Parkside Bakery — Restaurant in Stafford

Firstly , how wonderful to have a bakery as so rare these days and on a housing estate promenade of shops . I try to come here whenever I visit Stafford to support local business, especially a bakery. In food , you've to sell a lot to make anywhere near survival let alone profits.

The traditional pasties are great, proper meat and filling and not salty or peppery either just rightly seasoned. Fresh, well done short crust pasties. Their best product by far.

Rather disappointing to see wholesaler frozen pasties for the flakey/ puff pastry pasties that any Saturday hand at Greg's could throw in the oven, however. A skilled baker in residence and using wholsaler stuff!

Flap jacks perfect, cooked properly and non of the undercooked squigginess so prevalent these days. Ideal for a winters pudding with custard on.

A nice variety of bread, fresh and wholesome though sometimes a bit over prooved. But generally very good.

Lovely serving staff be it the mature woman during the week or fresh faced weekend Saturday job staff.

Prices appropriate.

Parking easily.

Being an independent local bakery support...

Food gone down hill stop selling yesterday's pasties can tell by how dry they are £3.10 for small ham cob think ham gone up 30p for packet and not trade prices you get see less and less people going there wonder why dont moan when have to close and say community didn't support us rip off since new baker took over...

This is a fantastic bakery for all your requirements, expecting a party or family get together let them know in advance of your order. Staff are excellent always kind and ready to help its my go to place as well as being rewarding to support a local business.

Be warned everything...
