Robinsons Artisan Family Bakery

Hi, it’s Grace here!
As some of you may know, I moved to Denver, Colorado last year.
I brought some heritage with me and started a micro bakery out here.

This week’s special sourdough is Honey & Fennel Seed!

Back in the UK, our bakery Robinsons Artisan Family Bakery was never really bothered by competitions and earning awards. We focused on keeping our customers happy and coming back for more.
Each week we created a special sourdough and this is one of the ones we got the most feedback for. So one autumn, my dad and I were going to a bakery show, we decided to enter this loaf for fun. We got second place!

Now, at the bakery we baked free form sourdough loaves, and here I bake in tins. But that’s the only difference! And when our bakery closed in 2023, I kept our sourdough starter (Ethel) and she’s the starter I still use today!

These loaves are available to order for this week.
Want one?
Send over a message!
And don’t forget if it’s your first order with you’ll get 25% off 🥰

Limited number daily, so don’t wait to order.

Love and Heritage

It’s been two years.

Two years since we said goodbye to 69/71 Ashton Road East. It was our home for 70 years.
But times move people on. Before we baked at 69/71 Ashton Rd East, Grandad Robinson’s bakery was on Rochdale Road. Before that Angel Meadows.

Now?
You can find Emma in her bakery Betty Bakes in Failsworth and Grace at Sunshine Baker in Denver.

Mum and Dad are happily retired.
Mum spends her day in her favourite place - her beautiful garden, Monty Don would be proud!
And Dad is always busy with his walking group, golfing, and baking at home!

It’ll forever be in our DNA. Nature AND Nurture 💖

And all of you who made us feel like every day was worth it, thank you. We got through the pain, we found our feet and we started again.

And so here we are.
At the end of an era.

Passed down through six generations, learning all the way.

Via our bakery shops, wholesale across the north west to some of the finest restaurants, bars, coffee shops and stores as well as market stalls left right and centre (and in all weather too!) and the odd package sent out in the post, our fabulous goodies managed to find their way to you for almost 160 years.

We started at Angel Meadow and ended in Failsworth - just short of four miles away, we always wanted to be a local bakery and I think we achieved that with huge success. We took great pride in what we made and the service we provided and we are sure our team will take all those skills and use them wherever they end up in their futures.

To all the people who have joined us over the years - thank you. Staff and customers, suppliers and awesome people in the industry. Without you this little hub we had wouldn’t have been the same. And it truly was fantastic.

But the saying goes…. All good things come to an end.

Our social media pages will always be ours so get in touch whenever you want! We have a lot of messages to get through but over time we will.

Love, forever
David, Sue, Grace & Emma
