PARSONS BAKERY CHEDDAR Have been calling here for a long time as we drive through Cheddar, rolls nicely filled, some cakes lovely, not cheap ingrediencies. HOWEVER, was really disappointed last week when in a rush my sister didnt ask for the meal-deal and ended up paying over the odds for the combination of purchases, cakes/rolls etc and her £15 ish was not well spent to best value.

Very bad indeed especially as you now have competition from the bakery opposite as I noticed on my...

When collected they had applied what looked like 2 dessert spoons of ketchup and the sandwich was so wet with it I had to it throw away. This is the second time it's happened in the last couple of months. I was going to take a picture of it, but it made me feel sick just looking at it.
The ladies that work there could also do with a lesson in how to be friendly and smile...if you can't in a service industry you should look for something else to do.
I have been a customer for over 18 months but now won't be...
