We often get some cakes and bread from our local. Excellent quality, and very good value.

I had one of their chocolate croissants the other day, bloody lovely. Always tempted to try their donuts but am cutting down on junk food lately so can't

Donuts are junk food ?

I always considered them as comfort food.

Lot of people seem to say good things about Lidl these days - a woman at work reckons their ready prepared paella is fantastic

Contains Nuts · 05-02-2012, 10:27

The muffins in Lidl are the best around but they're not made by them.

As for in store bakeries, Morrisons has to be the best. Their steak slices are much better than Greggs - and cheaper!

That really isn't true, I believe that only happens in stores too small to have their own in store bakery.
I'm pretty sure almost everything in the bakery is made fresh(I see it being made) and before anyone asks yes I do work for Morrisons.

pugamo · 05-02-2012, 17:33

Lidl's cheese swirls/croissants are so delicious. The one round the corner from me is always really fresh.

Ours only has a couple of standup ovens. They look professional but also look like they could be in your own kitchen and not a professional bakery.
Never seen sweets at ours, only French sticks and tiger bread.

noise747 · 06-02-2012, 10:15

Not been in Lidl for months now, I doubt ours will have a bakery it is too small. I don't like Lidls, not ours anyway, too small and messy

Most stuff do in most bakery these days which is sad to be honest.
I wish we had a bakery here, we got just chain store bakerys and supermarket ones.

big_hard_lad · 06-02-2012, 11:01

My local has a great bakery. The Cheese Twists are a particular favourite!

grassmarket · 06-02-2012, 11:16

Their French petit pains are very good as well.

Utopian Girl · 06-02-2012, 11:24

I shop at Lidl most weeks as I love their fruit/veg & Greek yoghurt amongst other items however, I never knew they had I store bakeries!
We have three Lidls in my vacinity here in South Wales too!

I wish we had one!

Welsh-lad · 06-02-2012, 13:00

My Lidl doesn't have a bakery.

So is it in Wales where no Lidl in store bakeries are found?

Starfire Belle · 06-02-2012, 19:07

The pain au chocolat, croissants and cinamon whirls are all very good, especially when still warm!

galaxy99 · 07-02-2012, 05:50

the cinamon whirls are really good.I don't know if it is baked in the store,but it's new to me,fresh baked stuff.I think they put some stuff in the ovens to create the baking smell.Try the apple turnovers,yum

cnbcwatcher · 07-02-2012, 20:05

My local Lidl has a bakery and I go in there once in a while. Their freshly baked croissants are to die for! They're even nicer when still warm

Pixie Queen · 08-02-2012, 01:41

Baked in store - . Most shops get everything ready to be "baked" and pop it in the oven as demand dictates . I would guess that any other "Baked in Store" for any shop or store does the same.

Even the biggest "Brand" shops don't have an on house bake house in every store. .

My guess is that all the "baked in store" stuff is all prepared off site and transported to the various shops to be "baked"
