Two bakeries merged in Ashington the other month, Bakers Pantry, one on the main street, on at Poundstrechers at the bus station and one on Milburn Road. Really nice sausage rolls, ham buns, 99p hot drinks etc.

My favourite bakers is Taylor's but annoyingly they only have shops at Darlington, Ferryhill, Framwellgate Moor and Richmond so since I finished college last year I don't get to go there very often these days, although it was the place of choice when I was at college and I would often get a corned beef pasty which as well as being thicker as Greggs' it is also only 78p instead of £1.10 and my other usual was a hot dog.
