really delicious stuff, great for eating on the go, or if you are going for a picnic it is great. the cheese straws are amazing and only 40p! the staff are very friendly. seating upstairs but tends to be just be older people or families. gets very busy around lunch time. the ginger bread men are great.

a nice, quality cake shop which sells a good lunch selection of hot baguettes and sandwiches, cold drinks, pasties, and loads of cakes. Some cakes could be a bit cheaper, but overall, everything is quality, and very, very tasty.

Sells ok bakery goods, there is better bakers. Shop is very small but all bakers are i guess, staff seem friendly, biggest problem is how expensive it is!!! about 50p for a cheese straw i think

average, not the best backer in winchester, but serves nic ecakes never the less. the air feels somewhat unclean and the staff seem unclean which some what puts me off buying food from there, also the food isnt great and is over priced.

Small, but simple place which offers that day cooked bakery goods. Staff are quick and efficent, and often have a wide stock. Not too small that its a pain, but quite quaint.

This small bakery is an excellent choice for a quick bite to eat while in Winchester. The sandwiches in particular are very good quality in general, and fairly cheaply priced. They offer a wide variety of freshly baked bread types. Staff are very friendly, and quick at their job. Reeves can get quite busy at times, and if wanting to guarentee a certain sandwich make sure you go early to avoid disappointment, as after about 1 o'clock the choice is fairly limited. located on the high street, reeves is easily accessible.

This shop is very small, but turns out a very good product, the staff are also very bubily and helpful, and like to get the job done quicky, but you dont feel rushed off when you are delt with. There are also a wide range of products for you to choose from. Its also nice to know that they have been made that morning, and you know are fresh, rather than a packaged substance from the supermarket.

One of the best places to grab something quick for lunch in Winchester. The food is great but there is usually a huge queue that ends up out the door due to the huge interest in Reeve's.

Reeves is the best bakery that i've ever been to. The food is amazing, always warm! They have a huge selection of sweet things as well and breads and sausage rolls. The people are really nice and the shop is small but sweet, in one of the oldest buildings in Winchester.

I think you definately get what you pay for in Reeves, yes its slightly more expensive, but the food is fabulous. Most of it / all of it is fresh baked and it tastes great and they have a huge choice. One minor flaw in that it is a very small store, and can get cramped, particularly around lunch time.

A really nice little bakery in Winchester, is very poplular and gets quite busy as the shop is only small, but queing is worth it! The food is great an it is an ideal place to buy lunch or a snack with great sweet and savoury food on offer, good place to grab a coffee and sit upstairs if you want. A little expensive but the lovely food is defiently worth it, the best bakers in town in my opinion!

This is a great bakery with loads of fresh food to offer. The prices are pretty good and they sell really nice sandwiches. However sometimes the queues can get quite long at busy times, and the shop is only small. However it's worth the wait and the cheese straws are lush! It nicely located in the town centre and the staff here are really friendly!

Tastes ok, although Greggs towards the other end of town is cheaper, so I usually go there first and if they don't have what I want I go to Reeves, which isn't bad and costs less than places like Presto.

Suprisingly cheap and tasty bakery. The staff, although sometimes looking fairly harassed at the prospect of huge queues snaking out of the door, are always on their feet and ready to help, and they sell a huge range of baked goods and fresh bread. There's also a cafe upstairs which, while not always so busy, is also fairly cheap and has a good quality of service.
Oh, and the cheese straws are divine...

Lovely small bakery, good food freshly cooked. Has a brilliant reputation and therefore can get very busy at lunchtimes, expect a queue. However, they deal with the customers quickly so you shouldn't wait for too long.Upstairs there is a small coffee/tea room which is quaint and offers a small selection of hot food from downstairs or freshly made rolls.
