A Liverpool bakery, that was under the thumb of a noted Chester-based restaurateur and chef, has closed. Usher’s Bakehouse, located in the Baltic Triangle, has removed all signs from its storefront.<\/p>\n

Usher’s Bakehouse <\/a>was the latest venture from Gary Usher, the chef behind Liverpool’s seafood restaurant Wreck. His company, Elite Bistro’s, owns sites including Chester’s Sticky Walnut, Didsbury’s Hispi <\/a>and Burnt Truffle in Heswall<\/a>, which closed last year.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Gary sought to revive the family baker name and opened Usher\u2019s Bakehouse in Hoole, Chester. On its opening day, the bakery reported there had been queues early in the morning to get in with its bread and cookies “selling out fast”.<\/p>\n

Liverpool’s Usher’s Bakehouse<\/a> opened on Baltic Triangle’s Bridgewater Street on Wednesday, August 20, 2025. The company said it would be \u201cbringing the city the same irresistible baked goods that have taken Chester by storm”.<\/p>\n

Now, the site appears to be permanently closed, with all signs removed from the premises. The Usher’s Bakehouse branding has been removed from the glass front along with furniture inside.<\/p>\n

Usher’s Bakehouse is listed as permanently closed on Google, with the Liverpool site also removed from the company website’s list of locations and social media biographies.<\/p>\n

The last reference publicly made to the Liverpool site was on January 31 on Instagram. The ECHO has contacted a spokesperson for a comment.<\/p>\n

Gary comes from a long history of bakers. His grandad, Gordon Usher, opened the original Usher\u2019s Bakehouse in St Albans, back in 1968. Gary\u2019s dad then took the reins and left school to take over the bakery, expanding to three sites, before the family sold the business when Gordon\u2019s health declined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The site appears to be permanently closed, with all signs removed from the premises The Usher’s Bakehouse premises…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":870141,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[8815],"tags":[9732,748,393,4884,179,16,15],"class_list":["post-870140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-liverpool","tag-baltic-triangle","tag-britain","tag-england","tag-great-britain","tag-liverpool","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116342839862565950","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=870140"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870140\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/870141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=870140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=870140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=870140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
