Paul's Bread

Paul’s Bread is a family-run artisan bakery working from Trereife Business Park on the edge of Penzance. Founder Paul began baking with his father, built a career across production, wholesale and training, and started delivering loaves to friends and neighbours during the 2020 lockdown. Growing demand led to a dedicated bakery near Penzance, with the business formally established in 2021, so this is a local producer built around baking experience rather than a generic retail range.

The selection goes well beyond a single sourdough. The official range includes white, wholemeal, tiger and malt-crunch loaves; ciabatta, focaccia and sourdough; rolls, cobs, bloomers, teacakes and other sweet bakes. Several products have earned recognition, including a gold award for the white tin loaf at the 2022 Tiptree World Bread Awards and Taste of the West golds for items including the malt-crunch loaf, teacakes and rolls. Ingredient and allergen information is published product by product, which is useful because the bakery handles wheat, soya, barley, dairy, eggs and almonds across its range.

Customers should check where to buy before heading to the production address, as Paul’s Bread lists stockists throughout west Cornwall rather than presenting the Trereife unit simply as a high-street shop. In Penzance, named stockists include businesses on Alverton Street and Causewayhead, with further outlets in Newlyn, Mousehole, Marazion and surrounding villages. The website is also the best place to check the current range, local stockists and online items such as sourdough starter kits before making a special trip.
