Delicious bread delivered fresh from our Wholesale Bakery
The story of a local artisan baker
Over the years Alex Gooch Artisan Baker has won multiple awards and grown from a '1 man bakery' into a complete team of dedicated bakers and delivery drivers employing around 20 staff.
Our bread and pastries are of the highest quality being skilfully crafted in traditional ways using the highest quality ingredients.
Our team bake 6 days a week using a long fermentation process encouraging pre-digestion of the grains to deliver nutritious and delicious, fresh bread and pastries.
Once complete we deliver daily to markets, delis, hotels, restaurants and Waitrose stores across Wales and England as well as to our own cafés in Monmouth and Whitchurch Road, Cardiff.

We make a wide range of products including 100% rye sourdoughs, mixed grain sourdoughs, heritage grain sourdoughs, ciabatta, challah burger buns, pastries and douoghnuts as well as bespoke loaves for anyone who asks - we love a challenge!

What goes into our multi-award-winning bread?
ONLY THE BEST, SUSTAINABLE, INGREDIENTS
All of the ingredients used are carefully selected by the team at the bakery working closely with suppliers to maintain sustainable farming. We are fundamentally against the routine spraying of crops so it has taken time and dedication to source these special ingredients.
​
Provenance is extremely important. Only the best ingredients are used in our bread and pastry recipes. This is why we work so closely with a core list of dedicated suppliers that help deliver our multi-award-winning hand-baked bread.
