Judges Bakery Opens at Selfridges

these little piggies went to the bakery!

You know your French stick from your focaccia, your pumpernickel from your pita, your dough balls from your donuts.

So you’ll be pleased to know that Judges Bakery — the popular Hastings outpost — is now open inside Selfridges Food Hall. Owned and run by Green & Black’s founders Craig Sams and Josephine Fairley, the bakery has full organic status, with baker Emmanuel Hadjiandreou (Gordon Ramsay, The Savoy, Daylesford Organic) at its helm.

At the counter, find slow-risen (eighteen hours minimum) artisan breads alongside cakes, shortbread, macaroons and Judges’s famous pink meringue pigs, which are tinted with raspberry puree and beetroot juice instead of artificial colourings.

A load of posh nosh or exceptional daily bread?

We’ll let you be the judge of that.

Judges Bakery, at Selfridges, 400 Oxford Street, W1A 1AB (0800 12 34 000 or judgesbakery.com).
