Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Taylor's for making the most amazing cake for my wife's…read more50th last Sunday. I only called in on the Saturday, more in hope than expectation, but the Young lady that served us was so helpful. We picked up the cake on the Sunday morning.. and it was perfect! Everyone has since fed back to us that it was the best cake they ever tasted.. Thank you once again.. i'll never go anywhere else for cakes again!!!

I genuinely cannot recommend this bakery highly enough. The quality of the food is just amazing…read more(this accounts for the queues out of the door and into the street every lunch time). There is not one thing on the menu that doesn't make your mouth water. This is a bakery with a difference. Not only does it sell the most delicious cakes and pastries - but it also seels the cakes and pastries that other shops long ago stopped making! The range covers apple danish slices (my own personal favourite), to lemon meringue pie slices, carrot cake, chocolate muffins, malteser crunch cakes and their speciality Dickson Road cakes, invented 60 years ago for the daughter of the family. The savoury pies, pasties and sandwiches are all incredible. They use the absolute BEST ingredients and as somebody who will not eat meat products for fear of finding a bit of gristle, you should see me wolf down their sausage rolls and lamb hotpot! The hotpot is available in single portions, 6 person trays or 10 person trays and can be bought hot or taken home and oven baked. They also do incredible cakes (at short notice too!) for any event you can think of. Their home delivery party/buffet service has an extensive menu and is always delivered on time and with a happy, smiling face. Not only do they provide plastic cutlery free of charge but also paper tablecloths, napkins and even a binbag to clear up afterwards! It is also the cheapest bakers I have ever bought from - how they make a profit on some of the items I will never know. If you ever find yourself in Cleveleys, PLEASE try this bakery. Treat yourself to hotpot and toffee cake and you will never look back!

The potato and meat pies from Beans are known to anybody and everybody who has ever visited…read moreCleveleys. They claim not to have changed the basic recipe in 100 years and you can really taste the difference! Truly the greatest pies ever tasted. The shop is a little old-fashioned and the food tastes like good, honest, homecooked goods. The cakes may not all be uniform in size - like those mass produced in factories for supermarkets - but nor do they taste like they have just rolled off a production line and into a cellophane wrapper. A selling point at Beans is the fill your own trifle dish. You take along your own trfle dish and they fill it with goegoeus jelly and custard goodness. What could be more simple or more tasty? Please don't be put off by the staff - you will NEVER see any of them crack a smile! It is a running joke with locals that if ever beans employs a happy, smiling new counter assistant the customers always mutter she won't last long. I've no idea why they are all so sullen but my grandad maintains that it has been like that ever since he was a boy - so maybe it is tradition now!

WOW! Its been a while since I have bought bread this good before. We stumbled across this real…read morebakery when we were on the search for the cheese shop and it is right next door. We spoke to the baker and he told us it was all part of the same business, the bakers and the cheese shop and the bakery had outgrown the building and was soon to be moving a mile or two up the road. Anyhow, we walked through the front door and were amazed at the wonderful display of freshly baked breads available to buy. From super open textured, crunchy baguettes to heavy sourdough and super soft farmhouse loaves, stilton and walnut bread, oily foccaccia and on and on. There was also a small selection of sweets such as really nutty brownies, pain au chocolat and danish. Everything looked so good, it took us forever to narrow down our choices. We ended up buying four loaves of bread and two cakes. All were beautiful and very tasty which is a big lack in most of today's crappy supermarket breads which people have become accustomed. My favourite was the baguette, it really was out of this world. The breads were a little pricey but WELL worth it. And the place is definetly worth a visit!

I've heard of Dutch ovens before but the less said about that, the better. So imagine my shock/delight when I visited the lovely Dutch Bakery in Birkdale and found that not only do they do a fair bit of baking, but it's delicious too. This cosy little shop just outside of the immediate village area offers a great selection of freshly baked pastries and cakes at an excellent price. Using home grown and local ingredients, each delicacy available there will have any sweet-toothed individual overdosing on sugar with unnerving regularity. There is also a fine selection of savoury treats for those of you with less of a desire for sugar and these are of a similar great quality, meaning the Dutch Bakery is definitely one to visit if you're in the area.
