The PKB Bakehouse story began in 2017 when Jon and Mark, the main men behind Pot Kettle Black, decided to serve high-quality baked goods in-house. They teamed up with Manchester baker Mark Wegner and launched Pot Kettle Black’s Bakehouse in a small room next to the Barton Arcade coffee shop. Starting small with handmade doughs and croissants rolled by hand, they expanded to train apprentices and skilled bakers. As demand grew, they moved to a larger bakery on the banks of the Irwell in July 2019. Now, they have found a new home at Redbank court, a much bigger unit, where they continue to innovate classic bakes with modern takes. Their mission is to bring the best baked goods to the people of Manchester. Come, enjoy a pastry, and witness their passion at work.
