Part Time Delivery Driver/Packer

We are a small award-winning artisan bakery based in Morningside and Leith, Edinburgh. We have been open for over 14 years, and are considered one of the top bakeries in the city, supplying farmer’s markets and a number of amazing Edinburgh business. We produce a range of very high-quality award-winning breads, biscuits, cakes and pastries from scratch on our premises, using the minimum of ingredients and no pre-mixes, enhancers, improvers or additives.
