About Us
The Beginnings
Charles and Angela Hodge arrived in Shetland to take over the Walls Bakery in 1988. At that time the bakery was housed in an old, converted, church. Conditions were cramped and, as a consequence, the product range was limited.
With the help of the local council, a new bakery was built in 1992, designed to the latest European hygiene standards by local architect Iain Skinner.
Product output and range subsequently increased, and Charles is now able to turn his attention to markets beyond the Shetland Isles. For the past 3 years he has been developing one of his best-selling products "Shetland Oaties", which are now available not only to UK outlets, but worldwide.
Baker's Rest Tearoom
In 2004 the Walls Bakery opened the Baker's Rest - a tearoom and tourist information point at the bakery in Walls. The cafe serves morning coffee, hot and cold snacks and afternoon tea
