The bakery was established in 1890 .It maybe the oldest working bakery in the country.We still use the original coal fired ovens but these days we have to use coke instead. We keep to the original method of baking , as our award winning baker trained at Howards bakery at cromford , he also worked at the Bakewell pudding shop in Bakewell for 12 years , hence the great bread and the fantastic Bakewell puddings. We make a variety of bread which is baked fresh daily, white , wholemeal
granary , royal stewart. On a Friday and Saturday we make a range of specialist breads , rye , soda, multiseed, 50% 50% white wholemeal (these are very popular) and new to our range we have added artisan sour dough, corn and spelt, gluten and wheat free white. We also do a range of shapes and sizes, oven bottoms, bloomers, farmhouse , quarntons , large and small tin loaves. We do a large range of savouries , sausage rolls , bakehouse pasties . etc.... our cheese bread , cheese straws soon fly of our shelves (very popular with locals and tourists). Our cakes are all made on the premises which we do stock a large varity of them .The brownies , carrot, toffee, choc slices go down well with the school children aswell as our pies , sandwiches , pasties etc, better now that we have had the new pie warmer, they have no need to wait ....
We also do take out tea , coffee, pop , crisps. Our home made quiche is a favorite and our pizzas too....we class mostly everything home made as we live here on the job.. Watch out for our new range of toasties and meal deals , we will be starting these soon .... Thanks Ralph and April. Please feel free to come and browse and sample our goodies. come try our new coffee machine , real coffee..
