What they do:
Located close to Southampton Docks, Hoxton Bakehouse is a modern bakery set up by London chefs Florence and Darren in 2013.
Its team of six staff produces naturally leavened wholegrain breads and pastries for retail and wholesale. Each loaf is hand-crafted and takes 24-36 hours from dough to oven. All their wholewheat flour comes from Winchester City Mill, located only 12km away from their unit.
They’re heavily involved in the local community and every day they deliver freshly baked bread to a local homeless charity, Hospice of St James.
