The baking story of King's Lynn
King's Lynn was one of England's most important medieval ports, closely tied to the Hanseatic League's trading network, and its waterfront warehouses, merchants' houses and Custom House survive in remarkable numbers. The town is unusual in having two great market places named after the days they traded: the Tuesday Market Place and the Saturday Market Place. Lynn sits where the Great Ouse meets the Wash, and the surrounding marshes and fields supply samphire, shellfish and some of England's most productive farmland. Norfolk baking traditions such as layered shortcakes and light dumplings are popular here, and local bakers make the most of Fenland and West Norfolk produce.
Local bakes to look out for
- Norfolk shortcake – A flaky, layered cake of pastry, lard, sugar and currants.
- Norfolk dumpling – A light bread-dough dumpling cooked on top of stew.
Bakery hunter's tip: Explore both the Tuesday Market Place and the Saturday Market Place, then walk the historic quayside; in summer, look for fresh samphire from the Wash.
Did you know? King's Lynn's Hanse House is the only surviving Hanseatic League warehouse in England.
