Hello. WE ARE AN AWARD-WINNING BAKERY ON A MISSION TO SHARE THE JOYS OF REAL BREAD.

We have gradually developed our large range of award-winning breads, exceptional sourdoughs and classic pastries over the past 30+ years. Proudly standing on only the very finest hand-made products with no UPF’s, and a strong knowledge of where our ingredients come from. We support slow food, gut health, informed food choices, low food miles, environmental considerations, and thoroughly support our local community by employing locals with a passion for real bread.

Every loaf that comes out of our oven is made slowly by hand, using just four ingredients - ﬂour, water, yeast (mostly wild) and salt. Flavour is developed naturally over three days. This long fermentation breaks down gluten, but more importantly releases the nutrients in the grain, becoming the well-known, hearty and nutritious Peter Cooks Bread that is easy to digest. Our products last no more than three to four days because we proudly use no added chemicals, UPF’s or nonsense. Always store your bread airtight to keep it soft.

We also offer a brand new sourdough which has no added wheat fortifications. Ask in store today.
