Derbyshire has some of the most storied bakeries in England. The Bakewell Pudding has been made in the town of the same name since the 1800s, with at least two establishments claiming to hold the original recipe. The Ashbourne Gingerbread Shop operates from a half-timbered building dating to 1492, producing gingerbread from a recipe that originated during the Napoleonic wars. Owlgreave Farm in Combs has been making traditional Derbyshire oatcakes on the same farm since 1949.
Beyond the heritage names, the county has a growing scene of artisan bakers producing sourdough, hand-shaped loaves, and pastries using traditional methods. Family bakeries like Luke Evans in Riddings supply fresh bread to communities across the county daily.
