About the best French baguettes this side of the channel I have ever tasted. Absolutely superb shop for artisan cakes and breads.

Breads & pastries
We work around the clock to bake the best bread, pastries and cakes we can
We make our bread the old-fashioned way, using only natural ingredients: top quality flour, water, just enough sea salt, yeast and, most importantly, plenty of time. Our doughs take between 12 and 48 hours to rise. This results in wonderful ‘real’ bread that is easily digestible and naturally delicious.
Our pastries, made with premium French pastry butter, are exceptional in flavour and texture. Sweet fillings include crème patissière, home-made fruit curds, Belgian chocolate and the best quality fruit. Our sausage rolls are generously filled with locally-sourced free range meat. Cheese straws are laced with punchy farmhouse cheeses.

Please check our specials board, as daily specials may change from time to time. We also recommend that you call the bakery in advance to order a particular item to avoid disappointment, as popular breads and pastries can sell out early on busy days.
Cakes and Celebration Cakes
When it comes to cakes, we lean towards simple but delicious variations on classics. Best-sellers include our sensational double chocolate brownies, comforting tea-infused bread pudding, moist Earl Grey fruitcake and gluten-free orange & almond cake. Our hand-decorated gingerbread biscuits are a popular after-school treat for kids.
Like everything else at Holtwhites, we make all of our cakes and biscuits from scratch. We only use real ingredients, such as organic flour, free-range eggs and real butter, because we want everything to taste as good as it looks.
Our cake selection can vary from day to day, so it’s best to visit the bakery to see what we’ve got. If you want us to make something in particular, give us as much notice as possible and we’ll try our best to oblige.
Our Celebration cakes are made to order (we’ll need at least one week’s notice). Please see our celebration cakes menu or call the bakery for more information.

The Deli
Beautiful deli products to complement our baked goods
We stock a range of deli items made by producers who share our ethos and passion for their craft. Farmhouse cheeses, freshly-roasted coffee beans, craft beers, wines and preserves make the perfect partners for our breads, pastries and cakes.
Having lived in Spain and France, we have a soft spot for Spanish and French food and wine which can be found on our shelves alongside the best of British. We are proud to support other local producers and our deli range often includes locally-made cheeses, beers and preserves.
Our cheese counter boasts some of the very best British and continental farmhouse cheeses. Staples include full-flavoured Brie de Meaux, savoury farmhouse cheddars such as Westcombe or Montgomery’s and rich and complex Colston Bassett Stilton. Other fine cheeses make frequent appearances, from Appleby’s Cheshire to Wigmore. Our selection varies according to the season and also depending on what we fancy.
If you are looking for a particular cheese, or if you want to put together a cheeseboard for a dinner party or celebration, let us know and we will be happy to offer help and advice. We can also create Cheese Wedding Cakes which are increasingly popular with cheese-loving couples.
We always encourage customers to sample cheeses before they buy. If there’s something on our counter that you’d like to try, just ask. Cheeses and other deli products can also be sampled at our food, wine & beer tasting events and they feature heavily in our take-away lunch menu.
