Gilda , Bishopsbourne @ gilda _ bakery
Gilda Bakery is nestled in the heart of one of Kent ’ s prettiest villages amidst rolling green countryside and Jane Austen-style stately homes . The bakery was established by master in his trade , Jon Warren , who brings his rich culinary experience from one of the world ’ s food capitals , San Sebastian , to the Kent countryside . A delicious range of plain and flavoured loaves and decadent flaky pastries can be enjoyed alongside a coffee from next door Tadpoles Tearoom - but be aware - these pastries are so good that you will not be able to stop thinking about them for the rest of 2023 .
Vegan Antics , Gravesend @ veganantics
Kent ’ s first and finest vegan bakery , established in 2015 in a small kitchen in Kent when vegan treats were still hard to come by . “ It did not take long for the word to get around about our delicacies as we ship all over the UK ; it was a dream coming true ! Our loyal customers stuck by us and watched us grow so quickly that we finally had the means to open our first actual bakery in April of 2017 ,” says founder , Grace . Offering high quality products , available to order across the UK or for collection , Vegan Antics have a forever-expanding product range including a variety of cakes , cupcakes , rocky roads , flapjacks , biscuits , cookies , pastries , desserts and other exciting sweet treats . “ Just because our products are vegan does not mean that we have compromised on taste ,” says Grace , who caters for those suffering from intolerances and allergies too and focuses heavily on being ethical and eco-friendly .
