Reeve the Baker in New Forest

The best Baker in Ringwood. Good bread and cakes and delicious buns & cakes. Good cafe too.

Serious questions around hygiene! I recently went into this bakers to purchase my lunch. There was a lady serving customers I’d never seen before.She had plasters on and was manually handing my order with her bare hands.I’ve never witnessed this in Any reeves the baker before. It made me feel sick and I never ate my order. There was no sanitising her hands after touching other customers who were handing over money. I class this as extremely poor hygiene and I do not recommend this baker to anyone.

The seeded bread is my favourite for sandwiches. It is expensive but it does make a much nicer lunch. Will keep buying it.

Great rolls but won’t return as with a lot of other reviewers I’m fed up with the rude woman who seems to love shouting at her customers. I appreciate they are very busy but they will lose customers if they keep that sort of attitude. Such a shame 😦

Good selection of cakes and snacks, pasties, sausage rolls, that were warned up to eat. However, slightly pricey and disappointed an extra pound per item to eat in.

Bad pastries and and worse service. Maybe the staff are over-worked but the person who “helped” me was incredibly rude and rush-y, it would have maybe been excusable if the pastries were okay but I literally couldn’t even finish it. Safe to say I will never be returning, a shame because the shop is very cute - a classic case of style over substance.

Whilst shopping in Ringwood for essentials Wednesday 18.02.21 pm I decided I would treat myself to a cream cake. Was met by a woman sales assistant who didn't seem best pleased I was asking if they sold custard Slices. Which they didn't have. Then without offering any alternative she said they were closing. I decided to go elsewhere, it costs nothing to be friendly and courteous so I won't be calling again.

The best bakery I have ever been to. The only disappointment is we live 5 hours away. We will be returning when we are in the area even for the bakery alone. The chocolate twists and butter and almond Croissant are to die for. Took a big bag of take out to keep us going till next time. Highly recommended.If u r ever in the area its a must to visit.

Nice people there , sandwiches are good but they always seem to have run out of them by 12.30 pm . If you want sandwiches you really need to pop in before midday ! So disappointing every time ! That’s the only reason I’ve knocked off 2 stars !

Nice staff in this branch and a good display of cakes, breads & hot pastries, but all the Wiltshire pasties in the window had their seam split open with the contents seeping out, shame as the pastry was a good colour!
