Located in Grantham marketplace, Westgate Bakery is an artisan bakery and cafe. It is part of the Heritage Social Group – the team behind fine dining restaurant The Chubby Castor and its casual sister venue The Yard, both situated near Peterborough.
Open daily from 8am to 3pm (at the time of writing), Westgate Bakery serves a regularly changing menu of brunch dishes and baked goods. The kitchen produces everything on site – from freshly baked sourdough and pastries to seasonal cakes and lunch plates.
Menu highlights include shakshuka, eggs benedict, a breakfast grill, and a baker’s basket for two. You’ll also find French toast with berries, sourdough with avocado and chilli oil, and a breakfast bun packed with sausage, bacon, egg and truffle mayo. For lunch, expect inventive plates that change with the seasons.
The bakery is licensed, so Champagne, wine and cocktails can be enjoyed alongside your meal. Ingredients are carefully sourced, with a focus on quality and local suppliers.
The setting is as appealing as the menu – a historic Grantham building with an ancient vaulted ceiling downstairs, plus seating both upstairs and down. There are quieter corners perfect for working or reading.
If you’re in Grantham, Westgate Bakery is well worth a visit.
