Common questions

How do I find a bakery near me?

Use "Bakeries near me" and allow location access, or type a postcode. We sort 10,113 UK bakeries by distance and show which ones are open right now, based on their published hours.

Where does the information come from?

Listings combine OpenStreetMap data, the Food Standards Agency hygiene register and our own research. Every bakery has its own page with its address, map, hours where known, hygiene rating and directions.

Which bakeries are open on a Sunday?

Open any city page and the status line on each bakery tells you who is open now. Bakery pages list the full week, including Sunday hours where the bakery has published them.

Can I find gluten-free, vegan, halal or eggless bakeries?

Yes. Each dietary style has its own page with a map and a near-me finder, so you can see the closest ones to you in a couple of taps.

Is it free to list my bakery?

Yes. Use the "Add a bakery" form to send new listings, opening hours or corrections. We check every submission before publishing.
