The Story Behind Humble & Whole Bakery

Nestled in the heart of Rossett, Wrexham, Humble & Whole Bakery was born in August 2019 from a simple but powerful belief: that bread — real bread — should be made with care, honesty, and ingredients you can trust.

Meet Rebecca

Behind every loaf, every pastry, and every carefully crafted bake is Rebecca Griffiths. Rebecca started Humble & Whole with a clear vision: to bring genuinely artisan baking to North Wales, rooted in the seasons and the land around us. For Rebecca, baking has never been about shortcuts. It's about patience, craft, and a deep respect for ingredients — the kind of baking that takes time because the best things always do.

"Humble, natural, seasonal, and carefully sourced" — these aren't just words on a page. They're the principles that guide every decision made in the bakery, from which flour to use to which producers to partner with.

From Field to Loaf: Our Local Sourcing

One of the things we're most proud of at Humble & Whole is knowing exactly where our ingredients come from. Our organic flour and rapeseed oil are sourced from Mountain Produce in Minera — a local producer just a short distance from the bakery. Choosing local isn't just a feel-good decision; it means fresher ingredients, a smaller footprint, and a direct connection to the land of North Wales.

When you buy a loaf from us, you're not just supporting a small bakery — you're supporting a whole network of local growers and producers who share our values.

The Heart of the Bakery: Our Sourdough Starter

Ask any sourdough baker what their most prized possession is, and they'll tell you: the starter. Ours has been carefully nurtured and maintained since the very beginning, and it finds its way into many of our most beloved products. A good sourdough starter is a living thing — it needs feeding, attention, and time. In return, it gives your bread a depth of flavour, a beautiful crust, and a natural fermentation that's genuinely good for you.

It's one of the reasons our bread tastes the way it does — and why we wouldn't have it any other way.

More Than a Bakery

Humble & Whole is also a place for community. Alongside our bakes, we host events like our popular Tapas and Wine Nights — a chance to gather, share good food, and enjoy the kind of evening that feels a little bit special. We offer local delivery and collection, so whether you're in Rossett or nearby, fresh artisan bread is never far away.

We were thrilled to receive a food hygiene rating of 5 in December 2024 — a reflection of the care and standards we hold ourselves to every single day.
