Compared six UK supermarket bakeries -- and there's a clear winner

A new UK taste test pitted six supermarket bakeries against each other: Lidl, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Marks and Spencer, Asda and Aldi. The comparison focused on value for money and the range of fresh, classic and inventive items. Aldi came last, largely because many stores lack a proper on-site bakery section. The author’s local visit showed a sparse selection, including the absence of some usual products like school cakes, and fewer seasonal offerings than competitors. Several other chains performed better, with the piece suggesting one retailer delivered the strongest mix of quality and choice, though the full ranking details extend beyond the excerpt.
