Our History
Our history began in 1867 when Senior Baines founded the bakery on School Lane, Uppingham. He passed on his passion for the trade to his son Edward Senior Baines, who carried on the running of the business in 1901. In the same year, he won the Gold Medal Bread award and a national association of Master Bakers competition, of which the certificate is still on display in the shop today. Throughout the years, our bakery has remained committed to providing high-quality products and exceptional customer service.
