Grange Bakery

I really like Grange bakery but feel I have to let you know about my recent disappointing experience. On Friday I purchased a birthday cake which I had ordered several weeks ago. I went in to check the day before that everything was in order, the very helpful assistant read my order back to me. A lemon cake, to feed 10 people, fully fondant, iced in lemon and white, £48. My first disappointment was on collecting the cake, it had large pink flowers as well as lemon and white decoration. Not to be deterred, I looked on the bright side and delivered the cake to the special family party which was taking place in the NE. The cake was cut into, my daughter requested lemon cake, her favourite but to my absolute horror, it wasnt lemon, it was a vanilla sponge with jam and buttercream. I was so upset. I have to say there was no way of knowing what cake was inside the icing but I ordered lemon so that is what I thought I would have got! ....I would not have even ordered the cake if I thought my request could not have been fulfilled, I would have gone elsewhere. What was the point of the very helpful lady filling in the form and asking me all the questions ?? when who ever baked the cake never read it and just delivered what they thought I would want.07/07/24 I now need to add that following my review I have received a satisfactory resolution. Lesley Many thanks for sorting this out for me.

Excellent array of freshly baked goods excellent cakes & sandwiches, friendly & prompt staff

We walked into this little bakery to see a lovely selection of cakes and bakes. We ordered a vanilla slice from a lovely lady with dark hair. We were standing at the bar area opposite the counter to eat it as it was raining outside, the lovely lady who served us even offered to cut it in half for us. We began to tuck in and it was truly delicious. My enjoyment was ruined when I looked over the counter and the other staff member with a short bob hair cut was scowling at us, she then very loudly 'wispered' to her colleague that this is a take out place not an eating in place"

Fresh bread daily. Lovely home bakery. Got a sandwich crisps and drink on a meal deal. The fillings were more than plenty. Great value

A great little bakery, always stocked with a variety of freshly made cakes, bread, rolls etc. There is also a small salad bar and cooked meets are also available for anyone planning a picnic. The staff are friendly and helpful.

What a great shop.! We stopped here yesterday for a brew and a sandwich halfway along our 15 mile walk.( walking the bay cycle way over 6 days! 81 miles) the two ladies were really nice. Had a lovely chat. Not rushed at all. Really enjoyed our handmade sandwiches with the best home cooked ham ever. !! Thankyou.

Lovely little bakery with friendly and really efficient staff, both with a lot of personality. There's a good selection of traditional cakes, savory bakes and pasties, and a sandwich bar. Definitely decent value. Really authentic place, unlike other bakeries nowadays where things seem to be re baked from frozen!If you're looking for somewhere to stop to grab a bite a few minutes off the motorways, I'd definitely recommend here - there was street parking just across the road too.

First visit today. Had coffee and cake sat outside and both were great. Bought bread buns to take away and really enjoyed them. High quality … a true bakers and wish this was in my home town - a real asset to Grange.

We’d read on Trip Advisor that the croissants were stale but just assumed it was a one off or untrue. I mean, how could a bakery find it acceptable in any way to not sell freshly baked products? Well, it seems it wasn’t a one off. 2 almond croissants purchased from their counter on a Tuesday morning and they were like cardboard. The added star was for the friendly server, otherwise it would’ve been a one star review.
