It’s a fact, Brits love bakeries.

They spend hours queueing to get their hands on a croissant or a freshly baked sourdough!

We’re bread fanatics with a burning desire to change the industry

"Real bread was part of my upbringing. My dad’s a baker and from a young age, he taught me how to bake bread with just flour, water and salt — no additives or nasties." Sophia - Founder
