Despite everything, we've actually made it to Keswick, despite the winds. Come and say hello.

We've been asked a few times about Folic Acid being added to our flours.

Basically it is the requirement by law of any mill producing over 500 tonnes per year to add folic acid to their white wheat flour. Not going to comment on the pros and cons of this but I've added a few links below for you to read.

We are a small bakery with very little space. We store all our wheat flours close together and, therefore, we cannot guarantee any of our wheat breads won't contain folic acid. To move to a smaller supplier would have significant cost, handling and storage implications for the business.

We do, however, sell products which are folic acid free. We sell spelt and 100% rye loaves. If you are worried about the addition of folic acid to wheat flour, we'd suggest you try these breads. We can make large and small, white or wholemeal spelt tin loaves and can make our 100% Rye Sourdough too. We may look into a spelt sourdough if demand is there.

If you would like to try these breads, then please drop us a line at [email protected].

Why Paddington Bear cake? Because it's a Marmalade Sandwich Cake!

The Fellside Gluten Free page is now live.

Please pop over and give us a follow.

Ok. So this page is now live. If you've found us, hello!

Despite baking bread in Cockermouth since 2011, Andy found in 2025 that he could no longer process gluten. He was feeling bloated all the time. It was affecting his energy levels. What an unfortunate circumstance for a baker to find himself in!

So Angela busied away trying to find good gluten free bread recipes. It took a while. A lot of trial and error. Then, suddenly, she managed to bake a loaf that looked like bread, smelled like bread and actually tasted like bread. We felt we couldn't hold on this just for ourselves. We had to make it for other people.

Fellside Gluten Free Bakery seemed the obvious thing to do.

Please bear with us as we ramp up our production. We're still in the early days so following us on here will help you to keep up with our progress. We have a unit, some recipes and a lot of encouragement from people we've told.

We'd love you to join us in our journey.

Back on Keswick Market today. Please be aware that Saturday is looking very windy again. We're monitoring the weather very closely. If you're local, it might be worth popping down and picking up your bread today. If you can't, email me and, if it gets called off on Saturday, I can arrange to drop it off somewhere you can pick it up.

Looking great today though. Love Autumn.

We got the keys to the new unit in Keswick yesterday. This will be the start of Fellside Gluten Free Bakery. It's going to take a few weeks to get the place ready and a few more weeks of practising and testing recipes. I guess we're on our way.

I'll set up separate social media accounts shortly so you can follow our progress without filling up The Coffee Kitchen Bakery's socials.

We're feeling a bit 'what have we done!' at the moment but as soon as we start baking in there I'm sure that will all change.

Must be a harvest festival coming up soon. This wheatsheaf is on its way to Sedbergh.

Hopefully this is the sort of gluten free bread we will be making at Fellside Gluten Free Bakery later this year. Just a taster for you....
