Thames Ditton Bakery's shop front by local artist Lisa Tolley

We’re a small and busy village bakery in Thames Ditton, Surrey.

You’ll find us halfway down the high street, slightly set back from the road. If in doubt, follow the wafts of butter and cinnamon coming from our kitchen or the sound of ovens ringing as the latest batch of sourdough or pastries is ready to come out.

Pop in for a loaf of bread, a breakfast croissant or a sausage roll. Or pick up a lunchtime sandwich or something sweet to enjoy with your morning cuppa or afternoon tea.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Our story
I opened the doors of 16 High Street, Thames Ditton, in May 2021, and at 52, I began my life as a baker. I had the full support of my wife and two sons - that and a loan from my uncle were all I needed. I quit my ‘job’ and went all in – I called it "the release". It was my opportunity to apply everything I had learned, from my apprenticeship in The Carlton Hotel in Cannes, where I trained as a pastry chef, to my days as food development manager at RHS Wisley.
