We're opening as a very small team, just myself and my husband to start with in a very small space in terms of bakery and as such it would be impossible to offer an extensive range that caters to multiple dietary requirements and avoid cross contamination of allergens. Alongside these concerns we will be drawing upon our shared love of traditional baking techniques a great many of which do rely on amazing flour and great quality dairy. However, we do have family member who suffers with Coeliac disease and recognise the importance of providing really great options for those with dietary requirments. When we are able, and we are confident we can offer those options safely, we would love to expand our range to include those. However, initially, it will be focussed on what we love and what we can handle, and that is traditional baking, with an Australian twist.
Many of our breads are dairy free, sweet items change daily but we cannot guarantee that we will have dairy free items on the counter when you visit. If you'd like more information please do email us at katrina@outposteccleston.com and we can let you know if and when more dairy free options will be available on our counter
We strive to use locally sourced and organic ingredients whenever possible to ensure the highest quality and freshness.
We would love to discuss wholesale options for you including for breads, pastries and sweet items please contact us at katrina@outposteccleston.com
Our little micro bakery has taken up pretty much all the room inside but we do have some seating available at the front of the bakery
We love dogs and we welcome friendly well behaved dogs. We normally have water for four legged friends out front and often have freshly baked dog treats available to purchase from our counter inside
We have a very small and valuable team at Outpost, Eccleston and we would never dream of keeping them away from family at Christmas time. We also shut over new years but keep your eyes on our social media for the most up to date guidance on our opening hours
We have a space directly outside the front and we are directly opposite a car park, free for 2 hours and there are also many free on street parking spaces nearby
At the moment we offer Oat milk as an alternative in our hot drinks. We do this because we believe it works best with the coffee we have on offer and limiting choice of alternative milks reduces the chance of these going to waste.
We prefer to operate as a cashless business however, we will accept cash although we cannot guarantee that we would always have correct change as we don't necessarily have a large cash float.
We love big celebrations and making big cakes! Please do send us an email at Katrina@outposteccleston.com to tell us your idea and we'll see if we can help bring it to life
We do offer many of our products without nuts but given that we're a very small team and we bake everything on site in our micro bakery we cannot guarantee that our products are completely free from nuts. We use almonds, hazelnuts and pistachios extensively throughout the year and other nuts less regularly as well.
We do have a wonderful courtyard out the back which we we do plan on using in the near future. There is seperate access to down the side alley and it is mostly covered to offer some protection from the elements. If you would like to host an event there we would love to hear from you and we might even be able to help with some of the catering as well! Please send all queries to katrina@outposteccleston.com and we can discuss your requirments and organise a visit as well.
We haven't before but I'm sure it could be arranged if you see something from our counter that you'd love to treat your co workers in the office with then please do get in touch. We would probably require at least 72 hours notice. Please do get in touch if we can send some lovely treats your way!
As parents ourselves we know that it can be difficult trying to find little ones treats that are also healthy. We don't claim to be a health food supplier but rest assured we use completely natural ingredients and source as locally as possible to ensure the highest quality. We are also committed to reducing the use of sugar. In our opinion very sugary bakes and the use of nutella and biscoff etc can mask poor quality ingredients and you won't see these types of products on sale on our counter.
