• Four Anjels

  Four Anjels:

  (close)

  Having moved to the Cotswolds following a successful career in the city, Harry Roberston soon found the lure of running a small bakery far more appealing than retirement.

  Taken with the delicious homemade taste of the biscuits produced by Master Baker Geoff and his daughter Lorraine, Harry bought into the business. From small beginnings, Four Anjels now sells nationally, picking up several awards for its quality food. The range has expanded, reflecting the popularity and growth, to include cakes alongside the original biscuits.

  After seeing how the Master Baker baked his biscuit with so much love and attention, the company changed from its original name, Columbine Cakes’ bakery, to Four Anjels: named in honour of the Master Baker’s four granddaughters.
