THE BREAD IS TAKING A HOLIDAY

We’re rapidly approaching the 2nd anniversary of the bakery and I thought it was probably high time to take a bit of a break, so we’ll be closed for a few days next week.

We’re open as normal for the rest of this week, then we’ll be closed until next Friday, 2nd October, when we’ll return to regular service.

Many thanks to all our customers for your ongoing support and we’ll catch you on the flipside, hopefully well rested!

It’s big market day in Retford!

This month’s theme is a celebration of all things cheesy, and to celebrate we’ve baked up some of our delicious Stilton, Walnut & Cranberry sourdough.

Even better, pick up any 3 of our delicious artisan cheeses from the fridge and we’ll throw in a box of crackers absolutely free (whilst stocks last of course!)

# # # # Job Opportunity # # #

As one of our lovely team is off to a new full time role, we are looking to expand the team on a permanent basis to cover 12 - 15 hours per week on a Friday (8-4) and Saturday (7:30- close)

The role will cover the retail side of the business and include the running of the counter and the coffee shop, and ensuring that all the stock levels and counters look good !

It will also include set up and close down, and operating the coffee machine, so barista experience is a big bonus ! You’ll need to be organised and used to working under pressure, and if you’ve had supervisory experience too that’s something that we are looking for.

We are a friendly bunch and there are plenty of perks with the job ! Salary is dependent on age and experience, the staff discount is amazing !

If you’re over 18 and interested in the role then please drop us a message with a bit about yourself, or drop a CV into the bakery or via email.

We are looking to interview and hire in the next week so what are you waiting for ??

Well, you’ve been asking, soooooo…

From today, you will now be able to get your hands on large soft white rolls from Vintage!

We know our traditional crusty white cobs sell like proverbial hotcakes, but sometimes there’s nothing like a bacon sarnie on a pillowy white bap to start your day!

Why not pop down and grab a couple, and treat yourself to a coffee and croissant break from the morning madness!

Is it the last weekend of summer ..? We hope not, although a bit cooler would be good as 40°C plus in the bakery isn’t nice..!

I started writing this at 7:30AM and the day has got away from me ! Thank you to everyone who came in today - we had a fabulous day and the farmers market looked really busy too !

So as we move through the summer holidays, we are losing a couple of our familiar faces behind the counter so…

We're looking for a 🌟Saturday Superstar🌟 to join the team at Vintage Bakery in Retford!

If you're 16 or over and looking for a weekend job, we need someone friendly and energetic to help out on our busiest day. It’s an early start but good fun, and you’ll be busy !

The role involves serving customers, keeping our counter displays looking great, and clearing tables (and of course the close down cleaning !)

You'll be working alongside an award-winning team (well, Will has the silver award to prove it!). If you’ve got food handling or barista experience then even better !

Pay is subject to age and experience, and we are looking for cover every weekend and some of the holidays too.

The perks:
Staff discount on all our award-winning bakes
Free hot drinks and treats on your shift
A great local team to work with

Pop into the shop to apply or drop us a message to find out more, but please… make it more than one or two words !! 😉

Morning all!

Heatwave number 86 of the year is here and it’s already reaching for 40 degrees in the bakery, so we’ve taken the decision to close our doors today to keep everyone safe and well as the mercury climbs into the afternoon.

We’ll be back in action tomorrow as it’s forecast to be a bit more sensible, and raring to go for a big market Saturday!

Thanks for your understanding.

We don’t do politics at Vintage Bakery - it’s a deeply personal thing that shouldn’t bleed into our ability to be a welcoming space for anyone and everyone.

With that in mind, the Mobile Food Consent license from Bassetlaw council is a gross mis-step, costing both travelling traders and hosting venues huge sums of money, and unfairly penalising small businesses across Bassetlaw. We supply a multitude of small “mobile” businesses, meaning a loss of business for them is a loss of business for us, a part of the “high street” and a “local business” they claim to support.

Small business needs you, the people, now more than ever. There will be traders who have left careers and invested life savings into their endeavours, and this punitive tax unfairly affects them. Support local businesses, support local mobile traders (and yes, support Ticking Clock Brew Co because they do make the finest b**r around here 😉)

Happy Saturday !!!

Will & the team are in the shop - and we’ve got a brand new drink today… yep, we are doing Iced Latte’s !!! And today if you order a double shot, its a free syrup 🥰

Pete and Elouise are at the Worksop Food Festival that’s on from 10-4. We have lots of focaccia and other goodies, and if you’re there around 1pm you may even catch the demo !

So it’s two chances to grab your weekend favourites !

So it’s just slightly cooler in the bakery than the Sahara…. And boy do we know it !!!

Will has been in overnight when it was supposed to be cooler, and we are fully stocked !!

That means all your Saturday favourite pastries, baguettes, sourdough and even focaccia are on the counter now !!!!

So come on down and grab those bbq essentials, or raid the cheese fridge and pack a picnic !!
