Small Food Bakery is big on its flavours and friendliness
Nottingham Post
|April 10, 2025
THE aroma hit me as soon as I stepped inside the red double doors.
The kind of waft that wraps you in a comforting blanket and makes your mouth water tells me I'm in the right place on a residential street in the heart of student land.
I have heard about Nottingham's Small Food Bakery, I've written about it, but I've never visited before. I was given the nudge I needed after the Good Food Guide listed it as one of Britain's top 50 bakeries this week. Tough Mary's Bakehouse, in Derby Road, which I know and love, also made the grade.
In my defence, I was going to try out the Small Food Bakery once before but arrived to find it closed as it's only open three days a week, from Thursday to Saturday. It's in an odd location in a former primary school in Seely Road, which links Derby Road and Ilkeston Road. Parking outside the building is limited but there was plenty of space on Ilkeston Road, where you can leave your car for up to two hours for free.
