The Bakehouse and the Baker

She founded Paindemain Bakehouse in a converted horse lorry on an organic farm, before bringing it home to the village of Old Marston. The bakery is a registered food business and holds a 5 star rating for food safety and hygiene. Read more about Paindemain in the Oxford Sausage blog.
