White Horse Bakery, Holme-next-the-Sea Named Among Britain’s 50 Best Bakeries 2026
White Horse Bakery Holme-next-the-Sea, Norfolk, has been named one of Britain’s 50 Best Bakeries 2026 by The Good Food Guide in partnership with Square, less than a year after opening its doors.
Leigh Gentry, Head Baker expressed his excitement at the recognition -
‘My team and I are absolutely over the moon to receive this amazing recognition. The life of a baker starts at the crack of dawn when my small team and I work hard preparing small batch handcrafted artisan breads, viennoiserie and seasonal bakes ready for our 8am Bakery opening each day.
‘We’re proud to create a fun and welcoming place to work and visit. There’s always a warm Norfolk welcome in the adjoining Bakery barn where customers can enjoy breakfast, proper coffee or a lunch time snack while choosing delicious bakes to take home. Karl, George and I truly love what we do, and we’re incredibly proud when that passion is reflected in the smiles of our customers.
‘Making bread the traditional way is our speciality. It’s a slow process, but it produces amazing results. Using the best local ingredients, including heritage wheats, helps bring out the taste, flavour and texture in everything we bake. Great bread takes time, but it’s worth it.’
Editors at The Good Food Guide said -
‘We are thrilled that White Horse Bakery has been selected by our expert team as one of the Good Food Guide’s 50 Best Bakeries of 2026, in partnership with Square.
