Forge Bakehouse is set to open a new outlet in Sheffield’s Banner Cross, continuing its expansion with the launch of Deli by Forge Bakehouse.
The new site, located at 910 Ecclesall Road, is due to open in early August and will stock the full Forge Bakehouse range alongside a wide variety of locally-sourced goods. While the focus will be on takeaway items, the shop will also include a small seating area for customers wanting to stop in.
The independent bakery brand already operates cafés and shops in Abbeydale Road, Beauchief, Lodge Moor and Dronfield, as well as an outlet at Sheffield Station. It also supplies fresh pastries and bread to venues including True North Brew Co’s Forum Kitchen and Bar at Devonshire Green.
Michael Bevan, Head of People, Products and Customer Experience at Forge Bakehouse, said: “Sheffield is at the heart of everything we do and we are delighted to be able to announce the launch of a new Forge Bakehouse concept in such a popular area of the city.
“The core of our success is the continued use of the finest quality ingredients and a team of fantastic chefs, bakers and baristas, all bringing the best quality to our customers.
“We are confident that Deli by Forge Bakehouse has found the perfect location and we look forward to welcoming customers.”
Forge Bakehouse has been nominated for multiple awards, recognised for its artisan breads, pastries, sandwiches and savouries. Its cafés are also known for their coffee and tea offerings, regularly updated by a team of experienced baristas.
The Beauchief café, on Hutcliffe Wood Road, features a curated range of locally sourced milk, butter and meats, alongside British farmhouse and artisan cheeses from Cheese and Friends – also available at the Lodge Moor site.
“Once we have launched Ecclesall Road, we will be focusing on delivering the same attention to detail and a similar fantastic product range to our Banner Cross customers,” added Michael.
“It’s all about sourcing the right products to complement the breads, cakes and pastries that are produced fresh every day by the outstanding team at our Abbeydale Road bakehouse.”
