Cornish Bakehouse - Bournemouth

This shop frequently sells out of baguettes (or is down to a selection of or by around This occurs very regularly. If you ask for them to make up a baguette, you will either get a response of not right not or we've run out of baguettes Given this is a common occurrence, it seems like they are unable to properly plan ahead and as a result, I often have to go elsewhere which is frustrating as their baguettes are nice!

Was told pasty was authentic... this was incorrect. The pasty was awful I took one bite and threw it away. I'm cornish this pasty was not. Mushy meat pieces.. strange taste. Waste of money

I definitely use the bakehouse more than I should, but the quality of the food is the reason I come back. They definitely do my favourite pasty in Bournemouth, and while I'm personally a stickler for the traditional, they probably have different types at by one time in a selection of sizes. Add to this a decent selection of bakes, sausage rolls and assorted sides and there is a great selection. There are various other offerings, a good range of toasted sandwiches, all the drinks you'd expect and some pretty tasty cakes Service is spot on, always a friendly smile and a warm greeting. Prices are fair, and there are a few small tables and chairs to dine in should you want to pay vat on your good.

Pastie was slightly undercooked staff were very helpful and shop was clean

My wife went in shop and placed an order for pasties. She went to pay with an old (still legal tender! but the young girl behind the counter refused to take it as it was not legal tender. Absolute rubbish! I was embarrassed and...told her it was legal tender and that the government had not yet recalled the old notes. The young girl hesitated and came out with it was company policy not to accept them. No signs displayed for this decision. If anyone has old notes, I urge you to attend the shop, place a large order and see what happens. If they don’t accept make a fuss and walk out. OLD NOTES ARE STILL LEGAL UNTIL SEPTEMBER
