We strive to bring baking back to basics – producing fresh, wholesome, good quality local bread. We use century-old baking techniques to craft a variety of delicious styles and flavours everyday. You won’t find any additives, preservatives or modern shortcuts in our bread making. Instead we simply use organic flour, fresh yeast, water and salt to make a basic dough.
We take our time to allow the dough to rise and prove naturally to enrich the bread with the fullest of flavours. This traditional baking approach delivers balanced, healthy, enjoyable bread made the way it's been for centuries.

The Bakery Shop & Café
We’re busy finishing off our new café which is opening at our Bakery near Redruth at Easter. We’ll be open for breakfast, morning coffee and lunch, Monday – Saturday, and look forward to welcoming everyone into The Bakery. Come early for a fresh croissant before work and you’ll see our busy bakers in action! We’re working with St Austell based Slurp Design on a concept which will use recycled and reclaimed materials in a design that’s both rustic but contemporary. Watch this space for our special events happening at The Bakery throughout the year.

Our Next Baking Courses
If you fancy spending a relaxing weekend learning how to knead your way to the perfect loaf, BakerTom is hosting bread making courses at Bedruthan Steps Hotel on 4th March and 24th-25th March. Visit our baking course page to find out more.
Tom Hazzledine started baking bread at the age of 23 in 2006 for a local farm shop. Customers started to ask for more of his loaves, and Tom started delivering his bread on a bike – baking by night and making deliveries by day.
Since then, we’ve grown as Baker Tom, but our ethos remains the same: to bake quality, fresh, artisan bread, the kind of bread that’s a simple pleasure at eat, but is rarely found in supermarkets today. We’re proud to create many different styles and flavours for our customers throughout Cornwall and Devon to enjoy.
You can buy our range of bread, cakes and pastries at Baker Tom shops in Falmouth and Truro. The Falmouth shop is also home to a café with large farmhouse tables that offer a retreat from a busy day. The café serves light lunches including a new range of Baker Tom door-stop sandwiches and delicious soups by Soup du Jour.
All our bread is freshly baked at The Bakery in the heart of Cornwall. It’s delivered the very same day. Things have moved on since the early days when we just had a small oven large enough for a few loaves. Today we still bake in small quantities, but we’re fortunate enough to do so in purpose-built specialist bread ovens. They are our workhorses and they bake to perfection.
Baker Tom has been delivering home-baked quality, competitively priced fresh bread to restaurants, shops and hotels across the South West for five years, in addition to food delivery businesses such as Riverford Organic and Cornwall Food Market. We have the experience and expertise to offer a consistently good quality product and a proven, high standard of service to our trade customers.
Our Falmouth shop is easy to find. We’re at the top of High Street in the town centre. Stop by the window and you’ll see our range of tempting breads and pastries to take home. Inside, the shop opens into our homely café with a communal farmhouse table and space to take a break. We serve teas, coffees and soft drinks as well as sweet pastries and savoury snacks including hot soups and the new range of Baker Tom hand-cut sandwiches.

Our shop in Lemon Street Market is a nod to the traditional bakeries that once lined high streets across the country. We display our complete range of bread and pastries on simple wooden racks, ready for you to choose, take home and enjoy.

“There’s something really satisfying about being up to your elbows in flour,” says speciality baker Tom Hazzledine. “It’s really rewarding … kneading away, putting all that energy into creating something nourishing.
But the best bit, of course, is biting into freshly baked bread daubed in homemade strawberry jam.”
Spend a relaxing weekend learning how to knead your way to the perfect loaf. BakerTom show you how on a series of one and two-day Bread Making Breaks at the Bedruthan Steps Hotel, Mawgan Porth. He will teach you to master the art of making bagels, olive and tomato bread, soda bread, focaccia, sourdough, rye bread and more.
And he will send you home with some sourdough, ready to start baking as soon as you’re back in your own kitchen.
