The story
Clare Mansfield and Fred Mackenzie run a warm-hearted bakery at the centre of Bradford on Avon, earning a Local Gem accolade in The Good Food Guide 2026. Fred applies a meticulous approach to his craft, prioritising precision and quality in every batch he produces.
Regulars return for fragrant, gloriously crusted sourdough loaves and baguettes that define the daily rhythm of the shop. Flaky croissants accompany these favourites, creating a solid foundation of baked goods that customers trust.
Popular requests include espresso buns and seasonal fruit danish riffs, such as a blood orange version that changes with availability. Savoury creations attract fans too, particularly a croissant stuffed with fennel, salami, and béchamel. A roast tomato danish loaded with tomato jam and whipped ricotta rounds out the selection with a touch of indulgence.
