After more than 20 years retailing our bread and baked goods across Cornwall, I have made the difficult decision to close our retail bakery shops, in Falmouth, Wadebridge and Penzance, to focus on our thriving fresh and frozen wholesale business across the southwest.
Our retail shop and takeaway at our Pool Bakery on Wilson Way, Pool, will remain open; serving our full range of fresh bread and baked goods, open 8.30am-3pm Monday – Friday and 8.30am – 1pm Saturdays.
You can also continue to buy our breads, rolls, treats, and BBQ and breakfast bundles online as normal at https://bakertom.co.uk, for home delivery or collection at the Pool Bakery.
Baker Tom’s Bread can be found in independent retailers, farm shops and farmer’s markets throughout Cornwall and further afield, in addition to on the menu at cafés, pubs, restaurants, and other hospitality businesses!
Like many independent food businesses across in UK, we have faced significant increases in the cost of ingredients, energy and operating our shops, alongside rising high-street rental costs.
We appreciate this is sad news and we want to say a huge THANK YOU to every single one of our customers and retail team members over the years who have supported Baker Tom’s Bread shops. You have made Baker Tom’s what it is today and we are incredibly grateful for your loyalty, friendship and support over the years.
This is also the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the business, and we look forward to continuing doing what we love best – creating and delivering high-quality artisan bread and baked goods for Cornwall and beyond.
Tom
