Simon said, “We are advocating traditional baking techniques that have been around for hundreds of years, as well as low-intervention wine-making.

Come for the sweets, stay for the vines. The Baker & The Bottleman is ready to introduce the city’s first modern bakehouse with sustainability at its heart, a quintessential taste of British bakes with a Simon Rogan twist.
