It was a member of staff in another shop that recommended this place and boy was she right. They were just so helpful and had samples of colour dust etc so you could try the colours. I am no expert but they were so approachable and gave me tricks of the trade and really good tips on how to use things from the larder although they have a terrific range of reasonably priced stock in the shop. I can't thank them enough for all their help & encouragement. They make the most amazing cakes for Weddings, Birthdays, Christmas etc. I also saw some wonderful Chocolate Shoes !!!!! amongst their Chocolate creations. I have overheard them giving the most intricate advise on how to make a wedding cake to someone doing DIY but they will make any cake to your own individual specification. They also hold classes. So whether your making it yourself or want something really Special made for your Wedding do visit them, I know they will help.

My husband decided we should go for breakfast on our anniversary since we were looking for something light that we could walk to. Their opening time was listed as 9:30am (Sunday) on their website, but we arrived at 9:30 only to find out it didn't actually open until 10am. We waited around half an hour while we watched some employees fiddle around inside. When they finally opened, we ordered some croissants and coffee and a smoothie. We were informed that none of the croissants were baked yet, and that it would take 10 minutes. We decided to go ahead and wait a bit longer for them since we had already invested 30 minutes into this plan. It took 10+ minutes to get the drinks out to us, and I ended up having to walk home with our baby (it was naptime) and leave my husband to bring the croissants home. Well, 45 minutes later, he finally received the croissants, one of which was black from being burned. We were pretty dissatisfied we the the whole experience. The only redeeming factor was that the drinks at least did taste good.

I was surprised to find Warren's Bakery off-the-grid at London Gatwick North Terminal in Horley…read more Catching a puddle jumper to Roma, I find myself at Gatwick one early morning, and in search of a bite. Several options, but I notice Warren's Bakery and with a line too. I'll have a go... I decide to give Warren's a try as I stand in line and peruse the menu. Heck, why not just look in the case instead. Lot's of choices but I choose the meatiest looking bite - The English Breakfast Stack Roll (5.99£). I choose the most chocolatey - The Chocolate Croissant (2.10£). I choose the fruitiest - Mango Passion Smoothie (2.99£). That's my English breakfast to start my day before I slay the day in Roma. The cashier was very polite and cute AF Hermione Granger sorta way. I grab a seat... As I truly enjoy my very hardy breakfast I couldn't help but google "Warren's Bakery" website and it starts of... "Our story began 160 years ago in St Just, Cornwall, with a shared love of baking between a farmer's son and baker's daughter. The Warrens Bakery recipes have been passed down generation after generation, and are still in use today. If you walk into one of our shops 160 years later, you'll still enjoy the fresh smell of Traditional Cornish Pasties baking in the oven. Warren's Bakery, Since 1860." Whoa! Talk about English lineage! All in all, I enjoyed my breakfast at Warren's Bakery. I paid about 11£ (approx $13.70 usd) total for a hardy bite. Not too shabby being at an airport. Alas! ...I didn't get to meet the baker's daughter! However, I did get a smile from cute AF Hermione Granger! Wingardium Leviosa! Ta! Ta!

Every single time there is a different pastry to try (or so it seems), along with cakes, sausage rolls (normal or spicy), chocolate, macrons (so many varieties - my favourite being salted caramel) and the most amazing different kinds of bread. Everything he sells is made the morning before the bakery opens and there is a limited amount. Once it's sold out its sold out! There are a few small tables and a sofa and it can get quite busy at the weekends. The guy who runs the place is very nice, as is all the staff. We love to sit down, order food and drinks, relax then take home tons of stuff to eat throughout the day! X

Years of enforced poverty forced me to seek out the Tesco Value 'blue stripe' - my larder looked like the Brighton and Hove Albion home stand for years! Their bread was especially vile. It was 9p a loaf & I felt cheated. It was like candy floss! Time moves on and those debts were settled. All that remains is my irrational hatred of thinly sliced white bread. So I go here. Wholemeal, granary, low GCI (whatever that is!) or seeded: I'm a 'regular' guy & I intend to keep it that way!!! These guys are Artisans of the first order & their bread rocks. I could eat it all day long but I need to make space & time for their taste-tastic Millionaires (you know, biscuit base, caramel & choc, the size of half a sandwich ideally!!!) too.

After several Google services, I came across Dotty's website, it is well put together and really grabbed my attention Seeing Dotty's in real life was like a dream. The establishment is beautifully decorated and you can tell the owner really invested in the place and the people who work there. There is a pink bicycle parked outside, the establishment is pink, the decor is very elegant--perfect for a photo op I opt to do the afternoon tea with Prosecco added on as well as some scones to go. It was a very fair price per person. Under £80 for the entire experience for 2 people. They also sell other assorted desserts, shakes and cakes All the employees were attentive, they explained in detail what our package came with and they made sure we were happy from start to finish. EVERYTHING was delicious! From the English tea down to the Pimms jello HIGHLY RECOMMEND 10/10!!

I stumbled on the listing while doing a search for tea places before I left Washington, DC to travel to London. Unfortunately I didn't make the reservation myself (relied on family in London to make it) so we didn't get booked for the afternoon tea service as I'd hoped and just had a reserved table instead. Still, I indulged in some scones with cream and strawberry jam, paired with a strong cup of decaf English breakfast tea. The staff is very friendly and took the time to explain the drink and pastry options to us. I hope I get a chance to visit again for the full tea service before the end of my trip!
