As the name suggests a former Grade II listed chapel.
Following its demise as a place of worship in the Sixties, the building had been owned by a sculptor. The basement had also been converted to use as a recording studio and was reputedly used by rock bands including Tangerine Dream and Genesis.-
Now a wonderful bakery, restaurant and hotel, a greet place to meet friends & have a relaxing weekend break. Well worth a visit if you are near Bruton.
Baker Tom Hitchmough bakes the long fermented traditional way, using stoneground organic flour, water and salt. He uses a small amount of yeast in some breads and in others lots of seeds and fruit. Long fermentation creates a delicious flavour, increased nutritional content and a beautiful crust. Just like bread should be.
Tom and his team work through the night when we’re all sleeping, baking in our wood-fired oven, so that our bread and pastries are ready and on the shelves at 7am every morning, seven days a week.
