A very nice bit of news for the team at The Leas this week ☺️ Thanks to everyone who gave us a vote, it really means a lot, and we’re lucky to have such a fantastic (and hungry!) bunch of customers.

Also, if anyone does read the article….it was Norman, Simon’s grandad who first started the bakery. Simon took over from his Dad, Ken! 😅

The votes have been counted - and we can now reveal The Northern Echo's Best Bakery in Darlington and County Durham.
