About artisan bakeries
'Artisan' is not a protected word in UK food law, so it is used for everything from genuine craft bakeries to supermarket loaves with a dusting of flour on top. On this site we use it for independent bakeries whose bread and pastry is made by hand on the premises, typically with long fermentation, few or no additives and a short shelf life. The open-data listings here cover small neighbourhood shops, railway-arch bakeries and market-stall operations.
What to order
- Country sourdough – The house loaf – a blend of white and wholemeal with a blistered crust and a gentle tang.
- Seeded rye or multigrain – Dense and nutty, it keeps longer than white bread and toasts brilliantly.
- Baguette or ficelle – Buy it warm and eat it the same day while the crust still crackles.
- Focaccia – Olive-oil-rich, dimpled and often topped with rosemary, onions or tomatoes.
- Butter croissant – A hand-laminated croissant shows the baker's patience with pastry as well as bread.
