Were all saddened by the loss of Pye bakery. I especially loved their café on Dereham Road, with a staggering 40 or so cakes, pastry’s, bakes and tarts to choose from. OH Those incredible sarnies, like their buttermilk chicken or their burger with blue.
But it’s gone now – – and if that wasn’t bad enough so has the bakery.
So – – while we mourn our losses, let’s look at all the other lovely bakery’s around where you can get a loaf of freshly baked bread.
