Reeve the Baker in Winchester

Best whole meal bread - fresh and lovely flavour. The also make the best jam doughnuts on the planet / with a trip just for a doughnut. Been buying bread n cakes n having coffe n brunch there for past 40 years n just as good now as it was 40 yrs ago.

Over £12 for 2 coffee and Danish. Unfriendly staff so will not go again. Shame as the one in Salisbury is lovely

We had tea and Chelsea buns here and delicious they both were. The staff were friendly and the bread and cakes are baked fresh every day in their Wilton bakery. The window display was fantastic, and drew us in!

Worsts bakers I have visited, over priced for what you get. (Cold sausage rolls), only one oven that only fits 2 sandwiches in it, food hygiene is awful no gloves while preparing your food and awful service, take your money then moves on to next customer before finish serving you.

I popped in to Reeves cafe in Ringwood today hoping for a fresh cooked sausage roll and coffee. It was absolutely awful, unfriendly staff, cold coffee and what has to be the most tasteless reheated sausage roll I've ever eaten. They have the audacity to charge £3.25 for it and quite frankly you wouldn't want it for free .. TERRIBLE

I have always enjoyed Reeve the Baker and visited various branches around the area fairly regularly over the years. I particularly like their filled Ciabatta rolls. Today I bought two of their meat pasties to take away. Probably the worst pasties I have ever had. The content was just a mash of minced meat and veg which constituted a kind of slurry. No steak pieces whatsoever. Seems their standards have dropped dramatically.

I always buy our bread from Reeve. It's excellent value, flavour and price. The non meat Pizzas which I choose on Friday are really nice too, full of flavour. Additionally, their sandwiches are excellent, beautifully fresh and always very well packed.

We had a nice lunch on market day. Staff were attentive and the food fresh. We like how there are traditional and continental style breads as a selection. It all tasted good!

Having often frequented the shop in Salisbury a few years ago, when we found ourselves in Ringwood on bank holiday we thought we would have a quick afternoon snack and coffee from here. Kind of wish we hadn’t. The first and second problem...we went in at 14:50 and were looking at the drinks board to be told, rather curtly, that they were closing in 10mins so coffee machine was turned off. The member of staff had obviously missed the lesson on customer service, and call me pedantic but if a shop shuts at 15:00 then I would expect it to shut at 15:00 and then turn off the machines, not turn them off early in order that (I guess) staff can make a quick get-away. Third and fourth problems were that I asked for one of the nice looking, proper sausage rolls and asked if they were warm and told yes: only to find when we had walked to park area and found a bench at which to sit and eat it that I had been given a pretty low grade unappetising cold sausage roll. Even the pastry was pretty unappealing. On the plus side, my wife’s Cornish pasty was better. Either the whole chain has gone downhill, or this is a problem store, or perhaps we were just unlucky that day...not sure I will be back in a hurry to find out.

Spent the last week on holiday in the new forest and came across Reeve' bakery while in Ringwood. Spotted Viennese whirls (one of my favourites) and bought one along with some other goodies! Oh my goodness - the best ever. Went back twice more and even took some home. Just wished they delivered where we live or had a bakery here. X

Quick bite at lunch time, I wanted to take advantage of the government eat out to help - not sure if the discount was applied as it cost £13.55 for 2 small deli slices of pizza, 2 lemonades, 2 brownies and a small coffee. Food was nice. Had to eat out of the paper bags, no plates supplied. Seating area is clean but busy.

Excellent sour dough bread and pies. Someone obviously takes a lot of pride in their work - thank you

Bought a sourdough loaf to take back to our holiday accommodation, we really enjoyed it. Staff were very friendly which is always nice nowadays. Shame we don’t have a Reeves where we live!

They have a very good selection of breads and other goodies. Staff are excellent and helpful. Always buy bread here every week. Not cheap though!

This baker has a number of locations in the south. The shop in Ringwood is in the main High Street and last time there I bought some lovely cheese straws. They also sell bread, cakes, sandwiches and savouries to take away. I can highly recommend the cheese straws which I took away and ate for lunch.

Title says it all. Great bakers, lovely bread and cakes and sit in cafe area. Apple Danish very tasty. Good prices.

Rumbling tummies meant an early lunch stop. Good mix of classic and novel sandwiches and baked goods. Very tasty. Good tea pots and friendly staff.

We popped in for lunch in Ringwood and had to struggle through all the items that were not available, before we found something that was. Bear in mind this was at 12.30, hardly late for a lunchtime. I think they could do a lot better,....

As Reeves is a chain, it adheres to fairly strict hygiene and baking practices. The quality of the food is consistently good also. You know what you're getting when you purchase food here.

An excellent stop off on our trip with a Harley Davidson Electro Glide. HD Fat Boy and a BM RT (the Beast of the Alps). Good service and value for money. Good coffee and sausage rolls. Staff friendly, cheerful and efficient (commando training obvs!) Thank...

Although there is a small Café upstairs,I have only ever used Reeve’s as a takeaway. Find the sandwiches & cakes to be ok to good and with a very good selection. Good selection of bread & particularly like the sourdough bread.

There were 5 of us, We had 2 of the "tea for two." The cakes were a very poor selection and were mostly left. I mentioned this the man in charge and he just shrugged his shoulders.

Sat in the cafe had sausage roll which was Luke warm and beans, obviously cheap brand as runny. I was watching the staff bringing the rolls being made in the kitchen and being bought through the cafe with no cover on them. The staff stopping...

I never buy our bread anywhere else. The little cafe at the rear of the shop is delightful as is the food and drinks which are served. We especially love their "seeded sourdough" and although I'm a jolly good baker myself I love their Apple...

Not great service-meals ordered together and out at different times. Sour dough toasty was tasty but cost £5.17-bit excessive for tuna, cheese and two slices of tomato. Looked nothing like the giant poster next to our table! Malteser slice has cheap version of maltesers on...

We were given this baker's name to try the sourdough bread and what a find. Absolutely lovely. White and wholemeal, large and small. Try it you will not want any other make. Be aware, if you visit the shop, the food on display is mouth...

Decided to try this cafe for first time yesterday. It was very popular with those buying and taking away sandwiches and snacks at lunchtime. That indicated the quality of their products being purchased by local people. The cafe is at the back and has limited...

Were looking around Ringwood on market day and wanted a coffee, etc. This shop looked good so went inside. The staff were friendly and food and drinks very good. Would certainly stop here again.

Stopped in Ringwood for lunch on route to somewhere else, liked the look of this place so went in. Wife and I enjoyed a baguette and toastie. I also had a cake. Food was fresh and tasty. Coffee good.

Great little bakers shop and cafe, they serve lovely cakes sandwiches and pastries, so if you are looking for a snack and a great cup of coffee this is the place.

I purchased a rare beef sandwich to take away. It was a major disappointment. The filling was meagre and virtually tasteless. The bread was OK but overall the sandwich was a real let down and not worth the £2.95 it cost.

C Q N = Clean Quick Nice, staff very helpful sandwiches good selection and nice, plenty pf choice, no a large cafe but very comfortable. Tea was good as well

The Bakery shop downstairs is clearly popular and serves fresh sandwiches and pastries etc ... Then we noticed that a narrow staircase at the side led upstairs to a seating area where yo may enjoy fresh coffee, cold drinks, pastries, cakes, fresh made sandwiches etc...

Lovely sandwiches, cakes, pies pasties etc. The staff are friendly and the cup of tea is worth its weight in gold.

The coffee shop upstairs is a real gem, but for some reason it's never staffed properly and the food can take ages. With some proper resourcing this could be a proper asset and somewhere people would actively seek out to eat at.

You can buy food here, to eat away from the shop, or go above the shop to the cafe. Easy going selling all types of cakes, and good coffee / tea. Small with few seats.

Visited for afternoon tea based on Tripadvisor reviews and was unfortunately disappointed. On arrival in upstairs cafe we were greeted by a rather poor display of cakes and sandwiches including a lacklustre wonky cake stand containing the afternoon tea. We ordered Tea for Two at...

This popular bakery has a delicious selection of light eats both sweet & savoury. The special low GI multigrain rolls can be made up to order so I felt particularly healthy choosing a high protein bacon, egg & tomato on a toasted low GI roll...

Lovely cakes. Very busy shop.The range of breads is good, wish I'd had room for a sandwich as they looked delicious.

Been in here a few times,it's a bakery downstairs ,the cafe is upstarrs,do really lovely cream tea,& really fresh sandwiches.its good quality.&not expensive.

It may be part of a chain, and not quite what you find en vacances en France, but we love the bread and cakes on offer here. Worth a visit.

On a trip to Winchester we popped into this lovely little upstairs tea room. Great choice of cakes and sandwiches. We chose coffee & cake at a bargain £3.95. The young staff were both efficient and polite. Would thoroughly recommend.

Great Sausage rolls worth a mini detour for the experience. Young friendly staff. Often there is a queue but quickly dispatched.

Although it may be hard to find something healthy to eat in reeves, everything is yummy. Simple british pies, pastries, sandwiches, doughnuts, cream cakes ETC. Be sure to check upstairs for a seat by the window, lovely for people watching. The soup is also always...

Stopped here for a quick bite, had a lovely egg roll and a slice of scrummy rainbow cake!! Wish I had brought a piece to bring home with me.

Very good baker for bread and cakes and also for hot lunch items. They do a good range of traditional bakes including ginger bread men, lardy cakes, chelsea buns etc. They can slice any loaf for you and their sourdough bread is the best in...

Needed somewhere to eat so decided on reeves as I was just outside at the time. The front window was so inviting as it was decorated with an Easter theme. Little eggs and chicks which showed someone had taken time to promote their shop to...

Used at lunchtime to buy sandwiches and pasties. Has a good selection of both. Also does cakes but I have managed to resist thus far but they do look rather tasty.

Got the birthday cake for my daughter ,what a lovely was it,everyone enjoyed it ,specially birthday girl!!!!! Thanks for making my daughter birthday so special .

The sausage sourdough roll was hot and tasty with a generous filling. The bread was a little chewy, but not off-putting. Very pleasant female staff members. Nice coffee. The stairs to access here may put people off, but the cosy atmosphere made up for the...

Great place to visit. Great staff and great food. Nice cosy seating area great choice for all the family

Forget Greggs, come to this excellent local bakery who serves a range of artesan breads, cakes and traditional Wiltshire-style pasties (I believe they also have one in Wiltshire). Real cups of British-style tea with the best lardy-cake in the New Forest.

I first went here for a bread roll during my daughter's visit to the university. The roll was good but on their display I saw a large seeded sourdough which I bought and took home to Dorset. Wonderful. I've just been up to the Christmas...

My kids best place for chocolate brownie. !! Yummy croissants too. Worth visit for coffee and Sandwich.

Having walked around Winchester - fancied a cuppa - so tried this place, it wasn't busy so we were served promptly, staff OK and tea was good, would I return again? probably not.

We weren't expecting much but what we got was fabulous. The service from Charlotte was wonderful. The food was really very good, we had the 'tea for two' and it was such good value for money. The location on the High Street is very handy...

The food here is to be recommended not only in quality and price but also the range and helpful staff

What an excellent tea for two! The lady serving even gave me a second coffee for free! Certainly recommend calling in for this, as the cakes with it are great.

Good selection of mid range baked goods. Always busy at lunch times. Something for all the family. Eat in or take away.

Freindly staff.Food average much like Greggs.Just another bakers cafe.Pity really as they could do so much more as the competition is not too great in the vicinity.

Went here on a recent visit to Winchester cathedral, having read the reviews on trip advisor. Was probably expecting too much, didn't think it was anything exceptional. Coffee was ok, room quite tight on space.

Relaxed environment, reasonable prices and top quality bakery products. I would recommend the 3 cheese straws for £1.60 deal.

This is a very busy Bakers, selling some of the best bread and cakes, lots baked on site.A small cafe above that serves excellent tea and coffee.

my favourite Ringwood bakers, lots of choice for cakes, savouries or breads. Quality food, fresh and tasty. Also a coffee shop here too.

Two rounds of sandwiches, crisps, salad garnish, selection of cakes, and two pots of tea - all for £8.99! That's just under £4.50 each. Got to be the best value around!

What a great little bakery! I'm never disappointed with the quality, price or service and I keep coming back for more! The sourdough loaves are better than any you will find in the supermarkets and their lardy cakes are to die for!! The staff are...

Having grown tired of the formulaic coffee served by the better known chains in Winchester, we ventured upstairs in Reeves to see what their coffee shop could offer. What a pleasant surprise. As a bakery, our expectations of their pastries was high and we were...

Another delightful little spot to find, like so many in UK. One knows it is a commonly known local spot but still feels like you have found a delightful secret.

Reeves is a really good example of a good Baker / Snack Bar Their cheese straws are great and we often buy them when we are in town.

Excellent tea of coffee,not spacious but relaxed.Excellent service and a good selection of snacks. One small issue, it is accessed by some narrow stairs, so not suitable for disabled people may find this a problem.

Overpriced undercooked food. £4.70 for a sausage roll and a pizza slice! Either people in the area have too much money or this company likes taking the Mickey out of people

Visited for lunch today, one person serving a queue out the door. Everything looked amazing so I was hopeful. I ordered coronation chicken focaccia and for a rather steep £3.30 was expecting something amazing. I opened the roll having taken away to find no more...

After walking out of Debenhams as they had no decent soup flavours or Jacket Potatoes we stumbled across Reeves - At first when we saw the stairs we really weren't too sure what the upstairs would be like ( they were very narrow), but there...

This small cafe above the bakers was a real find after visiting the Great Hall the tea was very good and my friend said her hot chocolate was too the young gentleman who served us was very helpful and polite and although this cafe doesn't...

If only this was a bit bigger, biggest criticism is not enough tables / space. Great tea for two which is a bargain (loved by 2 sons as there are sandwiches, crisps and cake - I have the tea!). Feels properly old fashioned, great service...

Traditional bakery right in the middle of the high street,it is located a few shops down from the Butter cross statue in the High street. All the usual lovely bakery goodies are on offer, their filled Ciabata's are particularly good. A great alternative to a...

Yesterday we went to Winchester to sample the delights of the craft market. That was great. Stopped for a bite to eat and chose reeves coffee shop. Tea for two was brilliant. Two rounds of mixed sandwiches from a wide range of fillings plus 3,...

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the restaurant area has been improved . There is a much cosier, quieter ambience and the acoustics have been much improved. Freshly baked rolls, (try the low-GI multi-seeded rolls) a variety of delicious breads & cakes have always...

Staff great, products ok. Think you should sell off all products off at the end of the day not wasting it

Pop in regularly and grab a breakfast roll with a coffee. Loved the special price they ran £3 for a while which I think was the right price. Staff are always fantastic, smile and happy. My only comment is that the prices seem to be...

Lovely baguettes and focaccia for lunch - the crispy bacon and egg is particularly good. Generously filled, good value. Excellent selection of cakes and pastries. Brilliant cheese straws - fresh and warm. Lovely job.

Can't knock this for the price. Lovely small cafe just above the bakers looking out onto Winchester high street, right in the centre of town. Lovely coffee and very good prices for cakes and pastries. Would have been easier without the pushchair as it is...

Twice in one day my family and visited we were so impressed. Great service, polite at all times, smiles on faces. Food was well priced, good quality and very tasty. Try their jackets with ham and coleslaw just lovely. Coffee that tastes of .... Yes...

This is where I buy them .. Good value and jolly tasty. Savouries as well... And they open really early...

I love getting a ham salad roll and a cream cake from Reeves to go and sit in the Cathedral grounds on a warm sunny day. It is alot cheaper than getting it from a supermarket or getting a macdonalds and tastes alot better!

Although this is a bakery, it is also a good place you can go to for a sit down lunch or tea. It is in the centre of Winchester, in the High Street, so is near to every amenity. There are a few tables upstairs...

I have been buying from and eating in this place for 15+ years and it's consistently good. Doesn't promise a lot but delivers consistently. Their breads and takeaway stuff are excellent, and the cafe upstairs is a bit small but has nice coffee and decent sized portions. The staff are always friendly too - it can get to meltdown if it's really busy. It's part of a small chain based in Salisbury.

Me & my family have used Reeve the baker Winchester for a couple of years now on a regular basis, i personally haven't been in for a few weeks but went in today and there seems to have been a real change for the better,...

Nowt special. Really. Soup of the day was a touch greasy. Pannini was pancake flat. Pasty was without evidence of pieces of meat. 'Waitress' was a touch surly. But fed watered and warm for less than £20 for 4. But at the risk of bleating...

We called in for sandwiches and drinks while shopping at the Winchester Christmas market. I asked for a decaf coffee and was told they only had instant in the form of the tiny sachets they give you free at hotels. Okay, I said, but could...

I often buy lunch to take away from Reeves. All there food is good but their pasties are the best I have ever had!

Perfect light lunch and bakery meal for two only £7.00 and that was more than enough two pots of tea two rounds of sandwiches and cake , that is brilliant value and quality and we would recommend to our friends
