Family bakers since 1983
Freshly baked bread, pastries and specialty cakes from our bakery in Ringwood — and tea rooms on the high street in Fordingbridge.
Our story
Your local family bakery
Our journey began in 1983 when Peter Ellis, a true artisan of the baking craft, and his wife Ruth embarked on a culinary adventure that has been a labour of love for over four decades. Peter's passion was ignited at 15 when he left school to work for a family-run bakery in Essex, later honing his skills at Southampton Bakery College where he was Top Student three years running.
What began as a small family enterprise has grown into a beloved local institution with a master bakery and two shops. We specialise in traditional baked goods made using long-fermentation methods, and the Ellis family's four children all play an active part in the business today.
— the same care in every bake, forty years on
