Beyond London - 10 regional bakeries putting their towns on the map

description: From Eccles cakes in Suffolk to sourdough in Wales and croissants in Scotland, these are the British bakeries worth travelling for
encoded: When I first embarked on the task of discovering and documenting Britain’s best bakeries I set myself the goal of uncovering the city favourites, but also the specialist independent businesses tucked away in more remote towns and neighbourhoods. The idea was for the book to tell the stories of bakeries worth making a trip for – whether that’s a 5 minute stroll from your home (in pyjamas), or a mini-break designed entirely around a destination bakery. These ten bakeries, all featured in the second edition of my book wonderfully serve the towns they are located in – making wholesome bread and beautiful viennoisserie that both satisfy locals and thrill visiting bakery fans. Imma, Henley-on-Thames The Van Alloys Industrial Estate on the outskirts of Henley isn’t the most glamorous destination, but this unusual location makes Imma even more of a revelation. Owner Tona Erreguin’s previous ventures include two philosophy PhDs and running a fine dining restaurant in Mexico. Preferring the title ‘Head Chef’ to ‘Baker’, she brings culinary flair and creativity to Imma’s goods (the orange curd and meringue pastry, finished with a scalding-hot blast from an iron, is just one example of her anarchic food alchemy). But Imma also do the classics very well. Their Oxford Country Loaf, with a beautiful leafy illustration scored into its crust, was declared the best sourdough in the country at Britain’s Best Loaf 2024 competition (Imma added three more gold medals to their haul the following year). Most lycra-clad visitors swing by after a cycle ride and get their goods to go, but if you’re enjoying a slower morning, there are seats to perch on and coffee made from locally roasted beans. immabakery.com Pump Street Bakery, Orford The dusty-pink facade of this pioneering speciality bakery has become almost as iconic as the sweet creations they sell inside. Pump Street Bakery was one of the first destination artisan bakeries in the UK and are well known for their craft chocolate, made by…

description: From top-notch brunches and bakeries to bao buns and special occasion restaurants, this is an insider guide to where to eat in Tooting
encoded: Tooting doesn’t try too hard, with all the grit and authenticity a true London neighbourhood should have, but with a sprinkling of gentrification. This exciting mix ensures it’s satisfyingly varied for locals and thrillingly unexpected for occasional visitors. Speciality coffee and independent bakery fans will be delighted with the offering, while foodies looking for something different to sink their teeth into will rush with anticipation to the Afghan, Spanish and Taiwanese outposts. For more south London restaurant recommendations, check out our guides to the best restaurants in Battersea or the best restaurants in Brixton. Best places to eat and drink in Tooting Juliet's Quality Foods My local happy place and quite honestly one of the reasons I started looking to live in Tooting. This is an Aussie-style brunch spot everyone wants within walking distance. Uber-talented Julian Porter is at the helm and the menu is filled with his travel-inspired dishes. But it’s the trusty classics like Sweet Maria (sweetcorn fritters with grilled halloumi, tomato, coriander, avocado and homemade kasundi sauce) that ensure this cool spot is always busy. I have been known to Deliveroo the dark chocolate, marshmallow and sea salt cookies to my house in sugar-desperate moments. @julietsqualityfoods Cut the Mustard While some bakeries produce overly sweet hybrid bakes to follow the trends, Cut the Mustard keeps things classic with unbeatable French-style viennoiserie. This small scale bakery has a handful of branches across south-west London and continues to grow. Expect perfectly poured coffee (from UK roastery Campbell & Syme), buttery pain an chocolats and cakes so moist it will dictate an afternoon tea break. cutthemustardcafe.com The Little Taperia This charming restaurant finds itself on every top Tooting eats list for good reason. Spanish classics reign supreme here – pan con tomate, croquetas de jamón and tortilla sit alongside its own creations (morcilla scotch eggs never leav…

Jump to: The best places to eat and drink in Oxford Where to stay in Oxford Best places to eat and drink in Oxford Pompette – for French fare and wine Pompette, meaning tipsy in French, is run by husband-and-wife duo Laura and Pascal Wiedemann. The focus is on French classics with European influences, from the food to the design: start with warm bread (all of which comes from local French bakery Gatineau), slathered with butter and sprinkled with sea salt from dinky pots on the table. Order the piping hot croquettes to share, oozing with a gently spiced roux sauce and nuggets of ham. Desserts are not to be missed, from hearty choux buns laced with boozy cherries and a glossy chocolate sauce to crisp meringues loaded with lightly-whipped vanilla cream, chunks of juicy rhubarb and pistachios. Wine is the focus when it comes to drinks, from natural and low-intervention to sweet orange options from Georgia but it’s the French wines that really shine. pompetterestaurant.co.uk Permit Room – for Indian sharing plates The sister restaurant to Dishoom, Permit Room now has three locations, with a fourth opening in May 2025, that all embrace the now familiar Irani café vibe of the popular restaurant. Tucked down one of Oxford’s oldest city streets, Permit Room serves up breakfast, lunch and dinner with menus that feature all the Dishoom favourites, refreshing cocktails and its famous house chai. As expected, this place is all about sharing, no matter your party size, so make sure you pick something from each section of the menu. We’d say four to five plates for a tab…

encoded: London's bakery boom is showing no signs of slowing down – every week there is a new opening to queue up for or a one-off collaboration bake to try. In all honesty, there are so many great, interesting new bakeries in the UK right now I feel I could fill a whole book of worthy and delicious businesses. It can be tiring to differentiate and decide where to spend your time and money (a beautifully hand-crafted seasonal danish could easily cost you £6-7); my recommendation? Avoid the sugary sweet chains and head to these unique bakeries, all doing something a little bit different… For more London restaurant guides, check out our guides to the best pizza places in London, best London wine bars and best London pubs with great food, and find more of the UK's best bakeries in Milly's book, Britain's Best Bakeries, here. 10 unique bakeries in London Arôme Arôme have two central London spots, dedicated to classic French viennoiserie with an Asian twist. The Instagram-friendly counter is reliably alluring with rows of their iconic honey-toast, baskets of perfectly-proved pain au chocolat, and inventive savoury creations – the miso bacon escargot is an addictive umami hit. The display is refreshed constantly as it sells fast, and the bakers work relentlessly throughout the morning. The minimalist spaces are designed by Taiwanese artist and architect Rain Wu, who has ensured the interiors are as beautiful and considered as the bakes. instagram.com/aromebakerylondon Bunhead Herne Hill’s humble Bunhead opened just a year ago - when self-taught baker Sara Assad-Mannings took the plunge to move her home lockdown business to a permanent site to give customers a taste of her Palestinian flavours. It may be a small shop, but the crew here have endless personality and charm, and a visit will always put a smile on your face.

encoded: Looking for Penzance restaurants? Here are our favourite restaurants in the Cornish town. Although Penzance may lack the cachet of neighbouring St Ives and Padstow, it has a rootsy, sea-blown charm that feels gutsier than many of Cornwall’s harbour towns. Its streets and shopping arcades are ramshackle and bohemian, and the place is bathed in that same soft, wispy light that has inspired artists for centuries. Drawn by its no-fuss atmosphere and supportive community, artisans have moved in, seeking an affordable, unpretentious place to develop their products.

Jump to: Best places to eat and drink in Penzance Where to stay in Penzance Best places to eat and drink in Penzance Loafs This neighbourhood bakery, found in the heart of Penzance, is a one-stop shop for all things baked, from hearty sausage rolls and sandwiches, to creative cruffins and all the classics in-between. Speciality coffee is on offer to complement your pastry, made using beans from the brilliant Square Mile Coffee Roasters. The black-tiled exterior and fun branding shows it doesn't take itself too seriously, but when it comes to bread and croissants, it's not messing around. instagram.com/loafsbakery/ Barbican Bistro Barbican Bistro is a family affair, run by local brothers Jack and Jay Liddicoat. The duo pride themselves on championing suppliers from the area, including fish from their dad Shane, who delivers it straight off the boat from Newlyn. The charming historic building overlooks Penzance Harbour and has a menu of small plates to share – highlights include crab croquettes with brown crab mayo and lemon sole fillets with wild mushrooms and garlic. barbicanbistro.com Pizza Plz Found on Market Jew Street in the very centre of town, Pizza Plz serves Neapolitan-inspired pizza and Italian bar snacks.
