Pacey's Bakery — Restaurant in South Holland

Bakery - 3/5. Great selection, although could offer more pastries & things such as sourdough. The selection is quite ‘bog standard’ as bakeries go. Cakes are generally a bit too sweet. The queueing situation needs revision, as it’s always hectic & you feel as though you’re in the way of staff coming up & down stairs constantly, even when the queue isn’t that busy. Cafe - 3/5. Good range, average prices. Everything is done to a good standard, but nothing is amazing. Occasionally you’ll find a gem on their regularly rotating specials menu. Overall, staff are very pleasant. EDIT - Since my initial review I have returned to try the new sourdough. Unfortunately I've had to deduct a star from my initial rating. Their sourdough is dense enough to be mistaken for a rye bread & doesn't have much of a classic sourdough flavour. I've bought & baked many sourdoughs which are far superior.

We sat outside down the side of the shop, it's dog friendly which is a massive plus, and as I said the staff were very nice & polite. I'd have no problem in going back next time I'm...

Paceys catered an afternoon tea buffet for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier! The service we received from Carl was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, and the whole process was stress-free and friendly.

The food was delicious — beautifully presented, fresh, and full of variety. We were truly spoilt for choice, and so many of our guests commented on how amazing everything tasted.

I would highly recommend Paceys for any catering event in the future. Massive thank you to Carl and the whole team for helping make our wedding...
