A village bakery is judged on its pies, with pastry that stays crisp and fillings that are hot all the way through. Chicken and steak pies are popular for a school-day pickup or a lunch to take to work. Cream donuts sell fast on weekends, so arriving earlier gives the best choice. People with coeliac disease or other allergies should tell staff clearly and ask how items are prepared, since shared equipment is common in busy bakeries. One reviewer with coeliac disease reported feeling unwell after ordering here, so asking first is worth doing.
