You need to read my review of the Forfars in Brighton to know where this is coming from but…read more...anyway, I will carry on regardless. I love the eccles cakes from Forfars and the rest of their products look really good too- sandwiches, chelsea buns, sausage rolls- all good classic stuff at low prices. It's just the smell!! This Forfars smells just as stale and strange as the one in Brighton- like stale old oil. I still hold my breath and run in and buy eccles cakes though!

We went to Farfars to asked about a cake for my sons 18th birthday. They sat down with us and gave…read moreus a leflet of cakes of different styles and shapes. We chose a large square with a picture to be included sponge cake with black icing. I gave the photo in a week after the order. When I collected the cake was not sure what to expect but all I can say is OMG such a lovely cake, picure was super, the wording was iced so well, I did not want to cut it up. All my family and friends said how good this was. This was for a 18th party had plenty to go round. So well done and we shall use you again.

I mean as did everything, including the guy behind the counter, but really I wanted to buy everything. At home I was so impressed I had to post a 5 star review. Their bread tastes wonderful and is so flavourful. I already have a warm summer's day plan in mind revolving around buying a picnic worth of food from Flint Owl Bakery and sprawling over the race course. Perfect.

I first tried Flint Owl Bakery bread in Farm Cafe in Brighton. For me, it was the perfect bread, so…read morewhen I found out that they had opened a shop in Lewes I couldn't wait to visit. Flint Owl Bakery is based in Glynde in East Sussex. Here, they produce all their bread by hand, using little or no yeast, no preservatives or additives of any kind, and using very traditional processes. They specialise in sourdoughs but also do bloomers, wholemeal and granary loafs, and seasonal loafs depending on the time of year. As well as bread, they do a number of cakes and buns, and actually have a coffee shop on site although I didn't try it on this occasion. The bread truly is the best I have ever eaten. Bread can nowadays come with a bad reputation, but if you eat good quality bread like this without all the hidden extras, I don't see how it can possibly do you harm. The only downside is that it tastes so good it's impossible to stop at a slice or two! I would recommend the fig and walnut and the sea salt and rosemary. I plan to work my way through the other varieties asap. Go, buy, stock up your freezer, and never buy supermarket bread ever again!

Their pastries made daily in-house are simply irresistable, from fruit tarts, chocolate choux rolls to miniature pies, they're laden with lashings of cream. The extravagance of this kind of treat is certainly worth the extra pennies (around £2-3 each). The cafe itself has that classic Italian feel to it, with marble tables and a terrace outside to enjoy the summer days and some of their home made gelato and a coffee or if you're hungry their paninis are sure to be a hit too. I love this place.

I used to love the dinky doughnuts that they used to do for 5p a go although I do not know if they do these anymore. However, my pallet became more sophisticated and I now love the shortbread snowmen, they are fandabbydozy! (in the words of Lee Evans) The baker always says 'cheers, ta' once you have paid and it has always stuck in my head because it sounds like he really means it. The 6 bus stop stops just across the street otherwise if you do not have a car it'l probably be abit of a walk but if you are going to the bakery to scoff your face then excerise before and after might be a good shout.
