Sourdough Hot Cross Buns available from local stores or message us directly for any bulk family orders.

Last year we did a small batch and had three people say to us these were the best Hot Cross Buns they had ever tried which was very encouraging to hear. This year we plan to do a few more but we are not going crazy so the best way to make sure you get some is to order directly.

Happy Spring everyone

Firstly, thank you to everyone who has supported us in 2025. We are so grateful to every one of you.

Secondly, we have been running for just over 18 months now and for the most part we have worked all the way through. If you are not familiar with sourdough baking…when a sourdough baker says they are on holiday for 5 days it usually means 2 or 3 because there are 2-3 days prep before every bake day! So 5 days off usually means a weekend 😂

Because we are a husband and wife business at the moment (and unable to employ people to help with the baking due to premises restrictions) we sadly have to close if we are to have a break. This is absolutely not what we want to do as our business concept has always been to serve the local community year round but after working for the last 18 months we realise it’s not sustainable. So…a Jan break is gonna be perfect.

We will return with a fresh sourdough fire in Feb… we hope to see you there 🤙🏼

Cawthornes has been our only selling point in Braunton which means there is now an opportunity. If you are a business owner who would like to stock our Sourdough bread or Cinnamon Buns then please reach out. We prefer to not sell in multiple locations in one village so the door is open for now but might close quickly (or could stay open for ages🤣 ). Send us a message if you are interested.

Lastly thank you to Cawthornes who have been great to help grow our business over the past 18 months. We are very grateful for their support and all the lovely staff there have been great to work with. Thanks again 👍🏼

Been a while since we posted so here is a little update.

Firstly, we are so grateful for all the support over the summer. This is by far our busiest time of year and we are very thankful for the local support but also for all those who visit the area and choose to buy our products. Thank you.

Secondly, we are taking a break/holiday this week! We are dropping off our last bake today (Monday 8th Sept) for the week. The next bake will be next Monday 15th Sept. We have done a few extras so hopefully no one will miss out on their weekly sourdough hit. (Sorry, no cinnamon buns today either😬)

Lastly, this summer has been incredible and we have absolutely maxed out our baking capacity in the space we have. That said we are looking to expand (slightly) and move into a commercial space ideally in Croyde or Georgeham. So if anyone has a space or connection to someone that does please message us as we would love to be able to take the bakery to the next level for 2026

Thanks again for all the support.

Our very first organic gluten free loaf to go to market. It is very important to know that our bakery is very small and although the bread is made with 100% organic gluten-free ingredients, it would not be suitable for coeliacs.

It’s taken us a long time to get this recipe to a place that we think is worthy the market but we can now confidently offer this to you knowing that this is a really great product for anyone that suffers with gluten intolerance

We had a number of gluten-free taste testers who have given us some great feedback two of them both said “ this is the best gluten-free bread I’ve ever tasted”

We really hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed coming up with the recipe. We understand it can be really hard for those that are gluten-free to find not just healthy but tasty products so we have really tried to make something special for you.

These will only be sold by pre-order so please message us directly if you would like to order your gluten-free loaves today.

Sourdough loaves are incredible on day 1-3 as bread and anytime after this great as toast.. this is for an uncut loaf. Once a loaf is cut open it will start to lose moisture faster.

Sourdough Cinnamon Buns are similar but because they don’t have a thick crust will be more affected by the humidity and temp of the surrounding air. From our experience day 1-3 are still fresh, after this microwave them for 20 secs to bring them back to their former glory.

Hope this is helpful😊

Thanks again for all the support!
