"Terrific informative baking class. Iain taught us how to make oatcakes and Selkirk bannocks and the ability to ask questions and get insight into the process was priceless.
A great experience."
Chris McMahon
"Local bakery with something to suit everyone. We go for an occasional treat, but you can see that it is used by many 'regulars' and passing trade too. Not the easiest to park near but worth it"
Paula Goodwin
"We did a baking class at Campbell's bakery and made morning rolls and oatcakes. It was a really lovely atmosphere and Iain and team made us feel very welcome. We came armed with lots of questions and it was a really informative session, with lots (and lots!) to take away. Delicious lunch too! Thanks all."
