Everyone Goes Nuts, Over Phil's Walnut Bread

We don't think we need to tell the people of Lytham St Annes how good Phil's Bakery is, however when the Master Baker himself calls you, to say his Walnut Bread sales have gone through the roof thanks to one of your own recipes, you have to boast about it !

Pictured Below, Paul Rowley with Phil

We got the call of Phil after one of Pauls recipes was seen by many in Life Magazine (The Saturday supplement in The Evening Gazette) The Mushroom Crostini recipe was one of many of Phils products which feature in our menu's

Keep up the good work Phil, It is great to have a local bakery which has such fine products.
