We all live within a few miles of the bakery but have
taken very different paths to get here.

Owners David and Hannah are lovers of all things hilly. In 2018 having commuted most weekends to Swaledale from their base in the flatlands of Cambridge, they decided to move here permanently. They didn’t ever imagine translating their passion for food into a day job, but the opportunity to start new careers that rooted them in their local community was too tempting to pass up. Hannah makes the bread and pastries and David is the face of the Bakery out on the road delivering to our lovely wholesale customers.

We couldn’t do what we do without our fabulous team - Lindsay, Edmund and Naomi (bread and pastries), Ali (chef and savoury pastries), Cheryl, Naomi, Rebecca and Nikki (front of house) and last but not least Brandon (Bakery assistant) - all of whom live in the “two dales” of Swaledale or Arkengarthdale.

We’re always interested in talking to people who’d like to work with us - especially potential bakers!
