We are thrilled to share that we are opening our new shop location in Gilkes Street, Middlesbrough. This relocation was a necessary move, due to the redevelopment of Captain Cook Square, and we couldn’t be happier to be able to continue serving our loyal customers from a new home just 200 metres away from our previous location. Our new shop boasts all the same high-quality, freshly baked goods that our customers have come to know and love, including bread, cakes, pies, and pastries, but we also have some exciting new surprises in store. We are thrilled to introduce our new range of “hots,” both traditional favourites and some fun new ones, sure to satisfy any savoury craving. This includes toasted sandwiches, freshly fried egg sandwiches and an omelette in a bun, all freshly made to order in store.  As a family business, we understand the importance of community and are committed to providing the highest quality baked goods to our…

Are you a student or young person who regularly shops at Thomas the Baker? Whether you’re just grabbing your lunch during the day at college, stocking up on loaves for the week, or simply treating yourself to something sweet, our 5% discount is available to all children from 5 and upwards as well as students on production of a valid NUS or student card.

The Triple Chocolate Cake, as seen in the above picture, is a rich chocolate sponge cake containing dark Belgian chocolate chunks and topped with Belgian milk chocolate chips (these are my personal favourite ingredient in the bakery!); a generous slice of this is perfect with a cup of tea in the afternoon. It is available for only £2 in our shops. The Sticky Toffee Pudding is a super indulgent dessert; a luscious toffee pudding made with butter, dates and golden syrup, topped with lashings of our homemade sticky toffee sauce. This can be heated up in the microwave or in the oven following the instructions on the label for a taste of luxury in the evenings with a scoop of proper vanilla ice cream or…
