Biggar Flavour

Award winning family run retail bakery.

Biggar Flavour opened in June 2011 in the site of the previous town bakery, next door to the Orchard. We saw it as an opportunity to expand our business in a manner that complemented what we were already doing with our Biggar Flavour Preserves. It also gave us much needed front shop space for ranges of products that we felt were not readily available in Biggar. We also hoped that other local small businesses could use any extra space as a shop front for their range.

We - Ranald and Jane- are both keen cooks and bakers and now spend much of our time in Biggar Flavour kitchen. Our family have all had significant input into what our customers will see as the regular core ranges within the shop counters.

Our goal – as in The Orchard – is to provide quality produce and service for our customers. We have excellent staff with Carolyn, Isabel, and Andy working alongside Alan (chef) and us behind the scenes creating all the tempting treats. Our front shop team – Elaine, Helen, Fiona and Lynsey – will serve you with a smile and chat happily to customers both locals and those who stop off for refreshments while passing through Biggar.

Breads:

Our range of breads, which are baked on site and available on a daily basis, include white, wholemeal, granary or multiseed with white and wholemeal being available as round or tin loafs.

Throughout the week we have other varieties; and on a Friday & Saturday have “special” loaves baked with the Wessex Mill range. Sourdough is also baked for the weekend.

At any time bread or rolls can be made to order – just ask!

We also stock a range of Morning Rolls – white, brown & cracked wheat and Big Softie Rolls – white, cracked wheat, Sesame seed and poppy seed and a large Oatmeal sliced Loaf.

We are happy to take orders for bread or rolls at any time whether on a regular basis or for one off occasions.

We’ve recently joined the Real Bread Campaign as we make Real Bread with no artificial additives.


Patisserie:

We have a large variety of cakes, biscuits, traybakes and tarts in our patisserie counter that are ALL made on the premises. We have regular favourites that are nearly always available which include Empire biscuits; Millionaire shortbread; Custard creams; Honeymoon shortbread; Gypsy creams; Malteser cake; Date slice: Viennese whirls: Apple tart: Carrot cake; Peppermint slice; Rocky road; Fruit slice; and Mallow roll.

But we love nothing more than trying new recipes so regularly change some of the other items so that our customers can enjoy something different each time they visit.

As well as this we usually have some sort of sponge cake available. Strawberry tarts and meringues are firm favourites in summer months made with fresh cream. Cupcakes are different every batch baked.

We also cater for those with dietary requirements always having gluten free and vegan cakes available.

Our high quality baking was rewarded with the a "Scottish Homebaking Award" in 2013.

We have two varieties of soup made fresh daily – one is always a vegetarian option. Our hot counter contains a large range of pies with our own homemade fillings such as steak, chicken curry or macaroni cheese. We also have traditional Scotch Pies, Sausage Rolls and Bridies; and hot filled rolls with Bacon, Link & Lorne Sausage, Black Pudding or we can cook eggs to order either fried or scrambled.
