Throughout all of history, baking has always been a Proper Job - and today it’s one of the fastest growing sectors of the food industry.

Our fresh in-store bakeries are a huge part of what makes Market Street special. From fresh bread and rolls to baps, barms, cobs, and jam doughnuts, our Bakers craft delicious baked goods every single day
