A local bakery business is on the rise as it secures a new pop-up at a garden centre on the outskirts of the city.

Fresh Bread Micro Bakery was started two years ago by Linda Denes, who lives in Costessey, and she previously worked in recruitment.

She gave up her office job to follow her passion and is now a full-time self-employed baker.

She goes to events across the region and has regular pitches at farmers' markets in Beccles and Halesworth in Suffolk.

Last Friday, she visited Thorpe Plant Centre in Thorpe St Andrew for the first time with her bread and pastries and she almost sold out. 

Due to the success of the first pop-up, it will continue weekly on Fridays from 8am to 1pm and she takes cash and card.

The products include sourdough loaves, French-style baguettes, bread rolls, croissants in various flavours, cinnamon rolls, cheese straws and much more. 

She said: "Baking was my hobby for a long time and my family encouraged me to turn it into my job. 

"My products stand out because they are very fresh and tasty and also made with love."
