About Big River Bakery - The Home of the Stottie
We are Big River Bakery based in Shieldfield - Newcastle - the home of the Stottie – and we believe we can change the world one stottie at a time but need your help.
We are a commercial bakery - shop - cafe and training space- but we do so much more.
We work in the wider community with local businesses, community and charities to deliver our social value into the community.
All projects are currently funded by ourselves and through the generosity of our customers. We are hoping to extend our services for 2025
