Paindemain Bakes

Catherine makes a range of sourdough and yeasted breads, as well as buns, tarts and cookies using organic flour from Shipton Mill, Mayfield free-range eggs and other ingredients thoughtfully sourced with sustainability in mind.

The Bakehouse and the Baker

Baking is a second career for Catherine who gained a Diploma at The School of Artisan Food. 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.

Real Bread

Catherine's bread is made with all-natural ingredients and without the use of processing aids, chemical leavening or other additives.
