About us

Stephens Bakery is a 4th generation family business that is over 150 years in the baking, but don’t let that fool you into thinking we’re stuck in the past! We are a company that has never shied away from innovation - we were the first bakery to partner with convenience stores, the first to mobilise a bakery Jiffy Van and the first to open a stand-alone bakery drive-thru. We now have 15 retail shops and convenience partnerships with Coop, Scotmid, Morrisons and Independent retailers.When we’re not creating new ways to serve our customers, we’re staying true to our craft by using traditional baking methods and sourcing the finest local ingredients. With us, the proof is in the pudding, and this is why we won Scottish Craft Bakery of the Year, UK Craft Bakery Business of the Year and we are home to Scotland’s favourite Morning Roll, Steak Bridie and Double Biscuit.
