Cavendish Bakery opened in 1973 as Saffron Patisserie in Grove Road, Eastbourne, by patissier and former Bondolfi manager Cliff Bennett. The bakery is now owned by his son and third generation baker and confectioner Mark. Mark completed an apprenticeship with Brighton Technical College, where he won Student of the Year for three years running along with the prestigious, industry-renowned Renshaw Cup for excellence.

In its 48 year history, the Bakery has established a great reputation locally for its products and service. We continue to bake fresh, daily on our premises in Eastbourne and follow a number of traditional recipes. We're also proud to display the top rating of '5' under the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme which means that the Bakery has been found to have 'very good' hygiene standards.

Old school treats; sausage rolls better than Gregs; and they have, as my wife calls them, Belgian bums.

Opens early, but I didn't notice anything special about the nicely boxed, but slightly chewy croissants at 95p each

Really great bakers, reasonable prices. Great selection of cakes and bread. I use it for a bacon roll or sausage roll for breakfast always tasty and freshly prepared for you. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Covid measures in place max two customers in shop at any one time. Well used by builders and contractors in mornings. thoroughly recommend this place.

Always visit this marvelous bakery when I visit Eastbourne.Lovely fresh baked cakes, pastries and excellent range of take away food.
I particularly recommend the Viennese Finger, probably the best I've tasted in over 30 years.
Give it a try!
