A new authentic artisan bakery is set to launch in the village of Bradwall, just a short distance from Sandbach, creating jobs and breathing new life into the Village Hall.
Bradwall Bakehouse will produce incredible artisan bread for the local community and plans to use locally-sourced ingredients that support the rural community it serves.
The new bakery, located at Bradwall Village Hall, is currently undergoing refurbishment with the aim to open for business in late spring 2022. It’s hoped that bakehouses will create jobs in the area as well as become a hive for artisan bakers in the region seeking to display their talent by supplying restaurants, pubs, and shops.

Bradwall Village Hall was originally built by Lady Diana Barlow in 1972 to provide a focal point for the village and to support the thriving farming community. As of 2016, the world-famous Foden’s Brass Band took up temporary residence, but the building was facing closure due to fewer visitors and volunteers. Covid-19 then intensified the need for change.
The late Lady Barlow’s grandson, Woody Barlow, purchased the village hall in order to revitalize and launch the new Bradwall Bakehouse. As a result, he is now overseeing the development of facilities for Foden’s Brass Band and the enhancements to the hall.
Woody Barlow, Director of Bradwall Bakehouse, said:
“The revamped kitchen provides a perfect space to develop an artisan bakery for the baking of innovative bread for the local market. Having worked in hospitality for 25 years I know there is strong demand for high quality, locally sourced bread and encourage anyone with a passion for baking and bread to get in contact with the team.”
“We are looking to re-write the rules on bread making, to only use the very best of local British ingredients and create incredible bread that meet the needs of the community. This will be a great addition to the town and is the perfect outlet for anyone who is passionate about quality bread.”
Barlow said plans for the bakehouse include a focus on sustainability and responsibility; “We want bread lovers to enjoy one of the oldest and most treasured foods in the world whilst being very sensitive to the environment.”
The bakery is actively recruiting experienced and passionate bakers to bring the vision to life. Bradwall Bakehouse is scheduled to open in late spring and click and collect options are expected to be made available for locals shopping for personal use.
A range of quality artisan bread will also be available from the bakehouse to restaurants, pubs, delicatessens, shops, small supermarkets, and farm shops. Bakers and parties who are interested should email thebaker@bradwallbakehouse.co.uk or visit the website www.bradwallbakehouse.co.uk
