Norfolk, Downham Market - Bakery
Former Pophams head baker Dan Frazer and Downham Market local Lucy Peacock have been delighting residents since setting up shop on the Market Place in 2024. Pophams fans might recognise the maple-bacon swirls, the rosemary sea salt twists and the seasonal Danishes, but there's plenty more to intrigue and delight – including damson iced buns, Hawaiian pain suisse and sourdough loaves spiked with spelt, honey and oats. If you’ve waited in the line snaking out onto the street, a warm welcome awaits – so we suggest grabbing a seat at the communal table to savour it all.
