Thoughtfully sourced
The ingredients matter as much as the finished bake. Supporting local producers and championing regenerative farming are central to the bakery Faye is building.
As Batch takes shape, the aim is to build lasting relationships with suppliers who care about how their ingredients are grown and produced. Sourcing will be thoughtful and transparent, with room to learn, adapt and make better choices as the bakery develops.
A new chapter in the North East
Batch is preparing to supply cafés, restaurants and independent shops across Teesside & North East Yorkshire, alongside appearances at local markets and a range of postal bakes.
The ambition is to build a bakery rooted in its community, where relationships with customers, producers and fellow independent businesses are as carefully nurtured as the baking itself.
Whether you’re looking for something for your café counter, picking up a loaf at a market or sending a box of bakes to someone you love, we look forward to sharing Batch with you.
The Batch Story
Batch is an independent micro-bakery in Middlesbrough, founded by pastry chef Faye Weatherburn. After 15 years in London, with a career spanning restaurant kitchens and artisan bakeries, Faye moved north to create a bakery shaped by her own approach to food.
Her experience includes working in the pastry kitchens of The Ritz hotel London, leading pastry teams and co-founding a London bakery. Each chapter helped shape the baking behind Batch: attention to detail, respect for ingredients and a love of developing flavours that bring something a little unexpected to familiar favourites.
Small batches, made with care
Batch is being built around a simple idea: good baking deserves time and attention. Working in small batches allows care at every stage, from developing a recipe and shaping dough to the finishing touches before a bake leaves the kitchen.
The range will bring together sourdough bread, sweet and savoury buns, focaccia, cookies and seasonal cakes. Expect familiar favourites alongside changing flavours that make the most of the season, with quality always taking priority over scale.
