Thank you x 1000. Little comments and feedback like this make the hard work, the stress and the hard days so worth it 🤗 We know we’re not perfect and our cafe looks far from perfect at the moment but we know we’re doing something right.

This is what small, local business is all about. Where you know your customers and they know you (and even if we don’t) we act like we do. 🤗

One of our lovely customers entered a flower arranging competition and came 2nd. She donated the arrangement to us as she said she wanted to give it to someone who always makes her day and put a smile on her face.

Despite all the hard days and the challenges this is why we do what we do.

Two of us loafers live in Matlock and we travel the road to the bakery. It’s always always beautiful no matter the weather but today it was worthy of stopping the car to take a photo. Aren’t we lucky? ☀️ 😊 ✨

Another great reason to own a bakery… you HAVE to try out the new drink options! Our brand new Toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate is available in Crich and Ashbourne and it is absolute perfection after a walk in the peaks. 🍂 🍁

Hey… we’ve kind of been a bit quiet again haven’t we? You see the thing is we’ve all got full time jobs within the bakery itself so managing social media too is… well too far down the list. This post may be the come back (it may not be).

We’ve had our fair few ups and down this year. The biggest down being the leak (I’ll come to that) closely followed by the engine dying in one of our vans (£7000 we really don’t want to spend… nor had spare… what small business these days just has £7k lying around).

Anyway… there have been some big ups too! We now supply the Dovecote restaurant at Morley Hayes which is just… WOW and the newly taken over C**k Inn at Mugginton. We’ve established a really great team in the bakery now too so we’re making progress.

Both shops (Crich and Ashbourne) need a bit of love. Crich more so. We finally got some money through for the insurance too so now we just need to plan when we close to do the work! We will keep you updated. I promise exciting things to come 🥰
