A new bakery is opening its doors in Clifton this week. Catley's in Clifton will be opening officially on Wednesday for takeaway only at first as it awaits a licensing change-over. Once this comes through, customers can enjoy a beautiful dine-in mezzanine space where they can tuck into a range of delicious baked goods.
Catley's, located on King's Road, is the sister bakery to owner Hannah Catley's first bakery site, Lockdown Loaves, in Winterbourne. Hannah, 27, spent 10 years as a pastry chef in some of London's best restaurants and came back to her hometown of Bristol because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
During that time, she started baking from home for the local community throughout the subsequent Covid lockdowns and within three weeks she had accumulated some 150 returning customers. Because of this, she decided to "take the leap" and open Lockdown Loaves, which she says is something she's "super proud of".
