A Cumbrian bakery has been named among Britain’s best by the Good Food Guide.
The guide has published its list of 50 best bakeries in Britain and among them is Lovingly Artisan, ran by Aidan Monks and Catherine Connor.
Lovingly Artisan, in Kendal, has been called a local gem by the Good Food Guide.
The guide’s list was put together by its network of anonymous inspectors.
It said: “Beyond skilful pastry work and deliciously innovative creations, a uniting factor among the bakeries championed by The Good Food Guide is meticulous attention to sourcing the best British ingredients, right down to the flour.”
Editor of The Good Food Guide, Chloë Hamilton, said: “Some of the best talent on the food scene right now is in Britain’s bakeries.
“The bakers are the people most connected to their local food systems and celebrating the best of the British seasons, and the quality of craftsmanship outshines the pastry sections of some of the country’s top restaurants. The best part is, you can get a taste of it for (mostly) less than a fiver. You’ll just have to join the queue.”
Lovingly Artisan also has a presence at Altrincham Market, but Aidan said the success of the bakery was down to its Lake District roots.
