The best bread in Tunbridge Wells

I had a lovely Abugene and chick-pea salad with herbs and seeds and chunky bread in the Bicycle Bakery today. Jamie the proprietor has a natural talent for baking and food making of exceptional niceness and simplicity rarely found when eating out. He says it is easy.

The feature of this little Bakery/Café is that everything uses traditional recipes and methods. So traditionally unglazed breads are vegan but if it is glazed it will be with egg - so the veg-sausage roll is egg-glazed. No bread mixes are used in any case these may have milk, soya and other untraditional things in them. I bought bread today, which buy-the-way is the best in Tunbridge Well.

When the Bicycle Bakery now the Bakery first opened, the chalk sign outside said things like take vegan bacon, chuck it away and fry up some real bacon. I tend to agree, but I would also chuck the bacon away as well. The bakery has changed and got a little bigger over the 11 years it has been open and opened in the Town Hall in 2025 as well. I have been offered soya milk with coffee and tea, but back to the first principle don't want either of those.
