Your Trusted Family-Run Bakery in Seahouses
Trotters Family Bakers is a third-generation family-run bakery established in 1969, rooted in Seahouses, Northumberland. Our heritage stems from John Trotter, who laid the foundation before passing the baton to his son Graeme, who expanded the business significantly during the early 2000s. Despite personal setbacks, including the loss of both John in 2000 and Graeme in 2019, the bakery continues under Nathan Trotter, preserving time-honoured recipes like Granny Trotters Fruit Cake. Our commitment to quality and innovation has earned recognition, including a second-place finish in the 2002 Scotch Pie World Championship.We specialise in artisan breads, cakes, pies, and pasties, baked fresh daily using traditional methods. Our refrigerated fleet delivers across the North East of England, Scottish Borders, and South of Scotland, serving major retailers like Morrisons and NHS outlets. We pride ourselves on loyal staff and customer relationships, ensuring our products remain a staple in local communities. Our dedication to excellence has sustained us through 50 years of trading, blending tradition with modern demands.
