The Baker is a small artisan bakery founded in 2004 by Duncan Poyser. The term “ Artisan “ simply means that we use few automated processes relying instead on traditional methods, using long fermentation to develop the full flavour of the dough and hand moulding each individual loaf, no two loaves will look exactly alike!

All our breads are made without stabilisers, chemical enhancers or E numbers, are completely natural and made using stone-ground organic flour from award winning Shipton Mill in Gloucester and original recipe’s by The Baker. We are interested in quality rather than quantity, making and baking in small batches, aiming to source the best ingredients for the products we make.

We have a passion for bread and as a neighbourhood bakery we feel that the daily ritual of buying bread locally is important. Dough is a living thing and bread is a highly nutritious food in all its many varieties

You owe it to yourself to eat good Bread!
