From a single oven in 1975 to a bakery three generations of the same family are proud to run today.
Uncle Jims Bakery began in 1975, when the first loaves came out of a single oven on a quiet Northwich street. Nearly five decades later, the ovens are busier and the shop has grown, but the belief we started with has never changed: that bread, cakes and pastries taste better when they are made the traditional way, with organic ingredients and real care.
Three generations of the same family have now stood behind our counter, and the recipes Uncle Jim first wrote down are still the ones we bake from today. Follow our story below, from that first oven in 1975 to the bakery Northwich and the wider Cheshire community know and love now.
Uncle Jim opens the bakery doors on a quiet Northwich street, baking bread and cakes by hand from organic flour and butter, using recipes passed down through his own family.
Word of our honest baking and fresh bread spreads through the town, and a loyal following of local families makes Uncle Jims Bakery a regular stop on the weekly shop.
Bespoke celebration cakes become one of our best loved services, as families across Cheshire start trusting us with their birthdays, weddings and biggest occasions.
We open our ovens to the community, welcoming school groups and running hands on baking workshops so a new generation can learn the craft and the joy of baking from scratch.
The next generation of the family steps behind the counter, carrying the same recipes and the same care forward while the bakery continues to grow with Northwich.
Nearly fifty years after that first loaf, we are still baking fresh every morning with organic ingredients and the traditional methods Uncle Jim started with.
