About Baker on the Bay
Where Craft Meets Coastal Simplicity
At Baker on the Bay, we believe bread should be more than food — it should tell a story. A story of time and tide, of honest ingredients, and of the simple joy that comes from sharing something made by hand.
Nestled by the water, our small-batch micro bakery is inspired by the rhythm of the coast — calm, steady, and deeply connected to nature. Each loaf is slow-fermented, hand-shaped, and baked with care to bring out the full character of the grain. No additives, no rush — just real bread, baked the old-fashioned way.
Our Story – Meet the Baker
What began as a quiet love for baking became a devotion to the craft of sourdough and traditional breadmaking. At Baker on the Bay, every loaf is shaped by hand, using time-honoured methods and natural fermentation to create bread that’s wholesome, flavourful, and alive.
Our baker’s philosophy is simple:
• Simplicity – Flour, water, salt, yeast and time — handled with patience and care.
• Integrity – No improvers, preservatives, or shortcuts — ever.
• Connection – Each bake links mill, baker and community.
• Place – The bay inspires everything we do — calm, craft, and connection to the land and sea.
Every bake carries a little bit of the bay — shaped by sea air, local life, and a passion for honest food.
About Our Bread
At the heart of every loaf is carefully selected UK-grown wheat. We care about food miles, so our white and wholemeal bread flours are milled from wheat grown here in the UK. For added character and flavour, we also use organic heritage grain flours from Shipton Mill, prized for their exceptional quality, traditional varieties and natural taste.
Our Mill & Orchard series
UK White flour – The soft, pure foundation that gives our loaves their delicate texture.
Artisan Boule with Organic Light Malthouse – Subtle malted sweetness and a golden, wholesome crust.
Artisan Boule with Organic 3 Malts – Deeply aromatic and rich, adding body and complexity to the crumb.
Artisan Boule with Organic Fig & Spelt & Pumpkin – A rustic touch of sweetness with chewy figs, nutty spelt, and crunchy pumpkin seeds.
Our Heritage Grain collection
Artisan Boule with Organic Einkorn – An ancient, golden-hued grain that provides a light, nutty sweetness and a delicate, silky crumb.
Artisan Boule with Organic Emmer – A robust, prehistoric grain offering a deep, earthy complexity and a satisfyingly chewy texture.
Artisan Boule with Organic Khorasan – Rich and buttery with a distinct golden colour, delivering a mellow, savoury finish to every slice.
Artisan Boule with Organic Spelt – A classic heritage favourite with a mild, toasted-nut profile and a light, airy internal structure.
Artisan Boule with Organic Rye – Deeply flavourful and dark, providing a dense, tangy character and a rustic, substantial crust.
Together, these organic flours create loaves that are beautifully balanced — light yet hearty, soft yet full of depth. Each bake celebrates the harmony between traditional craft and modern flavour.

Because good bread isn’t just baked — it’s crafted, shared, and remembered.
About The Flat Cap Baker
Good bread. A good life. One small bakery by the sea.
The Flat Cap Baker at Baker on the Bay is a small, independent microbakery in Bull Bay, Anglesey, where I bake artisan bread in my home kitchen.
But the bakery is about more than bread.
It’s about finding a way to make good food, enjoy where I live and still have time for the things that make life worth living.
Baking around life — not the other way round
I’m not interested in turning my home into a production line or spending every waking hour in the kitchen.
Instead, I’ve built the bakery around a simple idea:
the baking should fit around life, rather than life being dictated by the baking.
That means carefully planning fermentation, dough preparation and baking so that there is still time to leave the kitchen.
On a typical quiet baking day, I might start at 6am and finish around 10:30pm, producing around 20–30 loaves in a domestic double oven.
But that doesn’t mean being in the kitchen continuously.
The dough has its schedule.
I have mine.
There might be a couple of hours in the morning for a coastal walk with the dog, and several more hours in the afternoon for a sea swim and a leisurely dinner.
The ovens can be preloaded with Dutch ovens and programmed to switch on automatically, allowing the kitchen to get on with its job while I get on with mine — or, more importantly, with enjoying life.
Bread made slowly and thoughtfully
The bread itself is deliberately simple.
Good flour.
Long fermentation.
Careful handling.
Time.
I make a range of naturally fermented and artisan breads, alongside some breads where sourdough can overshadow the subtle flavours of heritage grains, here I use a small amount of yeast to give me greater control over a long fermentation.
I’m particularly interested in heritage grains and wholegrain baking, experimenting with grains such as spelt, emmer, einkorn, khorasan and rye to create breads with character, flavour and texture.
Every loaf is made in small batches and baked by hand.
There is no conveyor belt, no industrial production line and no attempt to make hundreds of identical loaves.
Just a small bakery, a domestic oven and a lot of planning.
Made in Bull Bay
The bakery is here in Bull Bay, on the north coast of Anglesey.
The sea, the landscape and the rhythm of life here are an important part of what The Flat Cap Baker is about.
A loaf doesn’t need to be made in a huge commercial bakery to be good.
Sometimes it can be made in a kitchen overlooking the coast, while the baker takes the dog for a walk and waits for the dough to do its thing.
That’s the bakery I wanted to create.
The Flat Cap Baker.
Good bread, made in small batches, by the sea.
And, hopefully, a little more time to enjoy it.
