Bakergirl. “If you know, you know” they say, and I think this perfectly sums up what has become quite the Oxfordshire institution.  Starting life as a farmshop café at Wykham Park Farm, and baking flavoursome sourdough loaves, cheese and marmite scrolls, and all manner of cakes, pastries and buns, they appeared in the old thatched post office in the quintessential Cotswold village of Great Tew following a brief hiatus.  At both venues, no matter the time or day, queues of locals as well as those who’d travelled from a afar for the legendary cinnamon buns, snaked out of the door and around the farm/ village green.

Deciding to switch things up so as being able to maintain their baking dream whilst minimising the unsociable baker’s hours, they moved fully to their bakehouse in Wroxton to focus on pop-ups.  Sourdough pizza Saturdays, with home made salted caramel gelato and ‘sides’ of loaves of sourdough, milk loaves or whatever else takes their baking fancy, and Sunday Bun-days featuring their famous cinnamon buns, all available to click and collect.

The cinnamon buns are more than worthy of their status – pillowy soft, as big as your heard, and smothered in the most moorish cream cheese icing, they manage to satisfy every craving without leaving you needing a lie down!

Find Bakergirl in the Apollo Business Park on Ironstone Lane.  All orders need to be placed in advance via their social media sites.
