Do you deliver to Hempstead and Wigmore?

Yes. They are further out than the rest of the round but still inside Medway, so they are covered. Type your postcode into the basket and it will confirm before you pay.

Do you deliver on Gillingham home match days?

Yes, but we plan the route around it. If you are close to Priestfield and there is a home game, expect us earlier in the window rather than later.

What if my postcode is ME7 but I am nearer Rainham?

It makes no difference to what you pay. The whole of Medway is one delivery area with one rule: free over twenty pounds, delivered Saturday morning.

Bakery in Gillingham

Gillingham is the largest of the Medway towns by population and, oddly, one of the worst served for proper bread. Plenty of supermarkets, not many bakers. We are here on a Saturday morning for anyone in Gillingham who would rather have a real loaf than a warmed-through one.

Collection and delivery in Gillingham

Collection

Collection is Saturday morning between 8am and midday. Gillingham is well connected by bus and the station is on the main line, so picking up without a car is realistic.

Running late? We hold your order until 12:30.

Local delivery

Every Gillingham postcode is inside the area, including up to Hempstead and Wigmore. Free over twenty pounds, delivered on the Saturday morning.

Free over £20.00. Your postcode is checked against the real Medway boundary before you pay, so you will never be promised a delivery we cannot make.

What we know about Gillingham

Priestfield Stadium has been Gillingham FC's ground since 1893 and it sits right in among terraced streets rather than out on a ring road. Home match Saturdays change the traffic completely, and we plan delivery rounds around the fixture list rather than pretending it does not happen.
The Royal Engineers Museum at Brompton holds the corps' collection and Brompton itself is a preserved Georgian garrison village, which is a very different housing stock from the Victorian terraces further down the hill.
Will Adams was born in Gillingham in 1564 and became the first Englishman to reach Japan. There is a memorial to him in the town, and it is the kind of local fact that turns up on a pub quiz more often than in a bakery listing.
Gillingham's housing is mostly long Victorian and Edwardian terraces with small kitchens. It is a practical detail rather than a charming one: a full-size sourdough loaf does not fit in every bread bin, which is why we sell rolls by the box as well.
The town runs a long way from the river up to Hempstead and Wigmore, so a Gillingham delivery round covers more ground than a Rochester one. It is the main reason we hold a minimum order rather than driving out for a single pretzel.

What we bake

Eleven things, done properly, rather than forty done adequately. Slow fermented sourdough loaves, croissant sourdough, focaccia, brioche and pastries, all made by hand by Hillary Kongwa and made for the Saturday you choose. Feeding a crowd in Gillingham? Our catering and events side builds a menu around the day rather than selling you a set package.
