I may have missed the blackboard at the back shown in the pictures, and also I probably will have missed some of the other items as it was well after 1pm when I get there. I need to get in for 9 and snaffle some Croissants and cakes. They did look nice!

If you're in newcastle and fancy a sweet or even a savoury treat, pop over to the grainger market and check out all the fab and tasty produce on sale at 'The French Oven'. All I can say is you MUST try their macaroons...WOW!
The staff are very helpful, and if you time it right you may be lucky enough to get a fresh hot croissant or pain au chocolate, which are favourites with my little girls.
Thanks for all the fab products I tried last year, I am looking forward to all your new delights this year!

I only discovered this place through Group On and feel like I've discovered a secret as its been there for a few years! The stuff they sell is absolutely beautiful and freshly baked. Everything is just like how your mam or gran made stuff and that's a credit to the bakers.
The staff were friendly and chatty. I was served by a very nice assistant called Chantelle and wish I'd written down my phone number when she asked me to write my email address down haha.
Over all, a charming little place and good to see independent places doing well selling great food.
I will be back!

Love, love, love this place! A gem in the market! I firstly visited after getting a groupon deal and was so pleased i did. Staff were lovely and helped with advising on all the different products. Your got to try the speciality bread if you visit. Knot top poppy seed and sundry tomato are my favourites! They also have a discounted range from 50p of buns and breads that are left over from the day before.

Really friendly shop on the edge of the Grainger Market, they are always happy to tell you about the different breads they have that day, and whats special about them.
I love their pies and quiches, which I think are baked throughout the day so they are normally hot from the oven (although I once burned my mouth as I couldn't wait for it to cool down) , they use quality ingredients so they are really tasty, the breads are great too not really much more than you would pay in a supermarket but ten times better!
Love the fact that they have different offers on all the time, and they introduce different products (not just changing gingerbread men to santas) and quite often have free samples!
Keep up the good work!

I bought a french loaf from the french oven with a frenchman. We ate it together and he assured me of its authenticity. It was a wonderful loaf and a wonderful day.
I also had a pastie, which was nice, and not as greasy as a greggs varietal.
I have begun to shop here quite often, the bread is marvelous.

My wife doesn't like fruitcake, so for our wedding we had a custom-made 3 tier chocolate cake from the French Oven. They provided an excellent service and an excellent cake complete with a cake-stand for our big day. The icing decorations were very realistic orchids, and the moist chocolate sponge cake went down very well with our guests! I'd definitely recommend them to friends & family. Andy & Kate

nice little bakery, lovely staff always helpful. The cakes range is fantastic, from blue berry to cherry. Probably the only bakers that have all the ingredients all through the cakes, not just on the top.

Yesterday I emailed the proprietor, Emma, to tell her that her map needed changing, and today I went along to buy some bread! As you would really, it being a bread shop :-)
Anyway, the lady behind the counter was very helpful, and described the bread that was on the back shelves, and I selected a mixed grain. Sitting infont of her on the counter was an interesting dark brown round loaf, with some bright pink bits showing through. She said it was Prawn and something!!! I nearly choked! She said "It's been really popular today and this is the only one left!" I decided I may need to gird my loins a bit more before delving into the dark art of baking to that extreme.
I asked if she had a list of the bread they do, and she handed me a Qype card! Whoo hoo for promoting Qype! Not so hot on getting me more info on produce sadly. Maybe a blackboard somewhere with "FreshToday" written on it and a list of bread and cakes available as well as the specials of the day would be very useful I feel.
The bread was lovely!

Owner's commentEmma-claudePhillips, 1 February 2011:Hi, thanks for the review the loaf was not prawn but prune, cherry and walnut haha. I fully agree that a blackboard is needed and will organise that asap. With regards to the loaves I will leave a printed list in the shop for you if you return- Kind regards EC

Hahahahaha! I was really sure she said prawn! I thought it was a brave choice of ingredient :-) Prune sounds much nicer. I will see if I can pop up later today for that list, and i'll spread the word! Thank you Emma!
