The Garrison Bakery - Southend-on-Sea

I bought vegan sausage rolls from here and found full on mould on the inside. On complaining we learned food is being kept overnight, not thrown away! This was definitely older than a few days look at the picture and decide for yourself. When we complained, only the ‘older’ ones in the cabinet were thrown away, not the ‘fresh’ ones that were stored next to them. I’ll never return again the hygiene of this bakery is, I’m sorry to say, utterly disgusting.

Bought myself a sausage in a crusty roll for my lunch and a cherry ripe slice, the cake was lovely but the sausage roll not so good, the sausages were at least a week old, dried out inside even crunchy in places and almost impossible to chew. The roll itself was ok but most of it crumbled away and fell apart as I was eating it..... never again

First time in Shoebury, lovely place. Happened across this bakery and everything looked fantastic. I chose the bread pudding and it was brilliant. The coffee was also very good. I’ll come again.

Was walking past here and thought cakes looked quite tasty. My daughter had an Eccles cake and I purchased 2 pieces of bread pudding. My daughter stepped outside whilst I was waiting and started to eat her cake which was a very generous size, however the bottom pastry was so thick it was hard to bite and was very underbaked , the filling tasted quite pleasant but was totally out of proportion to the amount of pastry. The 2 pieces of bread pudding went straight in the bin after one mouthful as was inedible. All the cakes are very large, and would maybe benefit from being smaller in size and bigger on quality and flavour.

A wonderful bakery with huge cakes and even bigger sandwiches. The staff are really helpful and friendly. Definitely the best bakery in Southend by far, the bread is so fresh and tasty and the crusty rolls are amazing
