Birds Bakery
A Bakery that all started by 3 brothers in 1919. We have shops all around the East Midlands and offer home delivery via Birds by Post! Visit our website now...
Birds was founded by three brothers; Frank, Thomas and Reginald Bird in 1919. The company was later passed on to their sons, the last of the founder members passing away in 1951. Paul Bird, the second generation pioneer, expanded the company considerably while maintaining the quality of our products. Lesley Bird now sits at the helm of the business, maintaining its family-owned, Derbsyhire-based m

Exciting news: our NEW Cinnamon Bun joins our flock from today!
This recipe has been specially created by one of our master bakers - rich buttery pastry paired with a sweet cinnamon filling, and topped with fondant glaze.
Add a freshly brewed coffee and you've got the perfect takeaway breakfast.
Our NEW Cinnamon Buns will be available in shops from tomorrow!
They have been specially created by one of our master bakers, with 72 layers of buttery flaky pastry- a hybrid between a croissant and a Danish pastry.
They are then filled with our bespoke cinnamon filling, hand-rolled and cut to size. Once they've cooled after baking, they are dipped in warm fondant to create the sweet glaze on top.
We cannot wait for you to try them!
There's a bun in the oven... Coming Thursday 30th May.

Explore Derby with us! 💚 Recently the papers branded Derby as the worst city in the UK. But we disagree (and we think The Telegraph do too)...
Our city has it all, from grand historical architecture, breathtaking countryside walks, museums showcasing Derby makers, independent shops, amazing street food, open mic nights, and community projects. The list is truly endless!
Though on the surface we may not be able compete with the likes of Liverpool or London, digging deeper will show that we have a community like no other- and this is what makes our city amazing.
WE LOVE DERBY! 💚

Happy National Doughnut Week! 🍩 Here's everything you need to know:
National Doughnut Week is taking place from Saturday 18th until Sunday 26th May. Set up in 1992 by Dunns Bakery, it gives bakeries like ours the chance to support The Children's Trust, the UK's leading charity for children with brain injury.
For the occasion, we present our special edition Double Chocolate Doughnut, complete with a crème pat filling and hand decorated with silky chocolate fondant, Belgian white chocolate spinning and marbled chocolate curls!
We'll be donating 25p from every Double Chocolate Doughnut sold this week, and 20p from all our other doughnuts- jam, cream and caramel.
We’ve so far been able to donate more than £130,000 to The Children’s Trust. These donations go directly to supporting children with rehabilitation, therapy, care and education services, to help them live the best life they possibly can.
We hope you'll join us in helping to turn our doughnuts into donations this year! 💚

Meet Sarah - our human calculator and go-to numbers person.
It’s been just over 3 years since Sarah has joined our flock. Growing up, her dad ran a bakery and she would always look forward to their fresh Battenburg.
Her daily tasks include sifting through mountains of sales data and letting us all know how many doughnuts we need to make. Sarah’s favourite part of working at Birds is sharing an office with our marketing manager...!
And if she could only eat one product from Birds for the rest of her life, it would be a Swiss bun.
