About Cherrytree Bakery
Cherrytree Bakery is a Lancashire-based artisan bakery founded in 1984 by executive chair Gary Entwistle, now producing an impressive 50 million sweet treats every year from their Burnley headquarters. The privately-owned company has grown from humble beginnings to become a major supplier of muffins, brownies, and handmade traybakes to coffee shops, retailers, and restaurant chains across the UK, Europe, and three continents. The bakery's expansion was driven by the coffee shop boom, leading to a 12-year partnership with Costa Coffee—meaning many of the muffins and traybakes enjoyed in Costa stores were baked in Burnley. Cherrytree Bakery now employs 120 staff at their Billington Road facility and has expanded into neighbouring units to meet growing demand. Cherrytree Bakery produces several own-brand ranges for major UK supermarkets. Their partnership with Asda began in 1997, and they serve as the national supplier of Chorley Cakes—a traditional Lancashire currant cake—stocked in Asda stores nationwide. The bakery's products are also available at Aldi, with Chorley Cakes priced around £1.29-£1.40 for a 4-pack. From award-winning indulgent muffins to traditional British bakes, Cherrytree Bakery combines Lancashire baking heritage with modern production capabilities. Their commitment to quality ingredients and artisan techniques has made them a trusted partner for some of the UK's biggest food retailers and coffee chains.
