Meet our Suppliers: Hobbs House Bakery
When you think of the perfect loaf of bread, what comes to mind?

Hobbs House Bakery, a celebrated supplier for Heritage Fine Foods, embodies all these qualities and more, crafting products that are deeply rooted in tradition and committed to sustainability. We are delighted that from the 13th August we will be offering Hobb’s fresh produce offerings to our retail and wholesale customers (in addition to frozen products we are already supplying to our wholesale customers).
A Storied Tradition
Hobbs House Bakery’s history is as rich as the bread it bakes. Founded in 1920 in the quaint town of Chipping Sodbury, Gloucestershire, the bakery began as a small family-run business with a focus on quality and craftsmanship. The Hobbs family, with their dedication to traditional baking methods and a keen sense of innovation, soon garnered a reputation for producing some of the finest bread in the region.
Throughout the decades, the bakery has maintained its commitment to artisanal practices while evolving to meet modern demands. Today, Hobbs House Bakery is celebrated not only for its commitment to tradition but also for its embrace of sustainability and innovation.
