A true speciality bakery

Fradswell Community Bakehouse is not like any other bakery. Its total stock when it opens is usually about, er, ten loaves (though it’s considerably fewer when the doors close).
And it’s only open two hours a week… and it’s sited in a village hall!

The fact is that this is just one part of a community initiative in this tiny village to bring the local residents together. The village has no pub or shop – and the church is well outside the settlement – so the village hall is about the one place where everybody can meet each other.
But one has to have a reason to get together; and Barry (on the right in this photo) dreamt up this wheeze. The sales from the speciality breads not only support a simultaneous coffee morning but make a tidy profit for the fund-raising too.
And, yes, the villagers do turn up.

Oh – the bread? It’s incredible. Home-baked, and delicious. I bought three loaves: they taste better than cake.
They have pasties too. To die for.
