Warren's Bakery in Plymouth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

So far only have 5 out of 7 orders correct on different days at different times, not once received an apology. One lady mimicked me when I asked for my order to be right as it hadn't the previous times. Get hurried along when it's your turn, heaven forbid should you waiver or pause or have issues with your card, no sympathy whatsoever (same lady who was taking the micky). Go to Greens restaurant instead, much nicer there.

Absolute rip off prices give the food to staff instead of discounting by a few pence your only going to throw it out anyway I've seen you do it

I purchased food through the ‘Too good to go’ website, to receive food that hadn’t sold at the end of the day. I have found Staff very helpful regarding good Customer Care. I have since visited for a drink and found Staff friendly and polite.

The prices are too high and the hot food is terrible, I had a pasty ,it was burnt and had very little filling, the potato wedges were heated in the microwave, were dry and tasted like they had been hanging around for a while, the meat feast pizza slice was dry and overcooked and you feel like you are in a cattle market when being served.

A good place to eat , if you need a hot drink or an iced coffee, pasty or a cold wrap . You can sit and wait with a coffee while waiting for an appointment or take away and sit in the sun . Staff are friendly and helpful.

This large West Country bakery chain is being restructured and five branches in Plymouth are being closed permanently this week including this shop cafe in the city centre. Warrens have disappointed for a long time and there is now just so much fierce competition. Other bakery cafes just a few doors along have also closed within the last year.

Visited deriford hospital had lunch in warrens medium pasty vegan sausage roll tea and flat white coffee £11 though she had made a mistake with the price but no she had not RIP OFF

Visit the hospital for work weekly and usually have a cup of tea, very busy shop with a great array of items but the area that lets the shop down sadly are the staff. A lot of staff there looking as though they are busy but actually making more work than reducing workload and making the experience pleasurable. Staff shouting over you and not even giving you the time of day. Simple things to fix.

Warrens at Derriford Hospital, yes you are busy but please remember that visiting a hospital is stressful enough, buying a coffee and snack shouldn't be ! I regularly have to visit with my son, I am pressured into making my choice by someone shouting at me from the till, when I did get there someone reached across me with 2 cups of coffee to give to the customer behind me, not acceptable, on paying I was not given the chance to pick up our food and put my change away before she was shouting for the next person, meanwhile a member of staff is just stood there.My pasty was burnt on the bottom and more pastry than filling and you are so expensive.

I don’t know who or how Warrens think that any of their pasties are at all traditional or even nice to eat?! The smell of the place is enough to put you off then you try a pasty which finishes you off! On a good note I love the staffs attitude very 1880’s and authentic misery, sadness and slow attitude everything you need to have that authentic 1880s experience. Miserable Pasties miserable staff miserable place

Now called Friary Mill. We popped in for a break from Christmas shopping and a quick bite to eat and we were pleasantly surprised. The place was scrupulously clean and despite being busy, service was very quick. Food was really, really good. Fresh from the oven and piping hot. We will most definitely be popping in again for lunch next time we are in town. Lovely staff, friendly and literally cannot do enough for you, A great little place to chill out, warm up and refuel.

I was visiting relations in Plymouth and they insisted I try a shop-bought Cornish Pasty. I dutifully ate it and politely complimented them, but in reality found it ordinary. The following day I was in Plymouth town and saw Warren's Bakery. Its blurb says, "You are eating a piece of history.." and claims to be the oldest Cornish Pastry maker in the world, dating back to 1860. For all that, I again was unimpressed with my pasty.It comprised 80 percent stodgy pastry and an indeterminate filling of meat and potatoes. Altogether I found it dry and unappetizing, despite my best efforts to tart it up with ground pepper and salt, so in future I will leave them to Cornish Pasty afficionardoes. However, the Coffee Americano, black and unsweetened, was great and revived my spirits. The pasty was 3.95 pounds and the coffee was 2.10 pounds.

Used to be Warrens Bakery has been Friary Mill for at least last year Excellent service and speedy service Freshly cooked big breakfast, worth £5.70, Farmhouse breakfast same as big breakfast differences no hash browns but mushrooms and tomatoes Will return soon

I brought a pasty from this bakery on a Saturday lunchtime. But the pastry was not cooked through and amount of meat within was hard to find. Very disappointed. I would not recommend.

Does what it says on the tin. A good pasty at a good price. Good selection of flavours. Always busy.

Bought Medium meat pasty and some jam doughnuts for when I got home , To find the Pasty was Cheese & I only found Jam in one of the five in the packet , The one at derriford Hospital has got to one of The worst, Service is terrible Seating well I seen cleaner and This one actually in a Hospital pasties burnt on the bottoms ,,, Warrens really need to teach There bakers how to cook the pasties that must come from futher a field. Cakes made from Artificial Cake mix. Whats up Do you not know The ingredients to make proper cakes, You charge enough for them .

I bought two medium Steak pasties from Crownhill at lunch time today. I was on my way home from work and a nice quick pasty would of been great. When I got home and we started eating them that is when my enthusiasm hit rock bottom. The pastry was doughy and it looked insipid. I was determined to eat mine as it was not the cheapest of pasties. I am eating away and the worst thing that could of happened did, my tongue found a hair, a long hair that was caught across from one side of my mouth to the other. It went in the bid. A complete waste of money.

I paid £3.10 for a cheese pasty last week and it was even at that price more crust than contents. Will never buy from them again.

Really slow service and uninterested staff, can't see how this place will survive when costa opens in a few weeks.

Nice place for coffee and a sandwich and the best pasties.If your feeling really hungry they have lovely choice of cakes.

I cant find the Warrens on the broadway in Plymstock here but hopefully this will help. I went for a coffee there last week with a friend, we have both been in this industry and were shocked on how it was run...... the customers were wiping their own tables as not one of the staff could be bothered, I didnt see the staff once with a cloth in their hands but I did see a big roll of blue tissue on a table, the door to the washing area was open and and bins were overflowing, I think more staff are needed and a good manager, The window had old food in it but I think the flies were enjoying it, just a little TLC could help. Warrens spent money doing the place up only a few months ago I assume because Costa Coffee are arriving soon but I think they need more than a lick of paint to sort it out.......

Popped in here for a coffee and cake on day out. Both were good and service too.

With relatives in Derriford, Warren's is the main cafe situated near entrance. Now open 24 hours but service is still slow and not helpful. I had a cake and coffee and was disappointed with both service.

This has to be the worst place ever for pasties! We were in a rush and needed a quick bite to eat and regretted it for the hours to come with indigestion! The children were happy with the bacon slice and cheese and onion pasty but the traditional pasties and sausage rolls were disgusting (my husband is from the West Country so knows his pasties). The girl behind the till couldn't even raise a smile - yes, it was a Saturday but come on! A smile goes a long way!! They brag how they are the oldest Cornish Pasty makers in the world - well, they certainly are not the tastiest!!

Visited here last week and ordered 2 coffees, 2 cakes and medium Cornish pasty and a bacon roll for lunch. Whilst the coffees and cakes were good the same cannot be said for the roll and coffee. My husband had the pasty which was warm and not hot. He ate most of it but suffered all afternoon and evening with stomach cramps and diahorrea. The bacon in my roll was barely cooked so I took it back. It was returned to me without any apology but this time the bacon was very dry and burnt in parts making it more or less inedible.

Went in and bought three pasties. The price was reasonable and the pasties were really tasty! Would pop in again for a lunch on the go. Drinks were a little pricey but other than that, wonderful!

I have bought cakes in the Woolwell branch which were stale. I complained and got a voucher which I used in the Plymouth branch, got cakes which were stale also, gave up after that!

Contrary to some of the reviews on here, my boyfriend and I had a perfectly nice lunch here of a cheese and onion pasty and flapjack for him and an egg mayo roll and chocolate cookie for me. Good service and nice food with a nice decor inside.

Asked for ham and cheese roll. I have an allergy to margarine and butter so specifically asked whether the rolls had this, the lady told me no they didn't so I bought one and low and behold it did and I got sick :-(

They always claim to be the oldest producer of Cornish pasties and to have a wide range of 'artisan' products. Today I heard on local news that they had come out top in local and national pasty polls. So I came in to get a pasty and look at the rest of the range. Old Town St seems to be the main store in Plymouth although there are other branches in the city. I have to say that given all the publicity (it is after all a bit more than a trade puff) my beef pasty was a serious let down. The pasty was plain, the crust heavy to the point that I almost asked the server if she would trim it off, and the content was (and it's a matter of personal taste) over seasoned and the potato outweighed by swede or turnip. The overall mixture was a bit dry. Fortunately, unlike Dewdneys the whole was not over peppered, there was no sign of gristle, the content did not look murky grey and the pastry did not leave grease stains on my clothing or hands. Sadly though I can give Warren's no more than 2 out of 5.

Best bakery in Plymouth. Fast service and fantastic food. Good prices. Giant pasties are the way forward!

I LOVE Warren's ham and cheese rolls. They are simply divine. The ham is so very tasty. I don't really like pasties so can't say much about them but for sandwiches this is a great little place for lunch.

Now that we are finally getting better bread and pastries from comparatively new artisan bakeries like Jacka, Column Bakehouse and the place in the RWY there is a choice of good tasty well made bread, pasties and all the rest. Warren's has been long established, has a lot of branches and are often convenient to chain retail areas. There is nothing memorable about anything they sell. The effect of this side of Old Town St becoming almost exclusively cheap carry out or quick meal places is finally applying effective price and quality competition. Warren's will be pushed to match the other choices both at their own level and against the top quality a little further out.

Not many years ago, the Warrens in Old Town Street, Plymouth was my wife and I's favourite coffee shop, but this review is the culmination of a serious slide in the state of this restaurant/shop.

There are lots of branches of this bakery chain. I have visited the one at Old town St, and the one at Trago's Newton Abbot. The steak pasties are fantastic. the rest of the products are average.

Came into a branch in plymstock (Broadway Shopping centre) if I remember right. Ordered a Cheese and Onion Pasty, tea. Member of staff then pointed out for £5 I could get a pasty, cake and drink. So I opted for a Chelsea bun. The food was average, nothing special but edible. However, the decor of the shop could have done with a lick of paint, the ceilings were a horrible yellow colour and tables weren't exactly 'clean' either. Overall, would return but would have a look for some where to eat elsewhere first!

Visited both city centre and hospital branches, City Centre branch was for lunch, coffee was almost undrinkable and the cake seemed stale and dry. and was left after one bite.

This Warrens is a good place to sit in or outside as I prefer to sit and watch the world go by a couple mornings a week with a nice cup of coffee which compered with other coffee shops near by is a very reasonable price, but if buying food it is better to take it away because eating in can be expensive, pasties are better than others even if a bit more costly but worth it.

Dried out pastries cakes stayal and for wat u get its grows dont even bother with their coffee cold small cups and staff abliviouse to standereds think its ok get rid of stal stuff and u may b some wat ok

warrens is not the best bakery i have been too but it has to do seeings as its the closest bakey to my house. i had the sasauage wrapped in puff pasty but the sasauage tasted like it had been gone off so i wouldnt buy it from warrens again

These places are as bad as McDonalds and Burger King. The cause of obesity and overpriced. I hate that they throw away all the left overs and not provide it to local communities of the homeless.

excellent ploughmans sandwich, what can you say good taste good price.What more can you say but sometimes you buy a simple sandwich and it tastes of nothing the cheese was tasty not too strong the bread fresh tomato and pickle just right.

Warrens have long since lost the "quality family bakery" feel and their restaurant/cafes reflect that same lack of personal interest where quality is low and the price is as high as possible... Just because a company grows in size and has many outlets does not mean they should drop the ball and not bother to deliver a high quality product.

we were early for a hospital so decided to have a coffee in the derriford hospital branch around 4pm. Staff were rude and not helpful, we bought 2 imatation cream doughnuts, they were rock hard and crunchy, the coffee was undrinkable. i think the girl on the till was glued to the floor, didnt want to move. I used to run a coffee shop and i would never of allowed my staff to have attitudes like this.

Frankly I doubt it, or if so, it has yet to make itself known. The small Warrens chain is good average, there are even more bland and indifferent ones. Can't see why this one has been added to a city restaurant review section. Various sandwich, baguettes etc, electric drum with the days soup and some powerful microwaves. Add in some routine pastries and sticky buns. Doesn't make a quality enticing bakery based cafe.

This is part of a chain of Warrens' across the South West. I have found the pasties and sausage rolls to be fine, and the cakes generally OK too. The prices are, however, comparatively high in my opinion - £1.10 for a medium sausage roll etc. I only eat at Warren's when they have some sort of multibuy offer on as I feel unless this is the case they offer only average value at best. This branch in particular is clean and the staff are fine.
