Oxford’s Bakery

This place is usually open now.

Discover a true taste of Dorset at Oxfords Bakery, a fourth-generation family bakery that has been crafting delicious, freshly baked goods since 1911. With seven locations across the county, including Bridport, Dorchester and the beautiful village of Abbotsbury, Oxfords is a much-loved Dorset favourite, combining traditional baking skills with a passion for quality local ingredients.

At Oxfords, local produce is at the heart of everything they do. From wheat grown in Blandford and milled in Shaftesbury to milk and dairy products from Osmington, their ingredients celebrate the very best of Dorset. Every day, the fourth generation of Oxford bakers handcrafts an enticing range of products, bringing generations of knowledge, care and craftsmanship to every loaf, cake and pastry.

Whether you fancy a traditional Dorset Lardy Cake, a beautifully made sourdough loaf using stoneground organic flour, or a freshly baked pastry, there’s plenty to tempt you. Their bakery shops also serve expertly prepared barista coffee, alongside delicious lunches made with local produce. Enjoy freshly prepared sandwiches, quiches, savouries, vibrant salads and warming soups, with a great choice of vegetarian and vegan options too.

Oxfords is about more than just great food. Its original bakery in Alweston, near Sherborne, dates back to the early 20th century, with historic ovens installed in 1921 still forming part of its fascinating heritage. The family’s commitment to traditional techniques and quality ingredients continues to this day.

Whether you’re picking up breakfast before a coastal walk, stopping for coffee and cake during a day exploring Dorset, or taking home something delicious to enjoy at your holiday accommodation, Oxfords Bakery is well worth a visit.
