Our award-winning breads, savouries, cakes, scones and pastries are hand-made from scratch and baked on the premises in brick-floored ovens. We bake using the time-honoured practice of taking time and the simple ingredients of flour, water, levain for sourdoughs and yeast for everyday loaves. Our bread is free from added fats, improvers and sugar.
Most loaves are vegan friendly (breads with cheese, brioche and teacakes are the exception). Plus our products are recognised by the excellent Great Taste Awards. We are proud to be members of the Guild of Fine Food and the Real Bread Campaign. You can buy in store or shop online for delivery which despatches midweek via a next-day service to most UK addresses.

Every plate achieves that elusive, cuisine-defining balance of sweet, salty, and sour - even dessert. This website showcases the quality of products and service as well as the rich history of the bakery. Users can also place orders online and arrange for delivery. We are looking forward to a busy summer season, but are aware of making sure this is done in a safe and sensible way for everyone.
Partners Caroline Parkins, Paul Barnett and Jemima Dasent took over Leakers Bakery back in 2002 with a determination to put real bread back on the menu. In the bakery our Head Baker Artur oversees a small team of highly skilled bakers, who hand-mould and bake bread in our brick floored ovens to traditional methods.
Here are a selection of links that you may find of interest - from places where you can buy our bread through to websites of local interest. The finest deli to be found in the Dorchester area, offeirng an impressive range of the best quality cheeses as well as chutneys, olives and other award-winning artisan foods.

Fabulous baked goods. Staff helped me order as so much choice, and she was super helpful and chatty.
Ordered
Goats cheese tart, I adored this, cheese, with more cheese, with onion, tomatoes and egg custard gumminess
Cheese straw, more cheese than straw excellent!
Cheese nut, onion pasty - definitely different, tasty and packed with flavour
Cinnamon pastry - as I love cinnamon, flaky and buttery
Apple Cake - delicious, hubby scoffed the lot in seconds, and is currently looking up recipes online.
Will be returning here.

So taken by this traditional independent bakery, selling the most appetising array of sweet treats and unique breads. Everything looked incredible, wish I could have tried all of them. Lovely to hear of the history on the website and I wish you many more years of success, from a passing visitor. Thank you!

This is the high end bakery in Bridport, they concentrate on whole-meal and healthy. They make very nice cakes, the Jurassic slice and the victoria sandwich are awesome but the almond croissant is a 10 brick.
The meringues here are the best I've ever tasted and the Eaton Mess is mind-blowing.
Some products are fantastic and others are anything but.
