A beloved family-run bakery which has served up tasty treats from its home on the Slough Trading Estate has closed.
Priestley Bakers, based in Yarmouth Road, confirmed it has ceased trading due to increased costs and the need to focus on the health and recovery of its head baker.
The company announced on its Facebook page: “It is with deep regret that we inform you that a decision has been made at Priestley Bakers Ltd to cease trading as of February 4.
“The decision was made due to increased rent, rates, electric, wage costs, the ever increasing ingredient costs and the need for the owners to put their full focus into the health and recovery of one of the co-founders, the head baker and the brains behind the Priestley Bakers dream.”
The statement added: “We would like to thank each and every one of our staff and our valued customers.
“We have loved your stories, enjoyed your highs and sympathised with your lows.
“We have enjoyed the laughter we have shared and appreciated your custom from start to finish.”
The business provided freshly baked goods, including donuts, bread, rolls and sandwiches and its main site was located at 121 Yarmouth Road in Slough.
The company would also hold a market in Peascod Street in Windsor on every third weekend of the month.
