About Aston’s Bakehouse
Baking has been our craft and passion for decades. Our small but dedicated team of bakers and market staff work day and night to produce breads and pastries that are both wholesome and delicious. We use traditional methods, allowing doughs to ferment slowly to develop rich flavour and texture. Every loaf is shaped by hand, baked to perfection, and delivered fresh.
Aston’s Bread is one of the few bakeries that takes a truly holistic approach to bread-making — from harvesting organic grains to milling our own flour and baking the loaves. This commitment to quality and craftsmanship is what sets us apart.
Our customers range from families picking up their weekly bread at the market to restaurants and retailers who rely on us for consistent, top-quality supply.

What Our Customers Say
We’re proud of the positive feedback we receive from both retail and wholesale customers.
Dvorah Kadish
“Basically, my weekly visits to the Hampstead Farmer’s market are to buy chunks of the meter-long mixed sourdough bread (I never remember its proper name). This is a bread with true heart & character. As such, you’ll find it it doesn’t meld with some delicious sauces but its crumb will elevate a simple tomato salad with good oil and the merest twinkle of salt into a feast fit for the royalty that we all are ☺️”
AJP K
“Aston's makes wonderful organic bread. So many wonderful varieties of bread, grinding their own grains, and simple ingredients - the way it should be. As a chef deeply connected to quality and nutritional implications this is the bread that you want to be eating!”
