” Robbie, who owns the successful Northern Rye with his wife Alex, explained: “This all started when I was made redundant from a long career in the print trade in 2016. “As I had always been interested in the food industry I took this opportunity to take the leap and retrain. “I enrolled on a baking course at the School of Artisan Food in 2016, which sparked my now ongoing obsession with bread and all things leavened.
I graduated in 2017 and later that year I started Northern Rye.” The bakery describes itself as a “handcrafted, small batch bakery” specialising in sourdough bread, pastries, sandwiches and coffee, as stated on its Facebook page.
