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!

The homemade pasties & bread are delicious, but there isn't a wide choice, guess it takes time to make it all by hand. Give him a go! You won't be disappointed.

Set up and run by a former chef, Patrick Moore (nothing to do with the astronomer), this is a…read moresuperb bakery producing sweet and savoury delights. The staff really know what they are doing, prices appear on the dear side but the goods you get are worth it. Famous for their 'Muddies', these are a chocolate based flapjacky sort of thing which have won top awards. Whats more it's very near to the Hawkshead Brewery, Staveley also has a train station so you can soak the ale up with some of the bakery's produce and not worry about driving home.

Ellie's is slightly misleadingly named as it isn't a place that primarily bakes bread which is what…read moreI'd imagined when I first came here. Most of the (very tasty) loaves are bought in from the nearby Lunesdale Bakery - although Ellie's do make their own cakes and scones. There is a small attractive tearoom inside the shop with a lovely view of the nearby fells and it always seems quite full. Lunchtimes are busy and there is often a queue for pasties and sandwiches. Bread sells out very quickly here so don't leave it too late if you're holidaying in Sedbergh and plan to buy a loaf! Upstairs, Ellies has a room for local alternative therapists, so you can always ease the stress if you do run out of bread.

The pies came with a cheese and herb mash and mushy peas. The salad came with toast and a large selection of vegetables of your choice. For the 4 meals plus a pot of tea and 2 soft drinks the cost was £20. The service was excellent with all staff very polite and helpful. We then ordered a egg custard tart and a vanilla slice which were traditional, large, filling and lovely. A truly traditional pie and mash shop - excellent quality and taste!
