Wholesale Artisan Bread and Pastries for Cafés in the Cotswolds
Your pastry counter and bread selection are the first things a customer notices when they walk in. In the Cotswolds, where visitors often arrive with high expectations, those first impressions count for a great deal. We help independent cafés get them right without the stress of baking everything in-house.
The Little Bakery Company supplies wholesale bread, pastries, cakes and traybakes to cafés across Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire.
We bake overnight in Moreton-in-Marsh and deliver every morning, seven days a week.
