Hello

Welcome to the website for Hempnall Village Bakery. We are a small family run artisan bakery business producing fresh sourdough & long fermentation breads and delicious cakes and pastries. 


Please note that we have recently made some changes to our bakery routine.

We are no longer offering collections and a pop up bread shop every Saturday. We have been in pursuit of a better work life balance as a family for some time, and particularly since the arrival of our little boy in January it has become clear that our current baking regime is not sustainable at the moment. We don't want to stop baking for you all but we will be moving to a more part time structure with bread available every fortnight and one big pastry pop-up every month. We hope you all understand this decision. I have tried to describe the new routine clearly below but if you have any questions or something isn't clear please do get in touch. 


SATURDAY COLLECTIONS & POP-UP:  

We hold a pop-up bakery shop at Hempnall Mill Centre one Saturday morning each month 9am-1pm. Please see below for the schedule of upcoming dates. We encourage customers to order their loaves in advance to collect at the pop up as this helps us to reduce waste and make sure everyone gets what they want. There will usually be a cake or brownie on the website that can be preordered, as well as croissants, pain au chocolate and our classic vanilla cruffins. There are also pastries, savouries and other goodies on the counter on Saturdays that are available on a first-come-first-served basis. 

FRIDAY BREAD ONLY COLLECTIONS: 

In addition to the monthly pop ups we are also offering a simple bread only bake once a month, two weeks before the pop up. Please see below for the schedule of upcoming dates. This means that bread is available for our regular customers at least every fortnight. This bake will be bread only and pre-ordered collections only. Collection will be Friday 4pm-6pm from the bakery unit in Morningthorpe with the back up option of collecting from us at home in Hempnall on the Saturday morning. We will get in touch to confirm collection details once you have placed an order. 

DEADLINE FOR ALL ORDERS IS MIDNIGHT THE PREVIOUS WEDNESDAY.

Dates for the rest of the year are:


Friday 2nd August - bread only bake

Saturday 17th August - full pop up 

Saturday 31st August - full pop up 

Friday 13th Sept - bread only 

Saturday 28th Sept - full pop up 

Friday 11th Oct - bread only 

Saturday 26th Oct - full pop up 

Friday 08th Nov - bread only

Saturday 23rd Nov - full pop up 

Friday 06th Dec - bread only 

Saturday 21st Dec - full pop up

Order books will open for each bake 4 weeks before. If you would like to be added to the email list to be kept informed of updates, and weekly menus please signup here or if you have any questions please get in touch by emailing enquiries@hempnallbakery.co.uk or using the contact form on the website.  Thank you all for your support.
