About us
Quality, Freshness, & Service Guaranteed
When Akins Family Bakers opened in 1984 Barry & Anthony Akins were already experienced bakers. Gaining experience from various bakeries they worked in, including a well known baker in South Shields their Uncle Ernest who owned Hossner’s in Fredrick Street. Ernest Hossner gave them the enthusiasm and the passion, believing in the importance of traditional Artisan Craft baking methods in making products of a superior quality.
When Thomas Akins retired as an electrician, he along with his wife Sylvia saw the enthusiasm their sons Barry and Anthony had for baking and supported them in the early days to open Akins Family Bakers
The bakery quickly made a name for itself by selling a high quality range of freshly baked products direct from the shop at the front of the bakery. The shop developed so well, they also opened in Durham city as well as supplying many of the hotels & restaurants and coffee shops in the region.
At Akins Family Bakers the team of highly skilled Artisan Craft bakers only use the best ingredients available. Using traditional baking methods to make traditional & modern foods taking ideas from around the world
