London bakery nerd alert - one of the world's best bakers is coming to town. Richard Hart hails from London but made his name far from home having headed up the famous Tartine in San Francisco for seven years before co-founding Copenhagen bakery Hart Bagery with none other than René Redzepi of Noma. Now he's signed up to be the executive baker and creative director at Claridge's Bakery.
The hotel's new bakery is going to be located at the rear on Brook's Mews, alongside the current ArtSpace Cafe. British bakes will be the focus here; think bloomers, jam and custard tarts and iced fingers. It'll also make bread and cakes both for use in the hotel and for general bakery customers.
"My goal is to celebrate timeless British baked favourites in one of the most notable British institutions," said Richard. Expect this to be all over your Instagram feed when it opens.
