our background

We have always been ‘foodies’ - both going out to eat and cooking for every family Christmas or event (we have cooked a 15 course meal for Christmas before - totally bonkers!).  We had toyed for months about setting up our own baking business, and in the summer of 2021 we unfortunately lost our Mum & Nan, Jean. We held Jean’s wake at the local community hall, and did all of the catering ourselves. As the day went on, more and more people asked us who did the catering - and they were (pleasantly!!) surprised when we said we had done it all ourselves.

Reflecting back, that was the pivotal moment which gave us the nudge we needed, and after more months of planning and a kitchen renovation at Nene's, The Village Cakery was born!

We began taking orders in November 2021, and have had a really successful run so far in our local community -  with tonnes of markets & events under our belts, we have now expanded into catering, offering delicious wedding catering, hot and cold food, afternoon teas, dessert tables etc.
