 Who
are we?
Pocklingtons was established in 1924 by Cyril Pocklington, the 3rd
youngest of 14 children of a Louth Miller, James Pocklington. The
family still own and manages the business. Currently Cyril’s
grandson, Christopher & his wife Tina, run the business. Best
known for our famous Lincolnshire Plum Bread, we have won awards for
our product quality and customer service in our shops – as voted
for by the “Tastes of Lincolnshire” judges.
We have a modern bakery situated in the small village of Withern,
where the family have lived since the mid 1800’s.
Where are we?
Although products are not available from the bakery, we supply the
village post office, opposite the bakery and also supply many businesses
across the county of Lincolnshire. We have four of our own shop
which stock the full range of our home made products. These can
be found at Louth, Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Ashby Market, where our
knowledgeable staff will assist you.
What do we do?
We try to maintain traditional baking methods, baking fresh crusty
bread & soft rolls using traditional recipes.
Wherever possible, we use locally sourced ingredients, locally grown
wheat for our flour, local eggs & vegetable oil for our cakes.
Milk for our delicious Egg Custards comes from the local dairy.
We cook all our own meat for pies, pasties and savouries –
all sourced from the local butcher. Our famous Lincolnshire Plum
Bread is available across the county and also available by mail
order. We can post worldwide if required.
How long have we been doing it?
Our first retail experience was back in 1924 when Cyril
Pocklington stood on the outside market at the Bull Ring in Grimsby
town centre. Our current Bakery was built in 1980 and extended in
1995.
Who do we supply?
We supply a wide range of businesses across Lincolnshire,
including food shops, butchers, delicatessens, restaurants cafes,
pubs, garden centres, farm shops and one off events such as hog
roasts and shows
