Founded by Lesley Ward in 2013 the Horsham Gingerbread Bakehouse produces distinctively delicious gingerbreads and gluten-free biscuits.
Baked in small batches at a family bakery near Chichester in West Sussex, all of the gingerbreads and biscuits are made with the finest natural and locally sourced ingredients.
Anna, Lesley and Lucy
All of our products apart from the original recipe gingerbread are gluten-free.
We use linseed meal grown and processed by Durwin Banks and his family at Barns Green in West Sussex. It was this naturally gluten-free product, with its delicious nutty flavour, that inspired Lesley to create her range of biscuits. Determined not to use xanthan gum – far too modern – instead, we use black treacle or local honey, which make excellent replacements for the missing gluten.
The original gingerbread is made on separate days to the gluten-free products, and contains local wholemeal flour.
