The Cornish Bakery is a straightforward spot in Bourton-on-the-Water where you can grab something proper to eat.
The village itself is known for its low bridges spanning the River Windrush, and it draws plenty of visitors, so this bakery serves as a reliable refuelling stop.
They focus on freshly baked goods, with a strong emphasis on Cornish pastries and savoury items. You'll find traditional meat pasties and vegetarian versions, plus sausage rolls that come out of the oven throughout the day. There's usually a decent selection of sweet pastries and cakes on offer as well, alongside hot drinks like coffee and tea.
What makes it particularly useful is that most things are available to take away. That matters in Bourton because the village can get quite busy, especially near the riverside, so you might prefer to grab your lunch and find a quieter spot by the water or head off to explore the model village or motor museum without getting caught in the crowds.
Bourton-on-the-Water sits conveniently between other popular Cotswold villages like Stow-on-the-Wold and the Slaughters, all within a short drive of each other. If you're working your way around the area, this bakery is a dependable option when you need something to eat without fuss.
