Small Batch - big flavour

We bake proper bread, make great coffee and keep things simple—no shortcuts, no gimmicks.

 

Just good food, good people, and a Jack Russell named Mabel keeping us in line

More than bread

We’re here for the bread lovers, the coffee drinkers, the chat-at-the-counter crowd.

Everything’s baked fresh, made with care, and shared with our community—because that’s what Mabel’s all about.

 

We celebrate seasonal food, local producers and the simple pleasure of a proper bake.

 

No shortcuts. No gimmicks.

our team

Dan trained as a pastry chef with Ottolenghi, became Head Baker at Pophams in London, then moved to Copenhagen to bake at Lille Bakery.

Lucy cut her teeth in hospitality with Nando’s and BrewDog, later moving into operations at a PR & Marketing agency — together they make a dream team!

They moved back to Lucy’s hometown in Norfolk and found the perfect spot on the high street. Mabel the Bakery opened in March 2024, and the rest is history.
