The Crust Bacup in Rossendale

This is such a lovely bakery and we feel so lucky to have such an original artisnal place right on our doorstep. There is a wonderful range of loaves and batons available, which are baked perfectly. Their olive studded ciabatta is amazing! Our tradition is to nip out early on a Saturday to get pastries for our breakfast (back home and in bed with a pot of tea haha!). Danish crowns, croissants, cinnamon rolls! We have also sat in on occasions and enjoyed a hot Polish or English breakfast. The atmosphere is relaxing and has a vintage feel. The bakers and staff are kind and interesting to speak to. I look forward to hearing what recipes they are testing out in the back each week. They've now started making pierogis, which I can't wait to try!

This gorgeous bakery on the main road in Stacksteads, Bacup is a wonder of Polish breads, cakes, breakfasts, lunches, and friendly chats. I try to call in once a week and try something new. The range of loaves is great, with most being Sourdough, but some are golden, wholemeal, a mix of both, and other ingredients. There's also the normal tin loaves, plaits, fabulously soft baps, and breakfast croissants, etc on show. The cakes are very nice, some being passed down from Polish Grand-parents. Breakfasts and lunches are served to eat in at the small eating area or to take away. They've recently added Calzones, but be prepared to wait 20 minutes while it is freshly cooked - or call ahead and order. The couple who run this are such lovely friendly people, with a passion to bake the very best their home nation has to offer.

Great choice of breads and cakes. Lovely friendly staff.There is a little cafe also but haven’t eaten in.

Lovely little bakery where you can buy a large selection of breads and pastries as well as hot snacks and a cup of coffee.They also do a selection of breakfasts. Lovely staff and very friendly .
