A long established family business which has grown successfully over fifty years, Greenhalgh’s is a craft bakery. Our produce is more than made, it is crafted. The whole enterprise is testimony to the master craftsman who was self-taught. He applied his considerable energy and business talent to become the inspiration and driving force that created Greenhalgh’s into the family firm which it is today.That craftsman was Allan Smart (1924 – 2003). Allan’s love of baking was nurtured in his own home and he often spoke about how he learnt his initial skills by watching his mother performing huge weekly bakes in the back kitchen of a house on Tudor Avenue, Bolton.A remarkable man of incredible wisdom and common sense, he left school at the age of 14 and embarked on a lifetime of learning.He had an all-consuming passion for good food and a zero tolerance of anything careless or slipshod.
