About

The bakery adjoining the mill still has its original, coal-fired oven for you to see. The bakery worked up until the 1950s, 30 years after the mill had stopped and many people used to walk to the mill to collect their bread.

We still bake in the original bakery and sell a wide range of bread and cakes. We also sell the flour that we use for our baking, and other speciality flours.

We are proud to produce a range of artisan breads made simply with few ingredients, we have been baking bread for seven generations, come and experience a proper traditional loaf.  We make cakes and buns too to eat in or take home for tea.

Bread baking experience: Come and bake bread at Bircham Windmill. No need to book.

Make and bake: You can choose the quick Make & Bake option where we give you a piece of dough and you create whatever you like with it using our cutters, rolling pins and bread tins, we then bake it off for you to take home. This costs £3.95 and is suitable for anyone and everyone aged 2 to 102. It runs from 9am to 3pm.

Bake a loaf from scratch: We provide all the ingredients and the inspiration and you can create your very own loaf. It runs from 9am to 2pm.

Please note, neither of the above activities is staff supervised.
