Bread & Banjo Bakery first opened its doors in 2011 with a mission to bring artisan breads to Northern Ireland at a time when locally sourced sourdough was virtually unavailable. Through hard work, determination, and continuous refinement of our recipes and methods, we have built a strong reputation in the bakery industry across Ireland and the UK. Not just for our sourdoughs but for our croissants, bagels, and unique yeasted breads. The results we have achieved: exceptional breads with outstanding flavour, setting us apart form store-bought alternatives.
Our bakers are passionate about their craft and committed to carrying on our tradition—baking every loaf with the same love and attention that has defined us from the beginning.
Due to increasing demand from our loyal customers and wholesale inquiries from local retailers, we are seeking funding to expand our operations. Our current bakery setup limits production capacity, preventing us from fulfilling large orders.
Bread & Banjo Bakery is seeking funding to secure a larger retail unit that will allow us to expand production and meet growing customer demand. Our current space limits our ability to scale, and a new, larger unit will enable us to increase output while maintaining the artisan quality that defines our brand.
With this expansion, we plan to equip our bakery with essential professional-grade equipment, including a deck oven, a large dough mixer, and a dough sheeter and rounder. These upgrades will streamline production, improve efficiency, and allow us to consistently produce our most popular items at a higher volume.
By increasing our production capacity, we will not only better serve our loyal retail customers but also strengthen our ability to provide bespoke bread offerings to local businesses, cafés, delis, and restaurants. This investment will help us bring more unique, high-quality baked goods to the community while supporting the growth of our business partnerships.
We are committed to creating exceptional artisan bread and pastries, and this expansion is a crucial step in fulfilling that mission. We can’t wait to better serve both our existing community and our new community with the help of this campaign.
For years, our customers have asked us to offer baking classes. Now, we’re making it happen—with your help.
