The Hare & Hounds Bakery
Cowbridge

Our bakery was born out of the first lockdown in March 2020. Our pub, Hare & Hounds in Aberthin has always been known for its delicious homemade bread; when we went into lockdown we borrowed a food trailer off of a friend, and started selling our breads, pastries and sandwiches to the villagers of Aberthin and the people of Cowbridge.

Owner Tom has always had his eye on this building, ever since his beloved Grandma Anna sold food from the Tamarind here many years ago. It seemed almost serendipitous that it became available at such a stressful time for our industry, and so we went for it.

Some of our wonderful team from the Hare & Hounds are heading up this newest project. We’re selling our delicious breads to takeaway, along with coffee, pastries and sandwiches. We also offer breakfast, brunch and lunch to dine in, alongside the best local soft drinks and homemade freshly squeezed juices.

Food

As with our pubs, everything is made from scratch here in our kitchen. From our varied range of homemade breads and pastries, to our own ricotta, blood cake and brown sauce. Even our delicious hot chocolate is made from scratch by Gareth, and perfected by Rowan.

All produce is from the best local suppliers, from seasonal fruit and vegetables, to local eggs and Vale picked laverbread. As we all know, the Vale has some of the best produce that Wales has to offer. We’ll also soon be using produce from the Hare & Hounds / Heathcock Kitchen Garden, as well as meat from Tom and Dave’s latest Cured Meats Venture.

We’re so excited to have our baking and our seasonal, local food into the centre of Cowbridge.
