Behind the Bake: How We Turn Pastry into Partnership

 

In today’s food scene, people expect more than a quick bite. They want food that feels special, made with care, full of flavour, and consistently excellent. For cafés, pubs, farm shops, and caterers, that means finding a wholesale supplier you can rely on has never been more important.

At The Original Baker, we believe you should know exactly where your products come from and feel confident that every delivery will wow your customers.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we work, and why so many businesses across the UK choose us as their trusted supplier of gourmet sausage rolls and pies.


The Story Behind The Original Baker

Where It All Began

The Original Baker started with a simple idea: to bring real, handcrafted baking to businesses that didn’t want “just another” mass-produced product. From day one, we’ve focused on traditional recipes, quality ingredients, and flavour combinations that make every bite stand out.

What began as a small, passionate team has grown into a nationwide wholesale partner for cafés, pubs, farm shops, and caterers. But one thing hasn’t changed: our commitment to quality.

“We never compromise on flavour or care. Every pie, every roll, every batch is made with the same attention you’d expect in your own kitchen.”


Our Mission

We’re here to help independent businesses grow by supplying wholesale bakery products that are:

  • Flavour first – recipes that excite and comfort in equal measure.
  • Craftsmanship – every bake made with care, not shortcuts.
  • Honest cooking – no gimmicks, just good food done right.
  • Tradition & innovation – honouring the past while inspiring the future.
  • Heart in every bake – creating moments that feel special and authentic.

Our mission is simple: to bake with heart, create meaningful moments, and remind people that the best food is always the most authentic.


Crafting Gourmet Sausage Rolls & Pies

Why Ingredients Matter

Great baking starts with great ingredients. We source quality British meat, use local produce wherever possible, and bring in fresh herbs and spices to create food that tastes homemade.

Our gourmet sausage rolls aren’t your standard grab-and-go. From classic pork to inventive flavour twists, every roll is made to deliver quality and consistency your customers will notice. We also cater for all diets, with vegan and vegetarian options that ensure everyone feels included.

What Makes Our Pastry Special

Our pastry is at the heart of everything we do. Made with all-butter, carefully folded to create up to 2,000 layers, and given time to rest properly before baking — it’s this dedication that gives our sausage rolls and pies their signature light, flaky texture and rich flavour.

Handcrafted, Not Mass-Produced

Many suppliers chase volume over taste. We do things differently, with skilled bakers crafting our recipes in small batches - never just churned out on a conveyor belt.

That means:

  • More attention to detail.
  • Better texture and flavour.
  • Products that look, taste, and feel premium.

When you serve a pie or sausage roll from The Original Baker, you’re serving something your customers will remember - and return for.
