Proven Goods Co

Please note we’ll be **CLOSED** this Sunday 8th September!

It’s Great North Run Day which, over the past couple of years, has been super quiet for us at the bakery. So weighing up running costs of the day vs people coming to visit, we’ve decided to take the opportunity for a rare Sunday off!

So if you are looking to try out the new menu this weekend make sure to pop by today (Friday 6th) or tomorrow (Saturday 7th). Open as usual the rest of September!

Thank you!

Open today 10am-3pm with big doughnuts and lots of 💞🍩🍓🌈🦄 M I N I S 💞🦄🌈🍓🍩 too!

Plus we also have Strawberry, Gooseberry & White Chocolate Doughnut-Bostock being baked for today.

Not forgetting every Sunday you can also find a small selection of the menu over

See you soon! 🤞🏻 👋🏻
