About Hobbs House Bakery
Hobbs House Bakery is built on the belief that some things simply can’t be rushed. Every loaf and piece of confectionery is handmade with care, often using slow, overnight fermentation for richer flavour and a superior rise.
At the heart of the bakery is a 68-year-old Sourdough Starter, nurtured daily with flour and water. This living culture has produced countless authentic sourdough loaves and has been gifted to home bakers across the UK.
Now celebrating 100 years of baking, the bakery continues to honour traditional methods and classic family recipes from the 1920s, while embracing innovation from its skilled team.
