HERITAGE BAKING IN THE HEART OF THE COTSWOLDS
At The Little Bakery Company, we infuse every cake, bake, and gift with the distinctive charm of the Cotswolds. Rooted in a rich tradition of heritage baking since 1928, we use cherished recipes and the finest local produce to craft treats that embody the true spirit of the region.
Our wholesale range is perfect for local cafés and businesses, while our stunning celebration cakes and thoughtfully curated gifts are designed to make special moments truly memorable.
Our bakeries in Bourton-on-the-Water and Burford are more than just places to enjoy delicious treats—they are warm, welcoming hubs where we connect with our community, support local producers, and celebrate the unique charm of the Cotswolds.
Every product and interaction at The Little Bakery Company reflects our commitment to quality, tradition, and the heart of this beautiful area.
what makes us
-
Family at heart
The best recipes are passed on through generations. That’s what makes our artisan loaves just right.
From our famous Crunchy Sourdough to our legendary Malted Loaf, our fluffy Croissants and beautiful Pastries, quality is at the heart of what we do.
-
baked with 96 years of experience
With our roots dating back to 1928, we use nearly a century of experience to create that perfect texture, that crunch, that softness and bake all day long in each shop.
Extended fermentation times ensure flavours can fully develop while creating a loaf that is still light on the stomach.
-
Community bakery, Locally Made
Our community is at the centre of our existence and we always get as much of what we can from what’s around us.
Ever since the very beginning, we have been supporting local economy with work placements, apprenticeships, partnering with local suppliers, and creating local products.
