The Dulwich Bakery Competitors

Ottolenghi began in a small shop in Notting Hill, London in 2002. Chefs Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi were at the helm, creating a unique deli, restaurant, and bakery setting, which soon became a clear reflection of our obsessive relationship with food. With a commitment to the championing of vegetables, well-sourced produce, and unusual ingredients, Ottolenghi has become known internationally for food which is full of colour, flavour, bounty, and sunshine. Now a proud family of delis and restaurants, we have four Ottolenghi delis in Notting Hill, Islington, Chelsea, and Marylebone, as well as three restaurants - Ottolenghi Spitalfields, NOPI & ROVI. In all our locations you’ll find vibrant food, low intervention wines, and warm hospitality. Since 2002, the Ottolenghi family has slowly expanded and our scope has grown, but so much, crucially, has remained the same. The people behind our food are a dedicated and enthusiastic team who make Ottolenghi what it is today as we continue to nurture meaningful relationships with our local communities, welcome international guests with excitement, and enjoy sharing beautiful food. Simply put, we are serious about making people happy through our food.

Our mission at Flour is simple: we are incredibly passionate about sharing the pure pleasure that mouth-watering pastries and foods and warm hospitality can bring into your life. We love what we do and even more we love sharing it with you.

Bread Ahead was founded by Matthew Jones in 2013, who has been in the business and making bread for over 25 years. His mission is to bring quality baking to the masses. Bread Ahead opened its doors in September 2013 supplying fresh produce daily to Borough Market customers and a range of local restaurants and delis. The Bakery School opened in February 2014 and is designed to show the public just how easy baking good bread can be. Since then, Bread Ahead has grown – the school at Borough has expanded and Matthew has since opened a second bakery and school in Pavilion Road, Chelsea and a brand new bakery and café in Beak Street, Soho. The Bread Ahead Baking School is home to ever popular baking workshops including Doughnuts, Great British Baking, Nordic and Gluten-free to name a few. Led by Bread Ahead’s masterful bakery school tutors, they offer an insight into proper artisan baking. Gift vouchers are available to buy for the half and full day workshops all year round. In August 2017, Bread Ahead published its first ever cookbook, Baking School: The Bread Ahead Cookbook.
