"One of the things that I love about baking is that you have to use your imagination"

Aidan Chapman  

Aidan is a passionate baker who thrives off sharing his knowledge. He was trained by Master Baker Steve Cooper at the Granary Bakery in Surrey before working at The Celtic Bakery in London. Whilst in London he was heavily influenced by the organic movement and farmer's markets which gave him the chance to showcase his artisan breads to an appreciative audience. This gave him the belief to treat every shop window like a market stall - full of vibrant, colourful, seasonal, local and handmade products.The aim to wow every customer! Aidan set up Leaker’s Bakery after relocating to Dorset in 2003 and then The Town Mill Bakery in Lyme Regis, both to critical acclaim.

 

He is a Master Baker of breads, cakes and pastries and his famous eccles cakes and chocolate brownies have stolen hearts all across the UK.
