A bakery that
rose slowly.

Like the dough, the business wasn't rushed. Here's how it got from a market table to a shop on Friday Street.

Before 2019

Eight years in a kitchen

Cooking in a local wholefood café.

March 2019

A new challenge

Leaving that job to build a business with a partner, side by side.

One Friday

Soup and a few loaves

A hot pan of soup and some sourdough, taken to Minehead Farmers Market.

Today

A shop, and still the market

8 Friday Street, Thursday to Saturday, and The Parade every Friday morning.

Started with one market table

In March 2019, after eight years cooking in a local wholefood café, the baker set out to build a business alongside a partner.

The first step was simple: one Friday, a hot pan of soup and a few sourdough loaves at Minehead Farmers Market. The shop on Friday Street came later.

in the baker's words

“A hot pan of soup and a few sourdough loaves.”

In March 2019 the baker left a much-loved job as a cook in a local wholefood café, after eight years, to start something new with a partner.

The first market day was soup and a handful of loaves. Three years later, the bakers called themselves happy, with “truly amazing customers”.

Kindness is mostly patience.

The Kind Kitchen started in 2019 at Minehead's Friday farmers market, with soup and a few sourdough loaves. The baker had spent eight years cooking in a local wholefood café before that.

The approach hasn't changed: naturally leavened bread, vegetarian savouries, pastries and cake, made by hand with local and organic ingredients where possible.

Field notes

Local where possible. Handmade always.

After eight years as a cook in a local wholefood café, the baker started The Kind Kitchen in 2019 with a partner, beginning at the Friday market with soup and sourdough.

The ingredients come from close by and are organic where they can be. The shaping is done by hand.

Since 2019

Eight years cooking in a local wholefood café. Then, in March 2019, a new start with a partner: one Friday, a hot pan of soup and a few sourdough loaves at Minehead Farmers Market.

Today there's a shop on Friday Street, and the market stall is still there every Friday.
