CAN WE IMPORT BREAD FROM THE UK?

You want to know why local shops can't import bread from the UK…. Yesterday we told you that Warrys is putting it's prices up by around ten percent due to a worldwide increase in the cost of wheat - and then we received a flurry of texts suggesting bread should be imported instead, to keep costs down. We're now waiting for the Commerce and Employment Department to tell us what the situation is

my reply is that imported bread is already in the islands m&s sell there own bread brought in from the uk and yes it is a little cheaper and a lot better than warrys bread x

have checked with m&s and there bread is def imported from the uk despite certain rumours that it was made by warrys xx

I like MS bread and it stays fresh for a long time .other than that i buy coop bread.or make my own

The Co-op sells Fletcher's Brown and White cut loaves.................(as does the Candy shop on the Bridge).....also Alliance sells a whole range of Kingsmill products - also Sunblest (crumpets yum)

I don't buy Warry's bread its crap , its like putty , I tend to buy rolls from the Coop.

The price of bread is going to go up no mater where you are due to problems in Russia. The cost of wheat is going up and it will be pased on to the customer.

we dont mind paying for gd bread but unfortunately our local bread is almost inedible imo .

You certainly don't want to import the dire stuff that passes for bread in the UK these days. Why don't you get proper bread from France via St Malo ?

I just don't eat bread!!!!!

maybe because the costs charged for bringing things in from france are too much or the fact that there isnt a regular enough service to bring bread in every day.forest stores does bring in french and alderney bread at the weekend x

I don't buy the warrys bread - I buy either the co-op bread or m and s or fletchers bread.  

The rolls from Senners Bakery and from the Portugese shop at the Track (can't think of the name!!) are both excellent products, so we do have some good local baked bread.

I think that is Vina's Dell.......................

Your right Karma, thanks!!

Forest stores imports daily from France and has done for at least 10 years. Bread, croissants etc. All excellent. It also imports UK bread, I think I've seen Flatchers on the shelves.

Credit where it is due so I'll do a bit more advertising for Denis and Keith and say that they import lots and their meat is rather good, good enough for a veggie to turn carnivorous!!!

they also do a wonderful range of cold meats and cheeses...they dont do fletchers bread but do sell alderney bread and bakery goods too.
