Grain and Hearth

               

Our flagship location in Whitstable is the heart of Grain & Hearth, where all our baking magic happens and fresh goods make their way to the counter throughout the day.

 

Beyond our signature brunch, pastries, breads, and sourdough sandwiches, we offer a curated selection of artisan products and ceramic homeware for you to browse. Whitstable is also home to our workshops and pop-ups, where you can join classes in sourdough baking, pizza making, hand lamination, and rye—all taught by our head baker and founder, Adam.

This certification supports our aim to go plastic-free, zero-waste, and source local, ecological ingredients, making our Whitstable location not only a destination for quality and craftsmanship but also for eco-conscious baking practices. Come experience the taste of our commitment, fresh from the oven every day.
