Leicestershire's independent bakeries are crafting bread and baked goods with genuine character. The Garage Bakehouse in Market Harborough, self-described as possibly the smallest bakehouse on Earth, started in a converted garage in 2014 and has built a loyal following for its sourdough, Turkish bread, and famous cheese and Marmite swirls. Connor's Bakery in Hinckley specialises in organic and artisan handcrafted bread and pastries, valuing tradition and quality ingredients above all else.
Both operate on a scale that allows for the kind of care and attention that factory bakeries cannot replicate. Supporting a local bakery means your bread has travelled miles rather than hundreds of miles. Browse the bakery and grain producers below to see who's near you.
