Adkins Bakery

Remember getting hot cross buns from Adkins for William Bancrofts on Roden Street before they closed in the 90s. A hot cross bun for every employee at Easter, irrespective of role within the company. The buns were always outstanding, fresh, tasty and enjoyed by every one. Freshly delivered with a smile. Glad they are still in business and doing well. Long may they continue.

This Nottingham family Bakery deserves alot of credit for standing the test of time and weathering the difficult trading conditions over the years for the bakery industry (many well known inc Browns, Turners, Dawsons, flewitts the original Pork farms and many others have fallen) Adkins Still producing quality bread and cakes at a good price. I used to live on Stonebridge road near to their old premises and many times, especially on late friday nights, seen the bakers chasing the drunks nicking cobs that were outside cooling down lol I had a brief spell here back in 1985 on work experience before I left school and an experience it was!!! Lots of characters and think the owner back then was mick? Top bloke although it did not take much for him to lose his rag!! proper old school gaffer. Hope they continue to do well.............
