We use hand-made leaven made a few years ago in our Sourdoughs and keep it fed all the time. We also use and sell commercially available wild fresh yeast.  We do NOT add any improver or any ingredient to artificially speed up the prcesss, don’t worry

1) Little Chalfont – we are situated at No. 4 Chenies Parade, Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire HP7 9PH.  We are a few doors down from the little Tesco store and a few minutes walk across the road from Chalfont & Latimer station on the Metropolitan/ Chiltern Line.  There is plenty of parking – free for an hour outside the bakery along the one-way parade and easily opposite in the Cytiva carpark – thank you Cytiva from Little Chalfont!  Don’t be tempted to park on the double yellow lines or round the back of the shops as the parking attendants are often out in force!

2) Windsor – we are at 46 Peascod Street which is pedestrianised, and within walking distance of St Leonards, the Station and the Castle. Look for the yellow canopy just down from Caffe Nero.  We recommend parking at East Berkshire College, just 5 minutes’ walk down St Leonard’s Road – less expensive, easy access off the Windsor bypass roundabout, and usually has spaces.

Little Chalfont: We are open Monday – Saturdays 7.30am – 2.30pm, and Sundays 8.30 – 2.30.  
Windsor: Whilst we wait for the utilities companies to sort out our power supply, we have to save power for baking so are opening later, Monday – Saturdays 9 – 5, and Sundays 9 – 4.  We do plan to open earlier as soon as we can!!

No we are a family-run business with just 2 shops! Originally in Little Chalfont & now also in Windsor.  We think it’s probably a compliment that everyone seems to think we look as “professional” as a chain, but there’s certainly no sloppy chain store values at Rex.  Find out more about the Rex values here

For larger one-off orders, please email hello@rexbakery.com with any requests, we will let you know if we can accommodate you within our bake list plan and you must prepay please.  We need plenty of notice because Sourdoughs take 3 days to make & everything takes at least 24 hours – there is no fast food at Rex 🙂  

Unfortunately we cannot just put aside product for you to collect as that upsets the customers who are queuing in person.  We hope that you can understand.

You can check the ingredients lists for each of our top selling baked items on our Product pages, on the pricing labels in the shops and by asking the staff who have access to an Allergens list.  We avoid the unnecessary use of egg because we know that some customers avoid it for dietary, religious & lifestyle choice reasons. We do use generous egg glaze on our viennoiserie and scones although sometimes we can offer with & without to order.  

All our loaves take at least 24 hours to make properly, but Sourdoughs take up to 3 days.  Sourdough pricing reflects the very lengthy, intense & skilled production process to naturally create a delicious & right-textured loaf that is the best possible for your body .  We actually think it’s really good value considering the craft that goes into it – some people joke that a 3 day Artisan loaf costs only about the same as a cup of coffee which takes minutes to make!

We would never use the commercially available “low GI” flours in Rex Artisan Bakery because they are chemically altered and full of dubious additives with uncertain impact on the body.  That seems to defeat the very purpose of using them!  Instead, for dietary/ bloating concerns we always recommend that you start with Sourdough which is naturally low GI thanks to the 3 day fermenting process which means you eat a highly tolerant product that is clinically proven not to affect your blood GI & is therefore best for dieters.

We are a family living & working in Little Chalfont in the Chilterns, and started Rex Artisan Bakery in Little Chalfont and now in Windsor.  Everything is hand-made on the premises using organic ingredients.  Please stop by to visit us!
