Where is The Baker's Shed?

321 Manchester Road, Northwich, Cheshire, CW9 7NL. It's a self-service honesty box shed on the driveway, not a shopfront.

Do I need to book, or is there a queue?

No queue and no card machine for the everyday shelf. Just help yourself to what's out and pay on your way. Events, grazing boards and the cake subscription are booked separately through the website.

Cash in the honesty box, scan to pay with Square up on the roof shelf, or bank transfer using the details on the poster in the shed.

Do you cater for allergies?

Everything is baked in a home kitchen that handles all 14 major allergens, including nuts, gluten, dairy and eggs, so cross-contamination is possible in anything made there. Full ingredients are listed on every label.

What food hygiene rating does The Baker's Shed have?

A 5-star Food Hygiene Rating (FHRS ID 1926134), awarded 19 May 2026 by Cheshire West and Chester Council.

Can I book The Baker's Shed for an event?

Yes: birthday parties, baby showers, weddings, corporate orders, grazing boards, and a monthly cake subscription box can all be booked through the website.

Do you make bespoke, vegan or gluten-free celebration cakes?

Yes: bespoke celebration cakes for birthdays, weddings, corporate events and other occasions can be arranged, including vegan and gluten-free options. Get in touch through the events enquiry form to talk through what you need.

A Warm Welcome to the Shed

2026-09-28

Hello, and welcome to the blog.

If you've found your way here, you've probably already been to the shed, or at least seen it on social media. For anyone who hasn't, The Baker's Shed is a micro-bakery run from a shed on my driveway at 321 Manchester Road in Northwich. Everything is baked at home, and it all runs on an honesty box. You pick what you fancy and pay by cash, bank transfer or the QR code. No counter, no queue.

It's been about six months now, and I still can't quite believe how many of you stop by. The honesty box has never let me down, which says everything about the people round here.

Why a blog?

A shelf of cakes can only say so much. This is where the rest goes:

- What's in the shed: new bakes, old favourites coming back, and the ones that keep selling out - Behind the bakes: how things are made, what's worked and what hasn't - Shed news: stock, delivery and anything else worth knowing - New videos: a heads-up whenever something goes up on the YouTube channel

What you'll usually find

It changes with what I've baked, but the regulars include lemon drizzle, old school cakes, freddo brownies, Reese's cookies, Biscoff flapjack and the Triple Chocolate Brownie Tubs. And the concrete brownies, for anyone who likes a bit of a challenge.

Thank you

Every sale, review and share makes a difference to a small business like this one. So thank you for reading, and for keeping the shed going.

See you at the shed.
