Hambleton Bakery

About

Winners of both Silver & Bronze awards at the World Bread Awards 2017

West Bridgford’s Hambleton Bakery Shop in Melton Road and is proving a winner with residents and visitors. Hambleton Bakery, which took the title of Britain’s Best Bakery in the 2012 ITV show, is famed for its artisan breads which include Sourdough, Spelt and Rye as well as delicious savouries, cakes and desserts.

Head Baker, Julian Carter, is a 10th generation baker and was crowned Baker of the Year at the Bakery Industry Awards in 2013. “I particularly enjoy traditional bread making using starter doughs, long ferments plus local and natural ingredients. All of our bread, savouries and cakes are made without preservatives and as a result many of our customers are surprised at how different they are from supermarket loaves.”

Owned by Tim Hart, who also runs city centre hotel and restaurant Hart’s, as well as the Michelin starred Hambleton Hall on Rutland Water, the new shop is part of an expansion plan that has already seen the bakery premises at Exton in Rutland double in size. Tim Hart, added, “Introducing a new audience to the taste and flavour benefits of traditionally made bread is immensely exciting. Although Hambleton bread is already sold at delis and farm shops in the area, the Melton Road Shop allows us to showcase so much more of the range.

“Melton Road is the perfect location for us. It is fast becoming the recognised home of high quality independent shops in West Bridgford and surrounding villages.”

The shop can be found at 101 Melton Road, West Bridgford and is open Monday- Saturday from 8am to 5pm.
