Your Trusted Bakery in Waterfoot for Fresh Baked Goods
Established in 1947 by Michael Manning, our bakery began as a humble fish and chip shop before evolving into a trusted provider of quality baked goods. Frustrated by the pies available at the time, we began crafting our own, laying the foundation for a legacy of excellence. Today, we operate nine shops across East Lancashire, maintaining our commitment to premium ingredients and meticulous presentation. Our 75+ years of experience reflect a dedication to traditional baking methods and customer satisfaction. Each product is made with care, ensuring the same high standards set by our founder remain unchanged.We pride ourselves on sourcing locally where possible, supporting regional producers while delivering freshness to our customers. Our family-run ethos continues to drive our approach, blending heritage with modern demands. From daily bread to bespoke buffet creations, we cater to diverse needs while staying true to our core values. Our Waterfoot headquarters serves as the heart of operations, supplying all our shops with consistent quality. With generations of baking expertise, we remain focused on providing exceptional products and service to our community.
