Ross bakery makes the rolls for Dreambird (that I love) they’re more of a bready bread. 5 minutes ago, WTF said: neither ross or noa has bread that can pass as fresh after 48 hrs , ok if you want to live of sourdough toast i suppose. Many of the GMP don't need (and simply can't afford) artisan bread, they need utility bread. Bread that you can buy in your big shop and it will last 5 - 7 days for childrens sandwiches, toast - that kind of thing. And they need it at <~£1.75 Fancy bread is nice and everything, but bread can also just be a no nonsense staple food. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I pity the poor bakery workers who are stocking up the freezers at RB knowing they'll be out of a job while RB trade another few weeks!!! Is redundancy available for them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely be easy enough just to ship in a load of baps from the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Robbos probably already supply most of the Hamburger baps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
