65+ Years of Bakery Craft & Innovation
Greenhalgh’s Craft Bakery, founded in 1957, has a rich history steeped in tradition and commitment to excellence. From humble beginnings, the bakery has grown to become one of the largest employers in the Bolton area. Moreover, Greenhalgh’s has consistently delivered high-quality bakery products to its loyal customers. Let’s delve into the story behind this beloved family bakery.
The Early Years
Initially, the bakery was sold to Allan Smart after Mecca took over the Palais Company in 1957. Subsequently, he renamed his new venture “Greenhalgh’s Model Bakery.” As a result, the bakery quickly outgrew the small premises in Julia Street, Horwich. Consequently, in 1971, the bakery relocated to the old Beehive Mill site in Lostock, where it remains today.
Craftsmanship and Tradition
At Greenhalgh’s, baking is more than a process—it’s an art form. In fact, craftsmanship defines our approach, ensuring we follow our hearts and never cut corners. Moreover, our carefully chosen ingredients reflect the artisan traditions we adhere to when creating our recipes. Each product embodies the passion and attention to detail that has transcended generations. Furthermore, our commitment to maintaining traditional family values and baking techniques sets us apart.
Quality Above All
Quality, not quantity, is our mantra. Good quality ingredients and baking skills remain as crucial today as they were for our founder, Mr. Allan Smart. Balancing modern technology with traditional methods, we’ve created fantastic products that delight our customers. Our extensive product range includes bread, morning goods, savoury treats, breakfast items, confectionery, sandwiches, cakes, soups, and ready meals. Notably, our wedding and celebration cakes have gained popularity for their exquisite taste and craftsmanship.

Greenhalgh’s success lies in consistently exceeding customer demands. We collaborate with our customers to develop bespoke products, tailoring them to specific requirements. Whether it’s larger loaves, smaller rolls, or entirely new creations, we embrace innovation while staying true to our roots.
