Old-school bakery & a proper bread roll.

We open the shutters at seven, every day of the week. Bread rolls, baps and steak bakes — made the same way they always have been, served by the same friendly faces.

The freshly made bread rolls are THE BEST. I often have a large Turkey, Tuna or Egg salad bap. Always so tasty, filling and reasonably priced. The ladies are lovely, so welcoming and friendly too.

Arguably the best hot cross bun I have ever had. Took a pack back to Kent, popped them in the toaster and soon wished I had got more!

Nice old school bakery. Great place to visit on a Sunday morning as they open before most other places. The sausage rolls and steak bakes are our go to.

What’s in the window today.

Fresh in the morning, gone by the afternoon. Best to come early on a Sunday.
