A family run traditional bakery in the centre of historic Lichfield, Staffordshire, a stone's throw from the birthplace of the literary giant, Samuel Johnson. Today the bakery is led by brother and sister team, Duncan Hindley and Jackie Beaumont. We are the fourth generation of the family to work within the business since it was established in 1893 by our great grandfather.
We work with our small team of skilled and dedicated bakers producing quality handmade bread, cakes, pastries and biscuits. Our bread and cakes are a unique combination of traditional recipes handed down through the generations and new product innovations by Duncan Hindley and the baking team. It is very important to us as a small family run bakery, that our customers trust us to make good quality bread and cakes.

Services
Our traditional breads are all made by hand using scratch ingredients in our small bakery at the back of our Lichfield shop. We bake many types of bread in a range of shapes and sizes with a combination of flavours and textures. Spelt is an ancient variety of wheat which is popular with those that prefer to steer clear of modern wheats.
We offer a wide range of cakes and slices to cater for all taste. From the rare Japonaise Fancies and Pineapple Creams to the staples of Rocky Road and Flapjack. Checkout our range, you're sure to find something that is simply delicious. We are one of the few bakers still making Japonaise fancies today.
Our puff pastry and locally sourced meat creates the perfect gourmet sausage roll made with pork and either apple, chorizo or sage. Why not try our homemade quiches with either cheese, ham and mushroom. Our savouries make the perfect snack or lite bite. The smooth texture and earthy flavour of the mushrooms really dominates this generously filled quiche.
Why not come and unwind. Our caf is a great meeting place for that social get together with friends and family or simply a well-earned break from shopping. Choose from a delicious selection of freshly made food on our daily menu. Whether you fancy one of our sour dough cheese toasties or home-made soup with a chunk of rustic country, it is all made fresh to order.
This course is for anyone who has ever fancied having a go at baking bread and for people who have just started out but struggle to get that perfect loaf. As well as taking home the loaves you have baked, you will also take home a starter pack of fresh yeast, flour and all the information you need to get practicing.

Went in here to get a breakfast and it was very reasonable. The breakfast consisted of bacon, sausage, tomato, egg, mushrooms and baked beans with buttered toast. They do not like you swapping the ingredients if you don't like them, which was not a problem for us. Plenty of tea in the teapot as well. This was cheaper than a lot of places but was just as nice. Will go again if we are in Lichfield.

Popped into grab a takeaway cake from the counter. I brought 2 rocky roads priced at £1.75 each. I have to say these we were most awful tasting cakes I've brought. The cheapest chocolate tasting ingredients, and hints of ginger biscuits (as if it had been stored in a ginger container).
For the price you can get a far nicer cake from other places in Lichfield.

First time I have ordered so I will deal with the best bit first.. their Blackstone eggs...absolutely delicious!
Now the BLT.. I can't say the same.. cheap margarine is all could be tasted so we opened the sandwich to find hardly any bacon... for some strange reason it's been chopped up? Loads of fresh salad though.. not the best..

Dreadful experience ... only toasties/sandwiches on menu, served on paper plate, paper cup and disposable cutlery - 2 teas and 2 sandwiches nearly £15. Tables set out to make you feel like a leper, and atmosphere like Colditz. Other cafes using proper crockery etc, this is obviously just to save staff costs. Shocking.
