Local Gem

Pipit Bakery

Wiltshire, Bradford on Avon - Bakery

There is a lot of local love for Clare Mansfield and Fred Mackenzie’s warm-hearted bakery at the centre of this ancient market town. Fred’s meticulous approach is evident in fragrant, gloriously crusted sourdough loaves and baguettes, flaky croissants and irresistible pastries. Come for the espresso buns and the seasonal fruit 'danish' riffs (blood orange on our visit) – they are popular for very good reason. However, for many fans, the most memorable creations often straddle the border of sweet and savoury – look out for the likes of fennel, salami and béchamel-filled croissants, or roast tomato, tomato jam and whipped ricotta danish.

What I really love is the interesting savoury Danish pastries and savoury croissants which is an excellent take on the Sweet counterparts. I’m also an avid fan of their wholemeal sourdough loaves and particularly their rye sourdough loaves as well. I always buy a job lot when I’m there and bring them home I’m hoping they will consider doing my order very soon!
