Business description

Based in the North West, this established artisan bakery operating through both retail and wholesale channels, producing handcrafted viennoiserie, pastries and bread using traditional multi-day preparation techniques.

The bakery operates from a dedicated production facility alongside a separate retail café outlet. The production unit supports in-house manufacturing of croissants, cruffins, danishes, savoury pastries, seasonal limited-edition products and, following recent expansion, bread production. All items are prepared using structured fermentation and lamination processes designed to prioritise flavour, texture and consistency.

The retail site generates direct-to-consumer sales of pastries and specialty beverages, while wholesale distribution supplies a network of selected independent cafés and stockists across the surrounding region. High volumes of repeat custom supporting revenue stability, reflecting strong loyalty and consistent demand.

The business has demonstrated significant year-on-year growth, with turnover increasing from £846k in 2024 to £1m in 2025, reaching £1.2m in 2026. Turnover anticipated to continue on this upward trajectory in 2027. With consistent adjusted EBITDA each year.

Revenue is diversified across retail pastry sales (50%) beverages (10%) and wholesale supply (40%), providing balance between higher-margin direct sales and recurring trade partnerships.

Opportunities exist to expand the retail footprint, increase wholesale penetration and build on seasonal and limited-edition product launches that drive demand-led purchasing behaviour. Business trades 5 days a week, there is an opportunity for the business to run at optimal capacity by extending trade to 6 or even 7 days.

This represents an opportunity to acquire a structured artisan bakery operation with established brand recognition, dual-site infrastructure and a proven record of scalable growth within the premium food sector.
