Company About
Us:
Founded by former
Michelin-starred chef Paul Rhodes in 2003, Paul Rhodes Bakery has built a
strong reputation as the go-to supplier of quality handcrafted sourdoughs,
cakes and pastries in the capital. Paul’s ambition when he started the bakery
was simple: to provide London’s busy chefs with the best handcrafted bread,
made from the finest ingredients possible and traditional techniques.
Today, as the bakery heads
towards twenty-five years in business, the goal remains the same and this
ambition underpins everything we do. We have both a wholesale business
supplying some of London’s top restaurants, hotels, cafés, and entertainment
venues, as well as our local retail bakery shop which is based a ten minute
walk up the road, in Greenwich Market.
As we continue to grow, we are looking for
talented individuals to join our team and contribute to our success. At Paul
Rhodes Bakery, we believe in nurturing talent. By joining our company, you’ll
have the chance to work with experienced professionals, learn valuable skills,
and be part of a friendly, supportive environment
