  I made a purchase for £3.10 and gave the assistant £3.50, the closest I could pay to the purchase amount, only to have it made clear to me in no uncertain terms that this was a major inconvenience as it pretty much exhausted their supply of change. 40 pence change can be given as a combination of five denominations - 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 pence pieces. I am hardly to blame if the staff are unable to manage their float effectively and/or lack the foresight to pop into to Barclays or Lloyds (both of which are mere minutes away) to obtain change before they run out. Unfortunately this is not the first time I have gone in as a friendly and polite customer, only to be served with indifference or rudeness. At a time when local, independent businesses are clamouring for trade and complaining about the incursion of major retailers, one has to question the wisdom of treating customers this way.
  
  Regarding the quality of my purchase: I started eating my pasty as soon as I was out the door, to find that it was not even lukewarm, and the coconut cake, which is so far only partially eaten, is rock-hard.

  I have often ordered Cakes from the East & West for birthdays and Xmas and my family and guests are amazed at the presentation and taste and size. My recent ordered cake for my daughters 30th birthday was the best cake anyone had ever tasted and at such a small price. Barnstaple is very lucky to have such a place on our doorstep

  This is a really wonderful bakery with the best quality and choice of bread we have found anywhere ! North Devon is very fortunate to have this specialist business.
