We tested supermarket bakeries at Asda, Lidl, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, M&S and Tesco - and the cheapest was best

It’s officially summer, there’s a heatwave and not a chance you’ll catch me at Manchester airport in those queues. So what’s the next best thing? Putting on your favourite midi dress and picking up some pastries so I can live my best Parisian life in my back garden smothered in factor 50.

This week, I’ve headed back out to the supermarkets not to try and find the best cheap crumpets or lemonade (though I’m sure that’ll come in handy over the warm weekend) - but instead I’ve been scouting out the bakery counters.

There’s nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread being placed onto the shelves, or the sweet sight of pastries lined up in a row. And often, these in-house makes and bakes are often much more exciting than the things you’ll find in the aisles, making them a real treat.
