Burns The Bread — Restaurant in England

Some people have a 'thing' about wine, others about cheese, others about bread. I'm in the third group. A few years ago, I bought a loaf from Burns the Bread in the High Street in Glastonbury. It was, to say the least, beyond perfect. I was there, again, this Monday, so I treated myself to an 800g granary tin that cost £2.80 (yes, that's right; I had HIGH expectations for that price, as I could purchase the same at Asda for £1.30).

To say I was almost in tears when I came to eat is it an understatement. The 'crust' was wrinkly soft and the entirety too firm, tell-tale signs of an old or stale loaf. Having cut off ALL 6 crusts, I came to something that would be deemed barely passable after two days given a bog-standard loaf. This 'Burns' loaf had NOT, I repeat NOT, been baked the same day and was being sold from the previous day's leftovers. I can tell, I just can, because I have to have real, fresh bread.

The only positive is that I took a closer look at the Special Bread section in Asda today. I bought a 400g fancy soda and kalamata olive loaf (£1.95). It was gorgeous and HAD been baked there that day. Needless to say, I'll be going through the rest of that Special Bread section.

Burns the Bread in Glastonbury is now a farce. AVOID at all costs.

And, to be honest about these reviews, the vast majority of the negatives have been written by the same illiterate idiot who can't even end their comment with a basic full stop. Have a look; they're all the same. Ignore those. However, my review is genuine. (See; there's...

Awful experience on Saturday, I'm registered disabled and have to have my service dog with me at all times , I walked in to buy my lunch and a treat for my dog and the older lady very abruptly told me to remove the dog immediately, I of course explained the reason why he was wearing g a huge reflective jacket with all his markings on was because he's a medical dog , she said sorry it doesn't matter he'll have to wait outside , I didn't want to get into things but I explained that I'm.pretty sure you can't do that pretty sure it would be classed as discrimination, but needless to say I cancelled my order and took my business elsewhere, terrible guys you ruined my day , and I hope the staff member involved never is in a position where they'd need a medical dog and would be...

Superb bakers with a good selection of gluten free and vegan produce. They have gingerbread men whose smarties have the correct chakra colour. They will even sell you carrot cake with a slice of bacon on top (believe me this tastes fab) yet refuse to sell me an Eccles cake for a pound :-( even after reciting the entire history of the Eccles cake. Eccles cakes are named after the English town of Eccles. James Birch is credited with being the first person to sell Eccles cakes commercially, which he sold from his shop at the corner of Vicarage Road and St Mary's Road, now Church Street, in the town centre in 1793. Oh and Eccles cakes don't have Protected Geographical Status, so may be manufactured by Mr Burns and still labelled as...
