About Ferguson Plarre's Bakehouse
Ferguson Plarre's Bakehouse covers a lot of ground. People know it for its pies and sausage rolls, and for custom celebration cakes. The vegan range has its followers too, and we've heard good things about the plant-based meat pie in particular.
The cake side is where one customer has sent friends. One person described a surprise birthday cake, a piñata design, that went down a treat with the whole party, and others have praised the way staff sorted a last-minute cake and hand-delivered it. Custom cake orders, catering platters, delivery, takeaway and in-store pick-up are all on offer, so it suits a party order as much as a quick lunch run.
There's also a coffee-and-breakfast side, with milkshakes, hot and iced drinks, and dairy-free milk options on the menu. The Queen Victoria Market spot gets a nod for its setting, and the counter staff come across as friendly and cheerful.
Some locals have had a dry cake or a pricey cupcake that didn't live up to it, so the savouries and the cakes made to order tend to be the safer bets. If you're buying something to keep for a day or two, it's sensible to check how fresh it is at the counter.
The entrance is wheelchair-accessible, and cards and mobile payments are accepted. Opening days vary through the week, so check the hours before heading in.
