Bakery & Bread

The bakery adjoining the mill still has its original, coal-fired oven for you to see. The bakery worked up until the 1950s, 30 years after the mill had stopped and many people used to walk to the mill to collect their bread.

We still bake in the original bakery and sell a wide range of bread and cakes.

We also sell the flour that we use for our baking, and other speciality flours.
