty of it. I don’t normally do reviews but felt that one was deserved. Yum!

Love how the pastry pasties are fresh The cheese straws are absolutely delicious

A delicious mix of many yummy cakes, just too many to choose from but places the perfect setting while eating a scrumptious cake 😍 and walking down or up gold hill. This is after all the home of the Hovis advert.

Great traditional products, what a refreshing way to purchase wonderful Belgian buns to Olive Bread. Fanatic.

Great cakes. Good selection and really fresh.

Doughnuts as bug as your head. What's not to love?

Wonderfully fresh baked products. Almond slices were brilliant and as for the Wiltshire pasties WOW! filled and moist and oh so tasty - best ever.

Fair range...not sure about the quality of the sausage in the sausage rolls, however the pizza was delicious and the bacon roll & coffee filled up an early morning 'hole'! 👍

Great food, always friendly staff!

Good sandwiches to take away for less than £4

Lovely cup of tea. Macarons are top.

Great selection. From classic iced buns to pecan apple strudel. Super fun! Affordable and has the great taste of classic England bakery

How lucky at the good people of Shaftesbury to have such a first class bakery in their town, we bought a number of items and all were delicious. Definitely worth a detour if you’re anywhere near and make sure you buy an almond and raspberry tart!

Unfortunately I had to rate it down as there is real lack of vegan options available. The only thing available was an apple pastry which was ok, but the pastry was a bit thick and claggy in places.

The loaf I bought was expensive but MASSIVE and it's the BEST multigrain, sourdough loaf I've ever eaten. If bread is important to you, which it should be, shop here.

God tier. Amazing bakery. Variety of goodies and polite staff members.

Had some tasty bread there and a pack of raspberry almond tarst. There were delicious and costed only 2.2 for a pack of 4

The bakery had a queue outside which I took to be a good sign. There was a wide range of products, including but not limited to various pasties, pizzas, sausage rolls, sandwiches and artisan breads. We had a chicken, ham and leek pasty, chicken curry pasty, a large slice of a sausage roll, and an Italian long roll with olives and Parmesan baked in. All of them were delicious, the service was friendly even though we took a little while to decide on our order, and fairly priced. I totally recommend this bakery.

Called in again on our way to Cornwall for gorgeous macaroons,belgiun buns and sourdough loaf. I have to say we have not got a bakery on the IOW that can touch the quality of this one. Called in on our way back and got macaroons and Dorset Apple Cake.....the apple cake is delicious.....best I have ever had. No wonder people queue here for their baked goods. Thanks so much for keeping alive the power of proper cooking!!

Nice little bakery, big queues and can be quite pricey. One of the cheaper establishments in Shaftedbury unfortunately.

Excellent service and absolutely fantastic product, the quality is excellent, value for money and freshly made, recommended a visit.

Always very friendly, fresh and delicious

The biscoff salted caramel doughnut was the best thing ive ever tasted in my life

Great choice of products! The Wiltshire pasty was to do die for! Will definitely be visiting again. The lad who served me was very friendly as well 👍

The sourdough bread in Dorset !

Lovely shop, lovely staff and great grub!

Lovely cakes and bread and very friendly.

very nice lunch was purchased yum yum 😋😊

Great friendly staff, whenever i visit family in Shaftesbury I go straight there for the Wiltshire Pasties & sausage rolls that are delicious. When I worked abroad mum would always have a couple in her suitcase for me. So yes, five star bakery!

A very nice lady called Lisa assisted me today with my order, unfortunatly due to my military career and losing my hearing to a grenade, i now suffer with PTSD and anxiety. I am excempt from wearing a mask and I was wearing my exemption landyard (Hidden Disability) in store today. Whilst being served today some customers were talking rudely and loudly outside about me because they had to wait longer than normal. Lisa was extremely helpful and understanding as were all the staff and they did re-educate those rude customers about my exemption lanyard. Thank to all the Reeves staff in Shaftesbury and your support, i wish more shops and people were this understanding.

Polecam wszystkim, bo wyroby są rewelacja. Chleby na zakwasie to poprostu mistrzostwo, a i słodkości palce lizać. Zwłaszcza "francuskie" z migdałami!

Got a hot pasty for our lunch. It was very nice and service was good. Did not try any other products however the prices for the "Artisan" label was to high at least a pound premium on a loaf of bread.

Lovely bakers that we visit each time we come to Shaftesbury. Lovely food and welcoming staff. Dorset apple cake is a must.

We knew nothing about Reeve the Baker (now I have checked it out - there have other bakeries and tea rooms). Saw that they had sourdough in the window so went in and bought some. I asked for it to sliced and this was done no problem. The bread was packed into a waxed paper (rather than plastic). The cakes, sandwiches and other breads on display looked amazing.

We used to slip across from our hotel each day to buy a lovely cake for our lunch while out on our daily sightseeing trips. Massive selection and lovely choice of bread, cakes and savouries.

Old fashioned type bakery of yesteryear. You will put on weight by just standing in the doorway.As for the produce. You will have try it.

Why is a smallish crusty loaf £4.50p? You expect to pay a litlte more but still cannot work out the price charged. I did not pay this price my guest did, I intend to call at the shop and ask about prices!

very nice range of sandwiches, bakes and cakes. Recommend

We were wandering around Shaftesbury and decided to pop in to buy a Bakewell tart and some other cakes. We left without buying a thing because wasps were swarming all over the (uncovered) cakes and breads. We went to Coffee 1 instead and found all the cakes and pastries safely covered up so we spent our money there instead. I would expect such a well known bakery to have excellent standards of both hygiene and customer service. When I expressed concern before leaving empty handed the (very) young man behind the counter just stood there silently. You have training and hygiene issues that need urgent attention Reeves!

On this occasion we just wanted bread and some cake, their white split tin loaf was excellent as was their apple and walnut cake. Excellent friendly service.

They looked nice in the window so I bought one. Took it over the road to eat it, took two bites and took it back to the shop. Just a shaped piece of bread, not a butter croissant at all. Never even asked for my money back, just gave them the thing .

Just called into Shaftesbury to get a sandwich before heading off to Lulworth for a two day break to celebrate wife's special birthday. Called into Reeves. Fantastic display of breads and cakes. Fab rolls and buns. Friendly and smiling staff. Wish we lived in town! Well done.

Just passing saw few people going in so popped in for a loaf of bread well the displays and smells of the shop are great so we bought the cheese straws and the almond Bakewell tart absolutely delicious,when in the area we will definitely pop back here.

REALLY shocked today when I went to by lunch at Reeves and asked if they might consider catering for people who don’t eat meat, eggs or cheese - to be told rather rudely “no we don’t entertain that lot!” 😮🤨

I have been popping into Reeves for many years, every time I go to the west country Wilton is my first stop. The aromas that escape from the little shop are superb, and when you enter you are spoilt for choice. I am disappointed though that Reeves have changed the recipe in their Wiltshire Pasty, it is not as good as it was 25 years ago.

Very reasonably priced scrumptious food. They do a lovely meal deal for £3.95 - you get a sandwich, shortbread & drink. They have mouth watering pies, pasties, sausage rolls, pizza, cakes, bread, rolls, salad boxes. They also do hot drinks - very varied. The staff are lovely and friendly too.

Reeves is a local baker and the smells of the cooking bread waft out into the High Street and entice passing visitors in. I recommend the cheese straws and the sour dough bread...... actually everything really!

The multi seed sourdough is amazing I can't resist a Lardy cake And a cheese straw Nice coffee couple of roadside tables always leave with loads of baked goods

We were walking past and thought that we would pop in here and buy a coffee and a snack. We were served quickly. We got a couple of coffees and we had a millionaire shortbread and also an apple strudel.

Pleasant staff and the absolute best scones and jam filled donuts! Open at 730- go early for best selection!

We bought several cakes, doughnuts, cinnamon whirl, gingerbread man, to eat on our weekend away, and all were absolutely delicious, and very good service in the shop too.

Hurrah for local Bakeries, They have more than one store in the area & like this unit are well staffed with charming people ready to share the tasty products. They have wonderful hot or cold savoury pastries. Pre or made to order sandwiches. You can get regular or artisan breads, wonderful cakes & sweet pastries & doughnuts. Oh and the tastiest lardy cake in the area, a rare delight not often on offer. You can order wedding & celebration cakes & hot & cold drinks. A must when in Shaftesbury.

Reeve the Baker are the best at doing take away rolls, sandwiches, sausage rolls etc. They knock the spots off all competition.

My wife and I were shopping in Shaftesbury recently and, having previously seen a Reeve outlet in Sherborne, thought we’d sample some of their offerings.

Great little bakery with outstanding hot pies. Highly recommend the chicken and leek pie. Great customer service in a central location.

Love this bakers superb quality . Always leave with a carrier bag full of goodies.

The food from the hot counter was excellent particularly the Wiltshire pasties, so good I brought one home on my last day there.

Great bacon rolls and make a perfect cappuccino to go with it.

Consistently good , great service and a fantastic selection of bread and cakes always a great place to pop in for take away lunch - yummy toasted sandwiches and pasties.

Brought a Lardy Cake - yummy, although much smaller than I remember them to be, definatey made them smaller and, of course, charging more.

I wanted to have a baguette every time I walked past as the looked delicious and had really unusual flavours. We did have several croissants each morning which I think were some of the best I have eaten in the UK! One suggestion though - the dorset apple cake is too crumbly, works for a puding but not as a cake.

They always have a great range of bakes on sale, me and my family LOVE the cheese straws and buy them every time!

Coming from Bournemouth my nearest Reeve is in Ringwood and I often take a special drive out to buy their bread:) I often stay in Warminster where there is another Reeve so today was a lovely surprise to find another one in Shaftesbury so will have that as a 3rd option. Never disappoints. Often drive past the Main Bakery on the Wilton Rd coming into Salisbury and think Yummy, doughnuts lol x

Comencé a comparar precios para un café y un rollo de tocino alrededor de la ciudad. Esta es lejos la mejor relación calidad-precio y calidad. Me quedé muy impresionado con el bacon crujiente agradable en un rollo de tocino fresco. También un montón de tocino. Muchos lugares a comprar uno de su suerte tienes una porción decente. También me sorprendió el sabor y calidad del café. La guinda del pastel para este delicioso flamenco es el precio. .

Atractivo en una ventana y panes mucho de golosinas similares dentro. Los panes que elegimos eran una delicia para comer y tan bien como ellos.

Ocurrió que pasando cuando me apetecía una taza y parecía un lugar popular, así que nos fuimos para una taza y una porción de pizza. Buena selección de pasteles, tartas y dulces, agradable decoración, personal amable y un servicio rápido. Muy bueno.

Siempre con amabilidad y sonrisas, no puedo criticar la comida y el servicio. Rollos de salchicha y debe, un poco caro, 2. 10 para un gran rollo de salchichas, sándwiches y los bollos belgas son para morirse.

A good selection of bread and cakes.

This is a great shop. If you wanna sit in and have a cuppa, you can. Or take it home. Bread us superb.

When we arrived in Shaftesbury, we shared a rhubard tart which was extremely good- tasty- not too tart, not too sweet.The next morning we bought a delicious whole grain bread.This is a wonderful bakery

Our history at our B&B gave us fresh bread from Reeve for breakfast. It was delicious. We looked in the window the previous day and the cakes looked really good, especially the Eccles,cakes. Next time we are down that way will go in and get some sandwiches for a picnic.

Great takeaway sandwiches and also the rhubarb tats was exquisite. Fresh, tasty and beautiful bread baked there. Thoroughly recommended.

A little treat to myself, a sit in the sun on their outside tables eating their normal really good food.You can eat cheaper but this quality is always guaranteed and it's a place to people watch.

Reeves has AMAZING food which is perfect for kids and adults alike, and at good prices in my opinion. The staff are lovely too!If you haven't already, you must have a cheese straw from here! :) the gingerbread men/shapes are also great for children!

Excellent choise of Filled rolls Cakes And cooked Pizza .They do a very nice coffee as well .Staff are very freindly and helpful

Excellent range of pastries, pies and cakes. plenty of choice friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere, tables available outside

Good bread, the sourdough is great

Good food a bit over priced sometimes

Hot pastries, coffee or soup. Freshly made rolls & sandwiches. Lovely selection of cakes cookies & fresh jammy doughnuts. I would love to say I don't pop in here often but.....
