Hi and welcome to the Crocodile Bakery, where we make sourdough breads and sourdough cinnamon buns. We are a wholesale bakery for most of the year but during these warmer months we sell direct in the campsites around Croyde (see below), you can also order directly by messaging us.

Here is the plan for June:

Bake days - Mon, Wed, Fri and Sat. This will change to Mon - Sat (6 days) once schools start breaking up later in June.

Campsites
We sell at Combas Farm, Cherry Tree Farm, Freshwell and Camping Croyde Bay. We will turn up at each campsite between 8-9am on Mon, Wed, Fri and Saturday with bread and cinbuns. We move through each campsite but sometimes we sell out very quickly so unless you’re in quick you might not see us. Best way to guarantee is to message us prior to either order or try intercept one of the team before they sell out.
We will increase our presence to Mon-Sat as schools start breaking up later in June and through summer.

Croyde and Georgeham
Croyde post shop and Georgeham Stores stock our bread everyday we bake. Cinnamon buns are stoked Mon, Wed and Saturday.
The Blue Groove has our bread in their menu as well so definitely worth stopping in there for a meal.

Woolacombe
Spar Woolacombe stock our bread every bake day. South Street Takeway stock our Cinnamon Buns every bake day, they also take preorders which is a great way to lock in a guaranteed bun!

Braunton
Shack n Pantry stock our Cinnamon buns on Wednesdays and have our sourdough bread in their menu. The Worx which is based in the new Surfed Out building in Chivener has cinnamon buns on Fridays and over the weekend

Delivery
Amary Farm offer organic locally grown veg boxes where you can also order our breads. Delivery is on Wednesday.

We hope if you live here or if you are visiting one of our many selling points will work for you.…thanks as always for all the support and for choosing our products.

We massively appreciate all of you.

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

We are also doing our ‘becoming famous’ sourdough Cinnamon buns👌🏼

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 👍🏼
