Country Cottage Bakery was founded in the mid 70's in the heart of the historic market town of Bideford, and has been owned and run by us since 1990. Hi, I'm Graham born and bred in Northam and started work in a local bakery about the same time Country Cottage Bakery was founded. Having done my apprenticeship and later progressing to managing two local bakeries I decided to go it alone.

Well that's not strictly true because by then I was happily married to my wife Deana and we had three children all aged five (yes, you've guessed it, triplets). It was a very traditional setup with the bakery nestled behind the shop and on view to our customers. We started with seven employees, now we employ a fourty-one strong workforce (one of which was in my original seven).

Bought a pack of fruit scones today. Sadly, they were extremely hard and would have needed lashings of cream to make them at all palatable. Had to bin them. In contrast, the wholemeal loaf purchased at the same time was excellent. Possibly the scones were from a previous day- anyone would know they don't keep.

So great to be able to get some lardy cake at last whilst visiting Bideford. Don’t often see it elsewhere so it was a treat for me. One of the things I miss about Bideford! A great bakery. Bonus to meet an old friend Nikki.

Amazing pies, pasties, quiche and cakes, on a cold day like today the meat and potato pie went down a treat, friendly staff and good prices.

Amazing pasties!!!! So well seasoned, generous and nicely balanced fillings. Pastry itself was deliciously fresh and crispy. Highlight of our day walking around Bideford!
Cornwall, eat your heart out.
P.S. I put clotted cream on my scones before jam.

We deliver to bakeries all round the south west and Wales and its always a treat to go here. Always clean, always friendly and the food is brilliant. Highlights for me are the traditional pasties, Breakfast brunchies and the toffee cream doughnuts. Also the new coffee machine is great 👍👍
