Our story started when a little boy was inspired by his grandfather Rex, the original artisan with talents in carpentry, gardening, dressmaking, building and more.  Glenn was always a keen cook throughout his years in the City, but then took the plunge to learn how to bake at the Artisan School of Food and by apprenticing at a fabulous real bread bakery himself. He started baking bread for a community following initially from the family home garage, which led to opening the Little Chalfont shop in 2014.  This continued to grow over the years, adding in wholesale delivery to discernin ..read more

A new dawn, a new kind of August
Rex Bakery

Normally August is a slightly quieter month in Rex, with lots of local residents & workers out of town and the family dragging the Rex Baker away for his summer holiday.  Not this year.  In 2020, we all continue to roll with the punches. Seeing really no easy or fast end to the pandemic on the horizon, we took the decision to refit the bakery in favour of a high end retail experience, to bring the space up in line with the award-winning quality of the #realfood we make.  This has meant beautiful new display units, layout and improved p ..read more

Wondering about Rex lockdown life?

It’s been 6 weeks since we announced our 3-step measures during the pandemic, on 14th March, with Phase 1 (cashless, new hygiene measures, shifts of staff in the bakery for distancing, customer distancing in the shop with floor markings…) live ahead of any government interventions.    One week later as pubs were closed, we removed eat in and moved to serving from the doorway only, with our acrylic sneeze guard in place.  Our set-up has become more like a market stall than a bakery-coffee house, with the baskets of bread surrounding the lobby which 1 customer at a time can view ..read more

We are facing unprecedented times. Horrendous death toll predicted, NHS overwhelmed, threat of lock down, new terms “social distancing” and “self isolation”, school closure & exam cancellation, international travel over, stocks & shares collapsed and businesses closing everywhere. Rex Artisan Bakery opened in Little Chalfont March 26th, 2014.  We have survived & thrived through many challenges since then and yet 1 week short of 6 years later – we find ourselves fighting for survival. As business owners we have been cautious & careful at every step ..read more

Do awards even matter? Rex Bakery has won many, many awards since 2014 including 27 medals at the annual World Bread Awards, Best Bread in Britain (Multiseed), Best Bakery in the Chilterns judged by the Chiltern Society, 2 stars in the Great Taste awards for Pan Galego.   We received the best level of recognition ever in the World Bread Awards 2019, and this has made us reflect on the value of bakery awards generally.

Is Rex Bakery up for sale?

Have you heard the rumours doing the rounds in Little Chalfont, that Rex Bakery is up for sale? Well one or two of you have spotted that 4 Chenies Parade, the home of Rex Bakery  is indeed on the market but don’t worry  – we are NOT on the move!! When we started this business around 4 years ago , we were concerned that we might struggle to establish ourselves because of  the exorbitant levels of rent demanded by professional investors, who by the way dominate your high street and mostly have no feeling or interest in the area.  It is one of the reasons many independent bu ..read more

“Great food but expensive” (*cue spirited response from owners*) “I warn you that their prices are up there with the likes of Costa but worth a treat….” (Costa! bahaha!  *cue even more spirited response* ) In amongst a lot of amazing reviews which we LOVE reading, thank you so much – our dear Friends of Rex and reviewers on Google & Tripadvisor prove that they think about pricing & the cost of living, and the value of what they buy on a daily basis.  Well, great minds think aike   Like many small business owners in Britain, we obsess about these issu ..read more

Bread on holiday?   Ugh.  We were happy to come back home to Rex!
Rex Bakery

The Rex Baker managed to get away for a couple of weeks to Barcelona & Catalunya in August As always, the family knew to expect some fieldwork with side-trips to Spanish artisan bakeries.  Unfortunately – not only are real bakeries as few & far between as they are in the UK, but they tend to close down for 2 weeks in August themselves, so we didn’t manage to find too many exciting new loaves. As it’s hard to imagine a Rex family meal without a basket of bread or not sandwich-based, this meant exploring what presumably so many people consume on a daily basis ..read more
