Halls Quality Bakers in Cirencester

Church of St. John the Baptist, Cirencester

Great to enjoy my lunch from one of the few independent English bakers still producing good traditional English bread, cakes and confectionery. Just down a side street off Market Square and the Church of St. John the Baptist, Halls Quality Bakers in Cirencester turns out an excellent Chelsea Bun, hand-formed from a tasty sweet dough, spicy and with just the right amount of fruit... I know artisan bakers who sell Chelsea Buns in Shepherds Bush but I believe Chelsea Buns are now actually extinct in Chelsea!

Update from a reader: Stop off at St. George's bakery in Staunton they make lovely Chelsea buns!

Other suggestions welcome!
