Our Bakery
From the first bakery – a very simple space measuring no more than 9 square metres, our business has grown to include 6 shops and 4 specialised bakeries. Whilst machines have simplified a lot of the work, many of our products are still made by hand and we pride ourselves as being one of the few bakers that uses organic ingredients an all-wood oven for some of our specialised baked products.
We Do It All
Everything from Scratch
Every stage in the baking process is handled in-house by our master bakers and their experienced team. Every one of our products is made by us ‘from the ground up’ using locally sourced organic ingredients.
