Devonshire bakery

Devonshire Bakery – Crowther’s Cake StudioDevonshire Bakery have been baking bread for 5 generations from their bakery in Cheshire.  A family run business which was started at the turn of the last century in Porter Street, Runcorn, by Fred Crowther, great grandfather of the present managing director, Robert Crowther now runs the business, along with his wife Jane, sister Kate, daughter Laura and niece Rebecca.

Devonshire Bakery’s skilled bakers are up very early every morning to ensure freshly baked quality products reach The Hollies Farm Shop daily.  They produce a wide selection of bread, made by traditional methods, bulk fermentation and sourdough are part of our everyday process. In addition to their weekly selection (white, wholemeal, multigrain, rye and French bread) they also produce speciality breads including sunflower and rye, ciabatta, fitty, spelt and low G.I. They are constantly developing new products to enhance their range.

We visited Devonshire Bakery recently to take a look at their Cake Studio which creates the most awesome occasion cakes.  Rebecca is so artistic that no cake is beyond the challenge!  ‘Individually design, fun and stylish celebration cakes made fresh to order’ is their moto.

The Hollies Farm Shops both stock a wide range of Devonshire Bakery breads, pies and cakes and have done so for more than 20 years, we are always keen to work Rob and his team to look at new products to meet the needs of our discerning customers.  Devonshire Bakery products are great quality and we are proud to work alongside another long-standing family business.
