Reeve the Baker in Wiltshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Best bakery in salisbury... A must try if you haven't already. Quality bread made the tradional way.

Closes way too early at 4pm. Went to Greggs which has sensible pening hours.

realy tasty and good services. But if you want to eat inside you need to pay more which is unfair.

Brilliant wonderful wonderful baked goods. The almond croissant is simply a bomb! Buttery, heavy, meaty. Yes, the perfect croissant.

The baked goods are very delicious and fresh

Went to have a coffee and cake here on Saturday afternoon. Went upstairs only to be told by a gruff waitress that we couldn’t sit here as they were closing, even though there were still people sitting here. Coffee was very average too..

Great local baker. Stopped for a tea and cake. Great value and friendly local service. Got a Larry cake and Viennese whirl!!

Great food, especially bread they are delicious 👌

Zero stars for this place. Just went in, purchased a drink and a pastry, and headed upstairs to sit down, only to be approached by staff saying I could not sit inside, because I purchased downstairs 'from a different menu'. What on earth is that about?! There were at least 10 tables available for others (lunchtime on Good Friday!), so no honest reason to let me spend 10 mins there. I left and will never go back. Looking at other reviews, many have had a similar experience. So don't waste your time and money. The hot chocolate was Cadbury sugary powder, not worth the price!

Fantastic and yummy food. Lovely place, very clean. Really lovely staff, especially Doris :)

This review is for the café only. I'm a loyal long term Reeves customer and I will continue to be so for the bakery, but I will never visit your Salisbury café ever again. We arrived and queued at the top of the stairs. We could see at least 4 free tables, admittedly only one was cleared, but we were left stood waiting at the top of the stairs nearly 10 minutes and ignored, except to be asked to move out of way while they cleared tables (quite rudely too), which they didn't actually do anyway. After 10 minutes, and still being ignored, we left. There are too many cafés in Salisbury for your staff to treat customers this way.

Nice Restaurant, Food came fast. No dressing on the salat. The Sandwich was Great. The Brownie was ok.

Just been into Reeves Bakery, Blandford, for coffee and cake and whilst I agree their sourdough is legendary and their food wholly excellent, they should remember-that not everybody loves dogs, this doesn’t make us bad people, just more conscious about hygiene when around food preparation and consumption. I accept that Reeve’s policy is to allow dogs into their cafe, however I was shocked to see today two dogs sat up at the table, this I find disgusting and establishments that allow the practice are surely not worthy of a full hygiene certificate

Used to be good but last couple of times has played my tummy up a little i think maybe instead of being made fresh everyday which i would expect for the price it maybe frozen and cooked in the morning like greggs but the fact it is much more expensive than greggs i would expect fresh , but there you go thats the same most places now since the independents went

Excellent afternoon tea for two. Tastychoice of well filled sandwiches, crisps, salad and cake and proper tea in a pot. Good value.

Went into the newly opened first floor coffee shop, told the young lady my husband was downstairs asking if we needed to order downstairs or in the coffee shop itself, I was immediately informed if he bought the food downstairs we couldn't eat it it upstairs so we ordered our food and asked for a piece of cake any cake and we were told we couldn't order cake to be eaten upstairs. I could not believe my ears needless to say we will not be using the coffee shop again . So so sad .

This is a really good bakery and cafe providing numerous products served by helpful polite staff. The bread bloomer we purchased was particularly delicious and we also sat outside and enjoyed a fruit juice, coffee and bacon & sausage roll that was impressive in both content and taste. In a great position for both a shopping break and people watching it has never failed to impress me with service and quality, Having visited it several times I thoroughly recommend it

Bit of a joke No good - cooked breakfast No good size breakfast, choice of beans or tomato. Tomato not even cooked beans arrived cold sausage not hot 73c regulations not being met. Sort your act out could be nice place.

Everything was lovely, food, drink, waitress upstairs in the cafe. All changed when we went downstairs to purchase some baguettes to take away and the server was so rude and abrupt, no smile/happy Christmas nothing, obviously didn't want to be there!!!

Had a sausage roll it was absolutely gopping!. The sausage meat had the consistency of chewing gum and had no flavour. Knocked me sick.

Cheese straw 3 for £2.40 just amazing. luck to ordered it just freshly not long out of the oven. Love love love.

Disappointing, 2 Wiltshire pasties were very average, unlike the price! I'm pretty sure the sandwich loaf I bought was left over from Saturday or before? High pricing, but the food is just average at best. The staff were very polite and helpful.

Arrived Monday 6th November would of liked a coffee and cake with partner, climbed the very thin stairway to upstairs seating area, had to stop on the stairs as two ladies in front, I asked why we couldn't get further in and the ladies pointed to a sign on the table at the top of the stairs saying "wait to be seated". There were 6 clean available tables to sit at. The ladies said they had been waiting ages already. Two staff visible, one taking a payment, the other flapping about with a cloth. I enquired why we couldn't be seated the older staff with the cloth informed us we seat you so we can fit people in, I pointed and said there are available seats we are queueing on the stairs it's dangerous, more people had joined the queue trailing down the stairs, now nobody can get out passed them , people trying to get out, elderly customers on the stairs, seats available. I went to find the manager and complained. We left, will never return

16:50 and wouldn't accept cash... closes at 17:00 so should be 17:00

Absolutely wonderful upstairs cafe. Food just lush! We had the Tea for two with sandwiches, huge teapot of tea and cake. Really filling and tasty. The staff were so fantastic. New lady called Doris was superb. Would thoroughly recommend! Thank you!

Love Reeve The Baker, have been going here for like 30+ years, can't beat a nice wiltshire pasty and a cheese straw...

Wonderful selection of bread and pastries. Enjoyed the freshly-baked pies. Unfortunately no gluten-free options available.

Nice products but never come across such miserable staff in my life i visited one in Amesbury and Salisbury staff we're the same in both and products way overpriced not worth the money they charge will not go back.

Amazing food great selection of sandwiches , tables just needed a quick wipe down .

As usual very good food, reasonably priced.

We tried the spinach-cheese and the minced beef filled pastries and liked them very much! As for popularity, among the lot of vegetarians, like my friend, it was hard to find options for her here, they don't have any vegan options, but we she a compromise with the cheese and she liked it very much. The pastries made us full for long hours while wandering around the Stonehenge and the Cathedral. :)

Just visited Reeve in Salisbury and was very dissapointed to be told by the assistant that none of your products are vegan, and no vegan option could be offered. If this is true, which I suspect it is not, I find it wrong that in 2023 you can not provide an option for my diet. Also the assistant, Trixie, was very rude and made no attempt to apologise for the lack of vegan option. Will not be going back.

We went into the dine in area as we have had some good standards when taking away but when we ordered the drinks took a long time to come and then the Brie and cranberry toastie crumbled when I picked it up. I would visit again if the service was quicker. If you order a toastie then you will be given a salad that looked like it had been picked from a nearby field. Not a good experience!

Excellent lunch food, we ate it outside.

My one year old is super upset about the icing that isn’t on our Belgium bun! Wilton Reeves know how to pack these correctly, I think Salisbury need teaching…. :(

Probably the best Bakers in Salisbury! An amazing array of bread, cakes and pastries which are all delicious 😋 People rave about Greggs sausage rolls but they are not a patch on the sausage rolls from Reeves!

Lovely bakery with table service upstairs. The tea for 2 was great and not expensive.

I still enjoy all the baked goods from Reeve, and the food is decent upstairs, but the selection has gone way down at the sit down restaurant, and our teapot had dust all over it, which was off-putting. The baked goods are as delicious as ever.

ベーカリー2階にカフェレストランがあるとは知らずに入りましたが正解でした。 Tea for twoでサンドイッチ2種類、サラダとポテトチップス、パウンドケーキ3種類に紅茶がついて約£17はお得だと思います。 また機会があれば是非利用したいです。

There's two Reeve's in the city; I visited the one with the sit down cafe upstairs 30/06/23, where I've been before. Nice and central, gets busy at peak times. Friendly waitresses, ordered Brie & Bacon toastie, choice of white or seeded bread. It was a large plate of food when it arrived with plenty of salad and crisps. Coffee good too. The main bakery downstairs has a quality range of pastries. Loo's available but up another flight of stairs.

Just had an Almond Croissant £2,35. Unfortunately I was really disappointed: it's a simple butter croissant (a good one ok) but the only almond element was the thin caramelized flakes outside, and no filling inside. I was looking for an almond chocolate croissants, and since they don't have them, I settled for a simple almond croissant, and when I discovered little to no almond, I was quite let down.

From a customers perspective, Great food, honestly best fast food ever, slightly more expensive than average but well worth the extra money From a staff members point of view Starting pay minimum wage, when initially applying the job descriptions are a complete lie. They state Monday-Friday with Weekend availability, then rota you in to work at least 1 day every single Weekend and if you try and argue youwill be made to feel as if your lettong the (team) they call it family for additional pressure to "support the family" . What the hell happened to simple honestly and genuine moral values this company originally had!!! This is not an isolated case, it's systemic in almost all Reeves Job descriptions, classic bait and switch tactics. Dishonest and unethical, they have lost their way, once an honest local business, now adopting the big corporate model of maximising profits over people

Great coffee, nice setting on market sq, biggest xakes I've ever seen

This is probably one of the best bakers that I've had the pleasure to visit. The Wiltshire pastys are to die for absolutely beautiful. The only downside is parking to use the store. I risked a parking ticket by parking in the square, had to go buy one. Remembered it from my last visit

My go to place for a breakfast pastry in Salisbury. Always tasty 🙂

Good coffee and sultana Danish, cafe clean, tidy and busy

Reasonable lunch at Reeve, toasted sandwiches for two , and pasty . Order written down but 'sausage roll ' brought to table incorrectly instead of pasty - short wait for actual correct order . Good portion size.

Undercooked Sausage Rolls. I took a bite and had to throw the rest away. On holiday and on our way home so couldnt take it back.

The Wiltshire Pasty was sooo good! I'm normally not a fan of this kind of stuff but well done!! 👍👍

Excellent value for money. I had a toast basket and for less than 4 quid I expected a bit of sourdough and a bit of whole meal. I got 4 different types, all great, and it was practically a loaf’s worth! Mrs L’s breakfast bap was huge and whilst the contents won’t win any gourmet food awards they did a job. Our follow up cakes weren’t subtle in flavour but were suitably decadent. Add two coffees and there was change out of twenty quid.

Decent peppered steak pasty and a caramel shortbread slice. And an outside view of the square

Fast and friendly, but… it’s winter here, so I ordered baked potato with ham and cheese. Well the potato was not hot enough to melt the cheese which was cold grated. The ham was a cold slice on the side. The soup was lukewarm. Altogether disappointing, especially on such a cold day. Upon commenting we were told it was the oven system that was programmed that way and there was no control to make it hotter. This is probably a cost cutting measure. If so it’s a very poor management decision

Giant and delicious! Very yummy, naughty treat!

The bakery looks fantastic so we thought we’d try their cafe. A couple of toasties, and a couple of filled rolls. Teas snd cold drinks. 20mins waiting to place order and drinks arrived after another 15 mins. Finally the food after another half hour wait. Poor service , you are made to feel like you are an inconvenience & food arrived uncooked/ untoasted Shame !

Amazing service (Suzanne?) and food for a small lunch! The soup was great and also the potatoe and sandwich!

Very expensive bakery, went in yesterday to purchase a sausage roll. There were 4 members of staff stood behind the tills, but yet I was still stood there for almost 5 minutes before I was acknowledged, even though each and every member of staff had made contact with me at least once. Not even an apology when I was being served just blunt customer service. The sausage roll cost £2.80 which I didn't mind as it looked good. Unfortunately it only looked good, the sausage meat was mushy and had almost no flavour to it at all. I would have taken it back but had already arrived back at my car before I tried it, so just ended up binning the sausage roll. Could have went to a different well known bakers around the corner and got served straight away for 1/3 of the price but 10x the flavour. Would like to say I recommend, but I just wouldn't.

Delicious scran, sausage roll was immaculate, however the prices are extortionate, but this is the cost of living now a days. Overall the quality was brilliant and the scran was banging Food: 8/10 Service: 6/10 Overall: 7/10 Keep Scranning , TGL Fridays

Enjoyable food, excellent service. A fair few things unavailable on the visit so hoping to try more on the next visit.

Excellent. Thoughtful staff and good food. We will come again.

Really disappointed, croissants were not fresh at all and just tasted like pre packaged ones. Bacon baguette used horrible fatty bacon and the pasty was just vile. This isn’t a bakery at all just a horrible version of greggs

Lovely lunch in the restaurant, high quality, good value, friendly helpful staff. Also good selection of bakery products to take away from the shop part. Will return.

Good food, but rather over priced. I was seriously annoyed with there regular coffee size especially with the price they was. Better off going to Costa! A take away Regular coffee is more like a shot cup!

This was a very poor dine in. Bland sandwiches and toastie tasteless....and a joke of a salad. Also staff were only interested in taking the dosh...

Cracking local bakery, for pies/pastries on the go or as I like to do with my mum - tea for two upstairs in the cafe/restaurant.

Food good. Drinks could be hotter

Love this shop and tea room great food, friendly service especially Sue ,also go there when in Salisbury.

I'm new to area and never had reeves. Definitely the best baked goods I've had. Billion times better than Gregg's. I'm definitely gonna gain some weight as I'll be back for more pastries

Went in today (05/08/2022) and staff were very abrupt and rude which is an awful shame because the food and prices are very good. I regularly visit the Reeves in Salisbury but don’t think i’ll be returning after this morning.

Tasteless sandwich with two day old bread. Nice setup and infrastructure.

you got the best sausage rolls in the whole of salisbury honestly i went there and when i finished i felt like i ate one great meal so this is why i am giving this a big 5

Amazing service and treats galore! I was only visiting for the day and your vianesse whirl certainly brought the sun back out. It filled our hungry tummies and left us craving for more so in addition we brought a shortbread (which I ate today and was divine) and a cheese straw. All resonably priced and well presented. I will certainly be back again!

Best cheese sticks around. Very large selection of bread that can be sliced in store.

Attended for lunch Tuesday 03/05/22. Upstairs My baguette was inedible. The crust was so hard it was Impossible to cut with the knife provided. I asked for a better knife and was told "alright I'll get you a sharp knife but I want it straight back". My friend's roll was just as hard and he couldn't eat his meal. The waitress should have offered a different roll or meal. Attitude and Customer service is sadly lacking here. I left still hungry.

Visited at 1:30pm on 19th April 2022. We waited 10 minutes to be seated, even though many tables looked like they were nearly ready and it didn't seem particularly busy. We then had to wait 40mins for our order to be taken, despite asking to order within the first 5 mins of sitting down. When the food eventually came, the sausage roll and pasty were luke warm and disappointing. On the upside, the kids enjoyed their baguette and toasted sandwich. We wouldn't come again. If you want to try here, don't opt for table service. Take your food outside, it'll be much quicker.

This bakery and tea room / coffee house has been around since I was a child growing up in Salisbury. We would always go here to get our bread and cakes. Now with a seating area outside which is especially good for people watching on market days (Tuesday and Saturday). I always visit here when I am back in town from London. Worth a visit for its bread and cakes. Or to sit and watch the world go by. Enjoy a breakfast in the upstairs restaurant.

Friendly staff and very nice afternoon tea.

Fantastic food in cafe loads of good treats to buy 👍😃🎂

I had a half baguette filled with egg mayo and salad from here yesterday, the middle was frozen solid making it unpleasant to eat straight away.

My word. This bakery is out of this world. Cheese straws are silly good. The donuts are the size of footballs 😳 😍😍

Great bakery delicious pastries and cakes, sausage rolls and chicken n mushroom pasty finished off with coffee and lardy cake heaven 😋 after a long winters day walking round Salisbury.

Simply the best brownies I've ever had the pleasure of tasting! The Biscoff/Lotus donuts are amazing also. It's melt in the mouth stuff essentially. I definitely recommend this store, but hands off those donuts! They're mine! Haha, but seriously though, great service and special recipes! Thank you!

The food is ok, but they make you wait for ages, standing on the stairs, whilst they wander past you, ignoring you.

AVOID! Staff are rude, food is average at best, plenty better alternatives in Salisbury.

This is the best place for cakes and pastrys, came up from London for the day and this was the highlight for me, can't wait to return!

Lovely place to stop for a coffee and lardy cake!

Whilst with the current Covid situation I understand that the menu is reduced, I am extremely disappointed that it is the vegetarian menu that is reduced in preference to non veg. Some of your great vege options such a Rarebit has been dropped. No options for vege sandwiches or baguettes etc, can you believe that?. When I mentioned this to the waitress, she offered to make anything with cheese. Not inspiring. I have eaten at Reeves for many years, but I no longer have any incentive to eat there again. Don't make vegetarian 2nd class citizens.

Nice place for afternoon tea with a sticky bun. Good service from helpful staff.

Excellent bakery and very friendly staff, had a lovely sausage roll, and my partner she had an apple Danish, both were really good. Also bought a small farmhouse loaf and some seeded rolls, been there a couple of times on Salisbury visits.

Always lovely baked goods- difficult not to pick something up on the way past. Their upstairs seating was a good place to have their breakfast roll too!

Excellent food only bettered by the hepful staff

Really love this bakery, they have a cafe upstairs where they have a specific menu that you order from. Really polite staff to.

Great food, excellent service. Highly recommended

Great selection and really helpful and friendly staff! I highly recommend their viennese whirls and caramel and custard doughnuts! Yum!!

Nice friendly service and the food was good

Good service. Good products. Best mince pies. Thank you.

It's great but so expensive. This is a rare treat couldn't do it regularly. This relates to their tea room. Bread and cakes ridiculously priced though.

Excellent as always. Will be back.

Delicious filled rolls and Halloween gingerbread bats.

On a recent trip to Salisbury, I was looking for an independent place for lunch. This place looked fabulous and the food looked right up my street. The other thing I looked for was good Covid compliance which was also in evidence. I enquired at the counter if there was a bathroom before my friend and I got comfy and was told it was upstairs along with seating. Outise seating was available but it was in the shade and the weather was chilly, so up we went. At the top of the stairs we looked around for the loo before venturing further and were also discussing which table we should like to sit at. At this point the waitress, who was in the middle of taking an order from people turned and almost shouted at us to wait where we were amongst other things. Her manner was so agressive and totally uncalled for that we looked at each, shrugged and left. When there are a wealth of places to visit, nobody has to put up with rudeness. We were so disappointed. will definitely try again in the hope the person concerned has got out of bed on the right side next time as the food looked srummy.
