Wigmores Bakery in Monmouthshire

We purchased some goodies from their stall during an event. The cob was rustic and delicious and the vegan sausage rolls are probably the best we've ever eaten. Unfortunately we didn't have the chance to try the yummy looking cakes because the dog stole them from the kitchen worktop. Due to the cake containing currants, we then had a horrible time at the vets waiting to see if this had impacted on her kidney function. I messaged the bakery for information about the ingredients of the cake and they were super helpful. They continued to show compassion and interest in the welfare of our pooch, who thankfully came out the other side healthy. They were even kind enough to offer us some free cake. Hoping we can visit in person one day.

We all remember where were were during the millennium bug crisis in late 1999. Or when we found out Ricky Martin was gay. But where were you when you first tasted the heaven sent baked delight for the first time? It's been nearly 40 years of searching for that childhood memory, taking me back to sitting in the front seat of a Saab, as my mother went and got me a ham salad roll and a can of something exotic from a bakery in town. A memory I have become reacquainted with recently... 20 or so years ago i was a lad about town. Making terrible life decisions about girls, homework, hair styles etc. I'd mooch around the town glaring at myself in shop windows to ensure my youthful appearance was up to scratch in case any of the Haberdasher's ladies were about. But my attention was soon taken away from my putrid reflection when I looked into the Wigmores window one lunchtime. The place was busy. Very busy. Buyers, servers, cakes, delights all being frantically moved from one side of the bakery to another. I sampled one or two items that day and was pleased to call it my favourite bakery. Fast forward to today, the ravages of old age and children have ensured I duck the reflective windows - oh to be a vampire. My reflection has aged like a congealed quiche, but I am delighted that whilst the busyness of Wiggies has dampened down, the products and service are still excellent. To have the happy memory presented to me in a paper bag just a few weeks ago was magical. The only problem was, it was my son's lunch and no amount of pleading, bribery, or threat of TV sanctions would make him release the bap from his sticky wet fingers. I did manage a solitary bite (a grown up size one, obviously), and that was enough to take me back... ahhhhh There are lots of bakeries and outlets these days. Wiggies is one that's worth the effort to visit. The generous selection and welcoming service are a delightful change to many other places in our towns and cities. It won't make you more alluring (well, it might?!), nor will you regain your youth, but it can make you happy... what more do you want?!

Discovered this bakery whilst we were on a stop over to break up a long drive home. I had heard of Bara Brith, a Welsh tea loaf whilst on holiday in West Wales, but could not find it anywhere. I popped into this bakery and there it was ! It was moist and delicious, now back in England I can't find it anywhere, if you have not had it and you are in Monmouth pop in and pick up a loaf (or two) it is fantastic with butter on it and a nice cup of tea.

Wow! Wow! Wow! another fantastic example of wonderful customer service from Louise and her team. Delivered a fabulous package of baked goodies to my mother-in-law for a Mother's Day treat. Both in-laws thrilled with the variety and quality of what was received. Package included a Victoria sponge, cherry bakewells, loaf of bara brith, treacle tart, cookies, quiche, sausage rolls, cornish pasties. Very reasonably priced too. Highly recommended.

This weekend Wigmore's Bakery made me a wonderful Harvest loaf for our Messy Church and Harvest Festival in St Arvans Church, Monmouthshire. It looked and tasted superb.......sorry I forgot to take a pic! I will ring Wigmore's on Monday to congratulate them on a job well done! Verena Evans : Church Warden

we've been here several times and always go back when we're in Monmouth. We always get lovely service with beautiful bread, cakes pasties etc on offer - we like the coffee here too. Don't expect anything posh because you are in a working bakery. Well worth finding we think.

Wonderful cakes in an atmospheric setting . Not the warmest welcome but the quality and value makes it well worth a visit .

Wow, why is this place not more popular? May be because it’s not on the beaten track for us tourists, but not being a fan of the national chains, we found this up by the Church and boy was it good. It is really a bakery, but it does have some sea5s for drinks and you can get a handmade sarnie or be tempted by one or maybe two of their delicious cakes at ridiculously low prices. I had a massive piece of of treacle tart which was delightful and yes, I did feel sick by the time I had finished it. I also had a hot chocolate, a glass of steaming hot milk and a load of chocolate pieces that you drop in, they melt, you stir, then drink, de-lici-ous. A hidden gem and well worth seeking out even if you just want a sarnie or a 🍰

I remember this bakers from years ago. It is tucked away from the main shopping areas but is a gem. I love the small independent bakers and this place is just as I remember it.

This really is a little hidden gem, tucked away in a winding side street - it’s a proper old fashioned bakery with a couple of tables. We grabbed a lovely pot of tea and my partner had a well filled sausage which he said was delicious whilst I had a slice of Battenberg - as good as my mums ( sorry Mum) . This place makes such a refreshing change from the Costa’s and Prets ,not to mention the rather set dressed independents - this felt truly authentic

Four of us called in here to buy packed lunches while we were walking Offa's Dyke Path which goes right by the door. What a refreshing change from the normal meal deal offerings by the chain shops. Wiggies did their own version of a meal deal which included a sandwich/baguette, bag of crisps, drink and one of their cakes (I had flapjack and it was delicious). The lady behind the counter was very cheerful and helpful. This is just like bakeries used to be.

Came here while in Monmouth and having read the reviews I bought 2 teacakes at £1.00 each....fair price I thought The teacakes were hard and lacked any flavour The elderly lady who served me was a miserable and was only interested in closing up the shop rather than serve me....taking cakes and others off the counter. Extremely disappointed considering the previous reviews

Smells just like all local bakeries did in my childhood, memories came flooding back. A very friendly welcome and engaging conversation to customers. Freshly baked and made egg mayo roll, Chelsea bun & sausage roll were all excellent. My only regret . . . . . not living nearer Monmouth to go in more often.

I've used "Wiggies" for our fresh bread and weekly cake treat for a couple of years. It's only recently that I’ve had a take away sandwich, they are brilliant! Bacon and brie! You have to give it a go, warm fresh bread, brie just the right temperature and perfect amount of cranberry bacon was amazing.

The smell of fresh baking lingers outside this small place and draws you in. Coffee and cake a must. Excellent.

Service was great, cakes were the best we had all holiday and so so reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit!!

Me alegro mucho de que nos las arreglamos para encontrar esta panadería escondido local. Comprar pasteles galeses y Barabrith que eran tan buenos. No visitar, comprar y apoyarlo. Me dijeron que son la última panadería abierta de las 4 que solía ser en Monmouth. Para encontrarlos hacia la iglesia y el cine savoy pasado encontrar en el derecho como usted!

Un salto aquí regularmente para pan - llegar antes de comer para conseguir una recogida de las opciones. El jueves es un gran día para el pop, ya que tienen un montón de sus panes saborizados (con nueces y pimientos, etc.) muy, muy sabroso!

Paramos aquí para el brunch en nuestro camino a la Brecon Beacons - una encantadora, panadería tradicional con una gama de opciones para el desayuno, el almuerzo y brunch. Un gran servicio y una buena relación calidad-precio. Sin mucho antes tienen nuestras calles llenas de lugares como este que Costa, Starbucks, etc.

My Dad is a regular here, and I've collected a few loaves for him. They seem to take old-fashioned pride in doing good bread and some tasty sandwiches and meals. I've been meaning to try their pork-rolls for a while, if they still do them,

"Wiggies", como es conocido por todos los vecinos ha estado allí para siempre. Me recuerda a una panadería que puedes encontrar en Francia, no estropeado por el progreso. El interior parece algo fuera de Dickens y a juzgar por todas las bandejas que obviamente hornear una montón de pan y en todo tipo de formas y tamaños. Vamos allí principalmente para comer un sándwich con una sopa o un pasty, que son todos caseros. Bien merece una visita, pero un poco fuera del circuito turístico, en la calle Calle De María, a mitad de camino entre las dos iglesias de la calle de María.

A menudo la parada en Monmouth para abastecerse de harina pan y lavabo un café rápido y un pan delicioso. Una joya hoy en día.

A stale sandwich (which I didn't know before I purchased it ) and the lady behind the counter with the dark hair, is so miserable, not a please or thanks from her, wont be going in there again, would rather use the other sandwich shop on church street who have very pleasant staff

Great place to get fresh bread, bread that actually tastes like bread! Cakes are just as good and there is a great selection.Give it a go !

Very friendly staff and a nice place, They serve the best iced doughnuts around. Would recommend, can get busy on weekends though.

been many times to this bakery when staying at friends in Monmouth as they use it daily, it is very busy, the Swansea bloomer is amazing & also the almond bakewell when just cooked it just mouth watering

Whilst searching for a nearby antique shop (since closed down) we decided to drop in for a quick lunch snack. Very friendly staff served us with slices of pizza, coffee etc. to eat in and I could not resist the cakes on offer. Bread looked very tempting and it was nice to see a steady stream of (local) customers.

A hidden gem. Worth seeking out for coffee and cakes. Good bread too. Much better than the large chain coffee houses in Monmouth.

Make the best fresh bread in Monmouth. Go there most days to pick up a fresh loaf! Go support your local bakery!

We buy bread from Wigmore's on a daily basis. It's fab! Great staff and excellent service. Coffee's not bad either.

Don't go up this end of town that often but when I do I just have to get some fresh bread from here, best early morning as it sells out really fast. Also a cafe and take away service, filled rolls, coffee, cakes etc

We were a group of people staying nearby as part of our Offa's Dyke walking week.We were in the vicinity for only a couple of mornings so used this Bakery to buy our lunch for the day ahead.The choice is great....including a choice of white or brown rolls....the fillings were imaginative and fresh!The cakes and all other yummy bits around were too much of a temptation to resist....so, we didn't.....resist that is!!...just as well we were going to be walking this off!I wish I had a Bakery like this near where I live.....but, I think I could gain stones in weight in a very short time....so maybe it's as well they are NOT on my doorstep!Gorgeous staff too....friendly, good looking and smiley!Keep up the good work!

The range of produce this bakery sells is so lovely! Everything is fresh and tastes great at good prices! The farmshop at Chepstow garden centre and the little shop in Redbrook also sells certain loaves etc so that is very handy! Never been disappointed! Lovely staff too!

I'm a regular customer and am delighted with their range of breads, cakes and pastries. Every now and again they have a special offer of a slow roasted pork filled roll with stuffing and apple sauce plus - and this is the amazing bit- a cake all for £3. But get there early or you will be disappointed.

Lovely old fashioned bakery offering quality bread and cakes. They also do coffee and snacks which is rather good as it is not quite in the centre of town and so is often quieter.

Wiggies, as it's called, is AMAZING - a huge range of traditionally baked breads - Rustique + sourdough are my favourites, though not available on Mondays as they take 36 hours to prove + the bakers take a well deserved night off on Saturdays. The range is particularly large on Fridays/Saturdays + the products are completely different from the supermarket stuff. Then there's traditional cakes like Barabrith + pastries + filled rolls + other lunchtime snacks. There are a few tables for you to eat in + excellent coffee. I am really lucky to live close by + have this wonderful bread freshly baked.

I go here every three or four days, great selection of breads and cakes. If you go for a Chelsea bun then go for the ones in the middle!

I found the staff less than helpful and the cookies we bought disappointing. We haven't been back as a result.

Wonderful little old-fashioned bakery serving excellent coffee and lunchtime sandwiches, hot & cold. A little off the beaten track (round the corner past the Studio cinema) but one of those one-off places that you don't forget. Great bread and cakes, of course, made right there (you can see the ovens round the back) but don't miss the hog-roast sandwich!
