I'm fed up with supermarket bread. Are there any independent bakers in Newbury?

Hethertons or the market Thursday and Saturday. If you want really good bread gett a bread maker. Reasonable price now, put it all in the machine before you go to bed, set the timer and wake up to really fresh bread.

That's not really 'baking' in it's true sense is it? The supermarkets call it 'cooked off'. There are two sorts of bread; nice and/ or horrible. |

Reasonable price now, put it all in the machine before you go to bed, set the timer and wake up to really fresh bread. I concur with both statements. Hetherton do the best bakers' bread I have ever tasted, and the stall in the market has a wonderful and imaginative range. Hetherton's lardy cake is to die for. We now have a bread-making machine and get excellent bread, using Wessex Mill flour. |

 I was just surprised no-one had mentioned it as another excellent local bakery.
