LOCAL SUPPLIERS KEEP COSTA PERKED UP

We are a well established flexible and innovative family bakery business . Established in 1946 , we now have three important strands to our business . Bells of Lazonby is a traditional regional craft bakery brand with an exciting new offshoot :

WeLoveCake - focusing on supplying great quality cakes to the Food Service trade .

The Village Bakery is one of the most respected organic brands .

Ok Foods - our ‘ Free From ’ business brand is run from a dedicated gluten , wheat and dairy-free site also supplying supermarket own label products . and Lemon Cupcakes to our Victoria Sponge , all of which are hand finished by the talented staff . Bells has been making cakes for over sixty years and it is still a family business with Michael Bell , son of founder John Bell , heading up the business . Similarly a quarter of all its employees have worked at the business for over ten years . The bakery ’ s heritage and focus on its employees ensures we can be confident that everyone in the supply chain is treated properly and has been made by experienced skilled workers .

Similarly we have procured the services of a family baker , Rowe ’ s that is based in Penryn , Cornwall to make our scones because an additional benefit of using traditional , independent bakers is that they in turn often use local suppliers . This helps to ensure our supply chain continues to be traceable . For example the butter used by Rowe ’ s is sourced from a local creamery in Davidstow and the buttermilk and cream from a Cornish dairy in Trewithan .
