Artisan Bakery in Coventry Since 1970
Luxury Bakery was founded in 1970 by Alan and Jean Miles, establishing itself as Coventry's premier craft bakery. After their retirement in 1990, the business was continued by their son Paul and his wife Tracey, who expanded the operation while maintaining the original commitment to quality and tradition. Our philosophy centres on using locally sourced ingredients, including English wheat, to create products free from preservatives and artificial additives.Our team of City & Guilds-certified bakers combines over a century of collective experience to produce bread, cakes, and pastries renowned for their taste and quality. We have earned recognition for innovation, including awards for our mince pies and 'healthiest hot cross bun' from local media. Our shops in Alfall Road and Longford Road offer a warm welcome, with staff dedicated to providing exceptional service and products crafted to time-honoured recipes.
