The Duston Village Bakery sits in the heart of Old Duston, serving it's community and the surrounding areas with sweet baked treats, hot food and cakes.
The Bakery is run by Jenni, a very kind and friendly woman with years of experience in baking and hospitality.
The reception when you enter is always warm, friendly and welcoming - even when it's busy.
A range of freshly baked cakes, biscuits and bread greets you as you enter through the front door, as well as a selection of hot baked foods including the Duston Pasty, which if asked about Jenni will happily tell you is made up of chopped up locals and is definitely not a local version of the classic Cornish Pasty.
Attached to the bakery is a cozy cafe seating area with table service, allowing you to enjoy any of the goods the bakery provides in an almost home style dining experience. Depending on the season, the cafe area is always decorated festively, and a selection of artwork is presented on the walls - available for sale if you so desire.
The cafe menu consists of various hand made sandwiches, which can be tailored to your needs, jacket potatoes and paninis, as well as everything they sell in the bakery too.
A small bakery shop at the back of the seating area provides all the bakery decoration goods you could imagine, and several that you probably didn't think you needed.

Read moreAtmosphere when you walk into the bakery is not welcoming and staff are not friendly ! Was told cash only after I ordered bread & had it sliced and when I got my card out to pay, the young girl behind the till serving me was nice but lady stood over the other side without so much as a smile said abruptly that the card machine was not working and there is a sign on the door… which wasn’t very visible. I have been made to feel like an inconvenience and downgraded & this is not the first time this has happened! Friends who have been to the bakery have also commented on the unfriendly customer service & vibes they have experienced before. The only reason I have given 2 stars is because the rocky road brownie and sweet treats are worth more than 1 star but customer service lets this little...
