First came the queues for the bakery in 2019 on arty Walcot Street, with heaving trays of sticky cinnamon buns and sourdough (made with grains from its mill at the Westcombe Dairy near Bruton) disappearing in a flash; then it was a table in the restaurant upstairs, which opened in 2021, that became the hottest ticket in town. And last year Landrace opened a café downstairs: the chicest spot for breakfast, with bistro chairs, café curtains and bar stools to perch on at the window armed with a bun filled with a bakers’ egg (a sort of fluffy omelette), Somerset bacon and rhubarb brown sauce – plus one of the smoothest flat whites in town, made with beans from nearby Roundhill Roastery.

It’s battle of the cinnamon buns with this one – any Bathonian will tell you to visit here if you enjoy a pastry or two. Landrace Bakery is Walcot’s sweet treat paradise, providing visitors from around the country with a haven to enjoy their famous baked goods. Offering Round Hill Roastery Coffees and Post Card teas alongside their freshly-made cakes and pastries, the bakery is known by everyone in Bath for its mouth-watering selection, drawing in customers near and far for the chance to sample their sweet treats – not to mention their speciality sourdough bread, lovingly made from stone-ground South West grains.

Some of what makes Landrace the best bakery in Bath also shines through in its new-ish restaurant – i.e. the honest matter of finding a few very good ingredients, and using simple alchemy to draw them together. The food could also at times be categorised as robust, or within the Anna Tobias steadfast and comforting school of ‘beige’, as in the buttermilk fried partridge; Gothelney pork with punterelle and polenta; summer truffle and tagliatelle; and Pump Street chocolate tart.
