About the workshop

Real Bread, Baked by Hand

Our artisan bakery is a workshop where people with learning disabilities learn to bake fresh bread and confectionery, mainly from organic ingredients. The bakery produces many types of loaves for the whole community, as well as buns, croissants and sweet treats.

Our bread is sold in the café from 11am and served with meals, and our bakers offer real bread and sweet products daily to the wider Milton Keynes community. For special orders, call 01908 308739.
