ABOUT US

We are Lindsay Wright and Nicola Hordern, bringing together our skills of baking, cooking, cheesemaking, milling, and teaching as Silva Bakery and Kitchen at Wakelyns.  

At Silva, we bake bread and pastries in the wood fired oven, available for pre-booked collection and via advertised events and outlets in the area.

Silva will also be keeping the Wakelyns Carport farm shop stocked with jams, preserves, and frozen ‘ready meals’. The Wakelyns Carport is fully stocked with a selection of jams and chutneys, pasta, and pasta sauces, pulses, plus cheese, yoghurt, and butter from our favourite suppliers. You can also find a selection of herbs and vegetables from Wakelyns Veg, delicious Wakelyns apple juice, willow basketry from Willow Phoenix, and art work from Kitty of Wakelyns Textiles.

Silva can also cater for private events either at Wakelyns or off-site by arrangement.

Silva’s menus are designed around the rich abundance of produce grown and reared at Wakelyns supplemented with ingredients from the best local and organic sources.

Nicola and Lindsay will be hosting occasional Friday evening opening between 5pm and 8pm. Come and collect your weekend bread supplies and other delicious bakery and food items (pizzas perhaps, or a stew from our wood oven); stay for a chat and a drink by the fire.

Here are some pictures from our summer 2025 launch event.
