Products we’re loafing this Real Bread Week
This Saturday marks the start of
Real Bread Week, an annual international celebration of additive-free loaves
and the people who make them.
The awareness campaign has been
running for over ten years now, and aims to encourage people to buy from local,
independent bakeries and even to bake their own real bread at home! It’s no
secret that here at Creamline we’re passionate about supporting local, so there
was no better opportunity than now to sing the praises of our fabulous
supplier, Stockport’s Thatcher’s
Bakery.
Now run by Ross, a fifth-generation
Thatcher, the Bakery first opened its door way back in 1891 when it started
life as a two-up, two-down house in Stockport. The original founders were
William Thatcher and his wife Francis Anne, who had started baking pies in a
domestic oven before their plans got bigger and better, converting their house
into a general store. In the early 1970s they relocated to the premises Thatcher’s
still call home, sticking to their founders’ Stockport roots.
