THE STORY BEHIND THE BREAD
A family. An oven. A little obsession.
Meet the family behind The Old Malthouse Bakery, making bread and pastries on Mill Lane in Wimborne.
DAVID, ANN & STEFAN
Made by our family. For your table.
David Mirus, originally from Australia, leads the baking. Together with Ann and Stefan, he makes and bakes here as a family. On trading days, up goes the canopy and out comes the bread. It is a small Mill Lane ritual with a big local following.
Our story includes a pop-up at Wimborne Folk Festival and a building that has been a garage and a workshop. Today, it is a place for warm loaves, busy mornings and something sweet for the walk home.

FROM OUR OVEN
Simple pleasures. Proper baking.
Sourdough and baguettes. Sweet pastries and jam doughnuts. Something savoury for lunch. Our counter brings the bread and bakes together, with the wood-fired oven at the heart of it all.
Drop in, see what is ready, and take a little of the bakery home.
