We opened our flagship Bakery in Piccadilly Circus in Xmas 2016 to huge acclaim and fantastic reviews, now you can join our Central Production bakery in North Acton.

Our Values:

     Karma: What you give is what you get, and every act has consequence. This can be as simple as how you treat the people around you and your physical surroundings – respect given is respect gained.

     The right to learn: It is alright to experiment, as long as we learn from our failures as well as our successes. We are always looking to improve and try new things, regardless of outcome we can all learn something valuable.

We live our values everyday through consideration of others and our own behaviours and commitment to continuous learning and development.
