Redbournbury Mill Bakery

This is a great place to visit even if you don’t need to buy flour but I go there to get flour for my breadmaking. All their flour is ‘strong’ and milled right there. You can watch it all being done and they have a small stall inside the mill works where you can buy direct from the millers. It’s set just outside St Albans (westish!) and is surrounded by countryside. There is a lovely walk you can go on just by the mill. There is room for a few cars to park at the mill and I took a couple of toddlers who were fascinated by the workings of the mill.

This place is a secretssssh. OK, ok, I will tell you lot. The bakery is set in the rural picturesque grounds of an eighteenth century working Watermill close to St Albans. Organic stoneground flour is milled on site from grain sourced locally, then used to bake the most tastiest bread which has ever passed my lips. They produce such a huge range of organic breads and speciality goods that I was spoilt for choice, in the end after spending 20 minutes drooling over the vast selection I opted for the Pumpkin Bread and (swayed by it being fresh out of the oven) cheese and onion loaf. Delicious! The knowledgeable crew including a master baker that run this fantastic little place are welcoming and super helpful, it’s always a pleasure stopping by.
Local produce at its best. If you are ever in St Albans this is a must.
