Hobbs House Bakery

Went on a 1/2 day bread making course here. Jane was an excellent teacher, the facilities were great. I'd 100% recommend the bakery and the cooking school!

I ate bread. It was nice. In all seriousness, very nice. Except from the brownie which was too rich for my taste, everything is about a pound too expensive. Only slight nitpicks. Would buy again.

I buy their bread occasionally from a local shop to me - OK if you're after a mass-produced 'artisan' style loaf but it's not consistent quality and not what I'd call speciality bread (ie, in France you can easily get good delicious bread everywhere - it seems we cannot do it here?).Today I bought a six seed loaf that was undercooked - all for nearly a fiver! Never again.

Weve been coming to Hobbs for a number of years to buy bread and the occasional treat. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and we love the Tetbury loaf, our usual. Its so much nicer than supermarket bread! During the CV lockdowns, we were super grateful for Hobbs, as wed walk to it in the mornings to grab a coffee and a loaf, as well as some pastries, if we fancied a treat. It was also great to have the refillable milk station and the frozen pizza bases (when flour got a bit scarce, with everyone making stuff at home!). Sometimes the sweet baked goods arent always amazing - the pastries can be a little chewy and occasionally, the cakes arent super flavourful. However, their doughnuts and brownies are absolutely amazing! Weve even bought some of the brownies to have for dessert when people come over for dinner, theyre that good. Thanks for being such a lovely local bakery!

Mediocre bread, pastries hit and miss - some were lovely, others barely edible
