Britain’s Best Bakeries: reader picks
Published 14 May 2025

In March we launched our inaugural list of Britain’s Best Bakeries to champion the some of the most delicious bites of food to be had for under a fiver.  

Whittling contenders down to just 50 was an incredibly difficult task – a testament to the explosion of British artisan baking – and many of you wrote in on behalf of your favourites that deserved a place in the spotlight.  

As we follow your trail of breadcrumbs, we bring you some of our readers' picks. If you've got your own favourite, don't forget to tell us about it here.
