Anglian Country Inns opens artisan bakery

Anglian Country Inns has opened an artisan bakery within its pub White Horse Holme, at Holme-next-the-Sea. 

The group, led by James Nye, says the pedigree of quality, local, seasonal and sustainable food with sound provenance is long-standing, and "there are high hopes that this food ethos will make for a phenomenal artisan bakery".  

White Horse Bakery will focus on handmade, small batch organic sourdough products, a range of viennoiserie and ‘proper coffee’.  

The creation of the bakery came about over a coffee in the pub, which overlooks an old stone barn across the courtyard.

"Our baking philosophy hinges on the provenance of our ingredients, their locality and sustainability, but also a commitment to process, ‘doing it the right way’, the healthy way, the way it used to be done," says head baker Toby Doy. "That was always the driver for this project. We also are excited to create another community focal point, alongside our award-winning pub – two community hubs nestling side by side, a haven for lovers of the good life and the best baked products on the north Norfolk coast."

White Horse Bakery will be baking every day from 8am to 4pm.

Anglian Country Inns is a family-run hospitality group based in East Anglia, now comprising 10 establishments including pubs, hotels, bars, a coffee shop, microbrewery and a bakery.
