Stephens Bakery, one of West Fife's oldest businesses, has been named the UK’s best craft bakery.

Famous for its award-winning steak bridies and morning rolls, the family business scooped the highest accolade in the Craft Bakery Business category at this year’s Baking Industry Awards.

Stephen’s Bakery was selected following a robust judging process looking at all aspects of its business, with tastings and site visits from an independent panel of experts from across the baking industry.

The Baking Industry Awards are entered by businesses large and small from across the UK, and a ceremony took place in London with award being presented by Strictly Come Dancing star Craig Revel Horwood.

Stephens Bakery is fourth-generation family business headquartered in Camdean and has been making goodies for over 140 years. It employs 240 people across its 13 retail shops and three snack delivery vehicles, including Scotland’s first ever drive-thru bakery in Dunfermline.

Talia Sarafilovic, director of Stephens Bakery, comments on the win: “This award is testament to the hard work and commitment of our team, day in day out, especially through the past 18 months which have been a challenge for every business.

“We’re particularly proud it recognises the craftsmanship that goes into our products.

"As a family-owned business, while we are forward thinking, we have always wanted to ensure that traditional techniques remain at the heart of what we do as we have grown over the years.

"We hope that news of our win will encourage more people to visit our outlets and stop for a Stephens.”
