Wenzel's the Bakers Reviews 

The best bakery Greggs and simmonds are no match staff in Greggs and simmonds are rude and unhelpful dental the staff always helpful and polite except device always

For some time now, ever since Wenzel’s introduced its app, I have been having problems with the loyalty scheme. For several years I collected loyalty stamps on paper cards when buying bread and regularly redeemed them. Since the introduction of the app, however, the stamps have stopped being added to my account.
I have scanned the QR code in the shop and also scanned the QR code from my receipts. On several occasions the app has confirmed that the operation was successful, yet no loyalty stamps were actually credited to my account.
Today, I was told by one of the bakery employees that approximately three weeks ago Wenzel’s staff received an email informing them that purchases such as my £3.25 loaf of bread would no longer qualify for a stamp, as apparently customers are now required to spend a minimum of £3.50 to receive one stamp in the app (which in my case requires buying two loaves of bread).

If this is indeed the new policy, it raises some serious questions. Why was this change not clearly communicated to customers? Why does the app confirm that the QR scan was successful when no stamp is subsequently awarded? And why, when I contacted Wenzel’s by email to complain, was I not given any explanation whatsoever?
Instead, my complaint was effectively ignored. The person who replied to my email did not even have the basic courtesy to identify themselves or sign their name. Absolutely disgraceful customer service.

I have been buying Wenzel’s bread for years, so this is not a complaint from someone who has just walked into one of their shops yesterday. I have been a regular customer and have spent plenty of money with the company over the years.

And unfortunately, the loyalty scheme is not the only thing that has deteriorated. For the last 8–10 weeks, I have also noticed a significant decline in the quality of the bread dough. The loaves increasingly contain large, empty holes running through them. Large holes may be a sign of good quality and a desirable feature in cheese, but in bread, it is simply a sign of poor consistency and bad baking.
When you pay £3.25 for a small round loaf, you have every right to expect a decent and consistent product.
Taking money from customers while quietly making the loyalty scheme less rewarding, failing to communicate the changes properly, and then ignoring legitimate complaints is, in my opinion, a very poor and unacceptable way to treat any Wenzel's customers.

So, as of today, I am done with Wenzel’s. I will no longer be spending my money in their shops.
There are alternative bakeries offering bread at a similar price point, where customers don't have to worry about poorly bonded dough or large empty spaces inside the loaf.
Fortunately, I can spend a quiet weekend baking a few loaves at home. At least then I will know exactly what I am eating — and I won't have to chase a company for the loyalty stamps I was promised.
Very disappointing.
Wenzel’s has lost a long-standing customer.

I’d say 'good luck', but that would be insincere.

What a great service from Malina in edgware station wenzels,i am always hopeful she would be there every time i go to wenzels she has such a can do attitude and never too much to ask for anything, a great asset to wenzels.

All was good I thought. Was waiting for my wholemeal bacon roll. No one asked if I was ok. Then told it was the small bag..I ordered a few items do was aware of this. No other customer in shop. When I got home realised it was a white roll. I am type diabetic so furious couldn't go back no choice but to eat it. I clearly stated I want it in a wholemeal roll. Not assumed

Tried to post on Google reviews but it wouldn’t work so I’ll just copy and paste it here.Based on my visit on 10/08/26

I’m not usually one to leave reviews- however this is not the first time I have encountered this in this shop.on more than one occasion now I have overheard a male member of staff discussing a female member of staff here.on previous visits I would hear disclosure about her personal life or accusations that this female is a liar.once again today I overhead a conversation talking down on this female.its disgusting and unprofessional behaviour- I am unsure on whom the female is but I can confidently say all the girls who work here that I’ve encountered are fabulous workers; albeit the best this shop has.Its a shame really because I frequently visit with my wife and daughter however we will now be taking our business elsewhere as we refuse to support such a narcissistic environment.i hope this is looked into as I’ve heard phrases such as -I’ll make her life hell- and the language coming from these people’s mouths! Just wow!safe to say I did not make my purchase today and hearing this now on multiple occasions has left me disgusted.

I think Wenzels Waterlooville has been recruiting staff from McDonalds Waterlooville as nearly every delivery order is missing something. Today I ordered 4 meal deals and when delivered, 3 baguettes were missing plus a yummie. Its not rocket science to tick off items on the till receipt as you put them in the bag!

Had delivered wenzals vegan roll. Used to order on Uber eats a while back.
Decided to order and received 3 small vegan roll half the size of the original ones...another company that has introduced shrinkflation... Very disappointed

Rude staff at South Harrow too busy having conversations in there own language and ignoring customers

I had the misfortune to have a sausage roll at wenzels feltham. Stale bread roll and tasteless sausage for 3.25. I'd have been happier with a used pizza box out of the bin.

Been using Wenzels for many years but my visit to the Luton branch may have been my last.

Disinterested unhelpful staff seems the days of haven't got what you want on display we'll make one have long gone.

Bought two ham and cheese baguettes as part of the "premium" meal deal. Both were the driest toughest baguettes I had ever seen. There was almost zero spread on the inside, the ham didn't exactly look fresh and the cheese wasn't far off being some of that horrible processed stuff.

Harshal in the Wembley branch was amazing really lovely customer service and quick on the job. A true gem to the company.

Place an order today 1st June 2026 at 15.28 for 2 baguette from Wenzel's London Road, High Wycombe.
After 40 minutes I receive a message as my order was cancelled...!!!
After 40 minutes !!!!!!
Absolut unprofessional and incompetent...!!!
Why keep some product available is they are not available and waist ppl time ...????

Alone in my Gerrards Cross shop this morning
Waited for 6 mins with literally no one behind the counter
Could hear staff working at back but no one even checked while 3 of us stood there
What a joke

I went to the store at parkstone poole sunday and a busy bank holiday , i would like to make a mention i belive he was a manager called matthew and what a pleasure he was , very good customer service and a lovely manner
the food was great too but sadly i had a sandwich made as a special request which was a cheese salad with onion , sadly i got to the park and it only had onion , obviously nt his fault as someone in the kitchen made it but still lovely bread , thank you matthew from me and another matt

I use to love Wenzel’s Jamaican Patties but recently they’ve changed the recipe and now it’s awful. Salty and just horrible tasting. Will not be purchasing anymore.

The last 2/3 occasions of buying ring doughnuts , I've found them to feel quite hard even though they had today's date on them.
If they were cooked 'on the day' surely they would be fresh and soft, like they used to be. Very disappointed 😞 It's not as it used to be. I will not be buying doughnuts again.

Quite frankly im very disappointed in my food this morning. I had ordered a sausage bap, with a few extras and a coffee, and all of it was not what I was hoping to receive. For starters my sausage was bland and tasteless, the bacon was fatty and stringy, the hash browns were soggy and unpleasant and the bun itself was chewy and tuff. Not to mention my coffee was only filled half way and stone cold. I have eaten here twice and both times have been a similar experience, probably won't be eating here again.

I was extremely dissatisfied with my bacon, sausage and hash brown crunchy role. I have 5 reasons why i am so unpleased,
1. Very cold,
2.tasted not very nice,
3.my drink was nasty,
4.The sausage was bland and tasted wierd,
5. I really, really , really don't like the pricing. for my unpleasent sandwich , the pricing was 7.90. Very unpleased. Howvwer, the man that delivered my meal was lovely and asked how my day was, so thank you to him, he worked for Uber and im very grateful for that. I would give him 5/5 stars if i could. Oh and i forgotto say that there was something crunchy in my role, Egg shell??

Yiewsley Wenzels is really good. Bought a good few Too Good To Go bags from mostly here and am always on the whole very happy with them. Staff on the whole are really lovely and helpful and in particular Jyoti and Kimberley. Store is always spotlessly clean when Jyoti is on and everything is well organised.

The staff at Harrow and wealdstone branch are amazing, friendly, always clean, best wenzils I've been in
