ARTISAN BREAD MAKERS BASED IN NESTON

Our day begins, sacks of flour are opened, baking trays are prepped and everything is weighed out from scratch. The team start mixing the dough, hand moulding the bread, pinning the rolls and shaping the sticks. After the right amount of proofing we are ready to start baking.

​

I love this time of the day, with the hum of activity, and I never tire of the aroma of freshly baked bread.

I like to think that we are keeping traditional baking techniques alive here. Whether that’s making bloomers, sticks or sourdough, cakes or pastries we are doing what generations of bakers have done before us.

​

As well as everyday breads, we make an increasing range of artisan breads too. At the moment, we have our ancient grain and ancient chia breads, spelt and honey loaves and well fired bread as well as apricot and walnut loaves and low GI multiseed bread, which are always popular with our customers.

​

We apply the same ethos to our cakes, pies and tarts. We make traditional favourites such as lemon drizzle, cherry, coffee and carrot loaf cakes, traybakes, biscuits and much loved bara brith, eccles cakes and apple pies. But we also love experimenting with our giant rocky roads, wonderful chocolate tarts and cookie pies being just some of our recent examples.

Since we were established in 1968, The Great British Bakehouse has grown to become the largest craft bakery on the Wirral with other selected retailers also stocking our products.
