I discovered the Hambleton Bakery, tucked at the end of a path in a forest and it is the ultimate destination bakery in Rutland. It is the sister company to Hambleton Hall and is both a wholesale bakery and has a lovely retail outlet where you can buy homemade bread, English muffins cooked on a griddle, walnut loaves and fresh brioche. Master baker Julian Carter bakes the bread in a wood fired oven and uses traditional recipes. They also sell their own jam and fresh eggs.
