The Bread Factory is the UK’s leading artisan bakery. We make award-winning bread, pastries, and cakes, and as well as supporting our neighbourhood bakeries at GAIL’s, we are the proud suppliers behind London’s Michelin restaurants, prestigious hotels, and even Buckingham Palace! We believe in making good bread. We may have grown over the years, but our philosophy has not changed… to make exceptional quality artisan bread, cakes, and pastries so more people can enjoy them. We bake by hand with natural ingredients, we insist on the finest ingredients, and though we’re always innovating, our baking is based on time‑honoured techniques and our decades‑old starters. Nothing pleasures us as much as a freshly baked, lovingly crafted loaf. Product is at the heart of our bakeries and everything we do must tell a story that inspires our people to support us on our journey of growth, leading the way for artisan baking in the UK.
