Our Bakehouse Please See the Blackboards for Today’S Specials

Welcome to our Bakehouse Please see the blackboards for today’s specials

Thank you for visiting us today and supporting small independent business. Here at Helen’s we use local suppliers for good quality produce wherever possible. So our eggs are free range from Betty’s Farm at Willington, meats for breakfasts and lunches are from Tony’s Butchers around the corner and fruit & vegetables are from the Market stall outside. Our lovely bread is delivered daily from family bakery The Buckley Bakehouse in Swadlincote and milk and cream come from Wilmot Dairies in Lichfield.

We only buy quality mature cheddar for our cheese on toast, sandwiches and cheese scones and only Heinz beans will do for our breakfasts.

We make all of our cakes, quiches, puddings and specials ourselves on site to give you that home made quality and flavour. Zoe, Gabrielle and Cheryl have all trained in baking and can now make, ice and decorate celebration cakes, which are in high demand weekly. We also cater for small to medium events with buffets and Afternoon Teas which all comprise of home made produce.

If you would like any advice or pricing for any of the above then please just ask one of the team. 2

….Sugar Free Cakes….

These cakes and scones are baked by us, using our own recipes. We firstly sourced information and ideas from The Diabetic Association, and then formed our own recipes, which have been tried and tested by our customers over the years. We now sell our five most popular sugar free cakes, which are all suitable for home freezing.

We use wholemeal flour, low fat spread and skimmed milk. No artificial sweeteners are used. The dried fruits provide the sweetness. Our Rich Fruit Cake, Date & Walnut and Date & Ginger are from boiled cake recipes. This method releases the natural fruit sugars and produces a lovely moist cake.

For the Sugar free Scones, we use cherries, which we rinse first to remove any preserving syrup, along with sultanas, raisins and currants.

Check the cake shelves for today’s selection or place an order with one of the team.

Darlington’s Jams and Chutneys You asked us to stock Darlington’s preserves so we do! From their Legendary Lemon Curd to Pickled Onions in Balsamic Vinegar (which are totally delicious). Have a look on the shelves.
