Who We Are
We Love Baking
We pride ourselves on supplying wholesalers and national accounts across the UK with delicious, simple bread done right. We follow a simple approach to baking that combines traditional techniques with modern food trends to produce exceptional breads and sweet bakery products. Contact us now.
Many of our bestselling products are hand-crafted to preserve the art of real bread making. All our breads contain the finest ingredients. Our wheat flour is from family-owned millers, while our rapeseed oil is sourced locally. Both these key ingredients come from Red Tractor accredited farms to support British farmers.

Real bread
making skills
Innovation and creativity are at the heart of our business and having the freedom to create almost whatever we want is what gets us out of bed in the morning.
We love being different
While we focus our time and energy on making the best bread, sweet treats and frozen doughs we can, we also focus on making our products as delicious and accessible as possible. This is why in 2019 we removed all nuts from our bakeries. The following year we replaced all sesame seeds with linseeds, a tasty alternative that still gives a bun that classic seeded look. We want to go further though and believe plant-based is the future. By 2024 we’ll have a plant-based version for every product we sell, so all our products will be suitable for vegans all the way to meat-eaters. Download our catalogue here.
If you are looking for delicious, sweet treats, cakes and desserts that are using Wildfarmed flour, you should take a look at our sister company The Finest Cake Co and their decadent desserts.
Hand crafted
We use Wildfarmed flour
Everything we produce is Red Tractor certified from start to finish, field to plate, including our core ingredient, Wildfarmed flour. We use their regenerative flour to produce high-quality products which are not damaging the planet.
We Love British Ingredients
Wherever we can, we support British farmers. Like buying all our wheat flour from Red Tractor assured farms.
We Support British Farms
We also buy all Red Tractor assured rapeseed oil from Kentish Oils, based near our bakeries.
We love our people
We take bread making very seriously but ourselves less so. We run a very relaxed office and you won’t find anyone wearing a suit. Many of our team have worked here from day one and that’s testament to the very friendly family atmosphere. When we say we’re a family we really mean it. We have several generations of various families working in different departments within the business. We think it’s a great place to work and we love to show off our bakery to those customers who are kind enough to pop down and visit us in sunny Margate.

We love sustainability
In 2022 we worked with a team from Normative to calculate our carbon footprint, setting us off on the journey to go Net Zero by 2030. There are several ways we are planning to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions including: switching to renewable energy and electric ovens, using heat recovery technology to heat our offices, introducing an entirely electric company car fleet and going fully plant-based. Once we’ve gone fully plant-based our total eq emissions will reduce by 18%, a huge chunk of our emissions. These changes together, along with our other plans, will make a significant impact.
