About The Breadwinner

An introduction to The Breadwinner wholesale bakery

At The Breadwinner we’re passionate about baking. Since 1973 our master craftsmen bakers have been baking in Edinburgh – kneading and shaping dough by hand. We prefer to use traditional, simple methods and allow time to naturally enhance our products, rather than adding anything that would change the quality or flavour of our breads. We’re proud of our heritage – and work hard to supply breads, cakes and pastries that are locally made, freshly baked and full of flavour.

Craftsmanship

We have a team of master bakers who have been trained in the craft of baking. These bakers show a love of the art of baking and use their skill to create existing and new products. We produce visually attractive items that are healthy and wholesome. We are not reliant on machinery so, using the experience and adaptability of our bakers, we can change products to influence market trends and/or respond to client needs.

Substantial experience meeting the needs of clients

We have experience working with and supplying some of the leading food caterers in the UK for nearly 40 years: please see our list of current clients.
