The Butler’s
Pantry
“Our breads like everything we make in our kitchens in The
Butler’s Pantry are made the old fashioned way. There are no additives, no
preservatives, no chemicals, most of all no rush!
Our Team of artisan bakers led by Fabrice Hergaux bake seven nights a week while most of us sleep. Their unique skill and pride is seen every day on the bread shelves of our shops. So no time for ‘loafing’ around, you best shop early before our breads sell out.”
