Just saying fair well to our old home on Pavilion Road.
We had a wonderful 10years there, it was in many ways where we transformed the business and created many of the hero bakes that have become the biggest hits on our menu.
I like to remain philosophical about these things, when one door closes, another opens.
What goes around , comes around round and all that.
Onwards we march, New York is calling Bread Ahead, so that is where I’m heading next.

‼️Borough Market Update‼️
We’ve come to an agreement with Borough Market regarding our lease.
In a nutshell we won’t be leaving anytime soon.
So plenty of road ahead to enjoy our bakes and come on a baking course.
Roll on 2027!

Bread Ahead’s Future Bakers Project is a long-term initiative with an ambitious goal: to teach one million children and young adults to bake over the next decade. We’ve been working on this for the past year.
The project treats baking as a practical form of education. By learning to measure ingredients, prepare dough and follow a process from start to finish, young people gain useful kitchen skills and a greater understanding of the food they eat. Making something with their own hands also gives them opportunities to practise patience, solve problems and build confidence.
Future Bakers offers sessions led by Bread Ahead’s expert bakers at its Borough Market and Wembley bakery schools. Eligible schools can access these sessions free of charge. A free online video library allows young people to learn at home or at school, wherever they are.
At its heart, the project brings education and community together through the shared experience of baking. Its commitment to free access reflects a spirit of charity: opening up opportunities for young people who might otherwise face barriers to learning.
Through practical teaching and accessible resources, Future Bakers aims to give the next generation skills they can use and share throughout their lives.

At Bread Ahead, bread may be what we make, but people are what we’re really about.
We believe a great bakery is built from the inside out. That means investing in our people, sharing knowledge, developing talent and creating opportunities for everyone who becomes part of the Bread Ahead family.
Education has always been at the heart of what we do. From learning the fundamentals of baking to mastering a craft, we believe knowledge should be shared, skills should be passed on and people should always have the opportunity to grow.
And beyond our bakeries, it’s about community. The people we work with, the people we teach, the neighbourhoods we serve and everyone who walks through our doors.
Bread Ahead is more than flour, water and yeast. It’s people, community and education — coming together around something we all love.
