Gilchrist family have been perfecting the art of baking for 7 decades, now passed down to the 4th generation of bakers.
We have many years’ experience in baking delicious quality bread, with care love going into every loaf of bread and product we bake. Our products are baked by skilled bakers – in the traditional way. We bake bread as we have done for four generations, using the traditional sponge and dough method (taking 18 hours). Every day, our bakers hand mould our rolls, pastries and cakes, ensuring that every batch is crafted to the highest standards and quality. We can safely say that there’s nowt fresher than a Gilchrist loaf.
Our ingredients are locally sourced – we support other local businesses to build a stronger local economy and community. This is better for our environment, as souring locally reduces the carbon footprint of supplies. Folk come to us for their daily bread, satisfying breakfast and lunchtime butties.
As a baker you see wonderful things, like a piece of dough going into the oven and coming out as a beautiful loaf.
