Cottage Bakery has been forced to close one of two of its sites after battling a difficult economic climate for the past three years. The much loved bakery made the difficult decision to shut its Fishponds branch on Downend Road for good on January 29 with "heartfelt sadness".
The independent bakery is famous for its bread, cake and pastries as well as its bespoke celebration cakes. Cottage Bakery will continue to run its site on Rounceval Street in Chipping Sodbury, serving its bread and bakes seven days a week.
Making the announcement on Facebook, Cottage Bakery said: "It is with heartfelt sadness that we have to announce the closure of our Downend/Fishponds shop. We have been through some of the most turbulent times for small business in recent years with Covid-19 and now spiralling costs with supplies and utilities.
