The Grateful Bread Bakery is a small, family run artisan bakery in the heart of Hexham, Northumberland, specialising in organic sourdough bread. We also sell some of the good stuff that goes with bread, like Ampersand Dairy cultured butter, locally made honey and jams, and bags of freshly roasted coffee by Ouseburn Coffee Co.

important notice:
Christmas pre-orders 2024
​​​
Thanks to everyone who has expressed an interest in preordering for Christmas Eve. As usual, about a third of products will be available for preorder and everything else will be for general sale to walk up customers.
As per previous years, preorders for Christmas Eve will ONLY be done via the website. This will go live on the website at 9.30am next Monday 16 December. It will stay open as long as there are products still to purchase.
​
We will open at 9am on Christmas Eve to allow staff extra time to prepare. All preorders must be collected by midday as usual to allow the team to get away to their own Christmas celebrations. There will be a queue, but a staff member will be dedicated entirely to orders and will endeavour to find you in the queue to skip the wait, as far as possible.
You can order for our second to last business day (Saturday 21st) via our usual book system, but this will close when we reach capacity to ensure there is still bread to buy in the shop on the day.
We are all working hard to produce as much as possible to fulfil Christmas demand. Please remember that we are a very small business working out of a small premises with a dedicated small team of staff. The bread is an artisan product made with care and attention. Please do not put staff in an unfair position by asking them to bend the rules for you.
Thank you all for your support this year!
Thanks for your support & Merry Christmas!
Team GB
