Lannan bakery in Stockbridge is set to expand in the autumn, with the opening of Lannan Pantry – a standalone retail and events space.

The Pantry will have its own entrance on Hamilton Place, next to the bakery, and will offer quality, seasonal produce, all of which is used at the bakery, eliminating waste. The produce will change regularly, reflecting the ingredients used by Lannan’s bakers, from forced Yorkshire rhubarb early in the year, to Scottish asparagus in spring.

As well as fresh fruit and vegetables, customers will also be able to buy other grocery staples, including local, free-range eggs, fresh meat and butter. Bread from the bakery will be available too, along with dips, fresh pasta and sauces made in-house by Lannan’s kitchen team. Charcuterie and cheese – housed in a traditional, French cheese fridge – will be on offer, with mortadella, guanciale and prosciutto sliced to order.

For the Pantry, the Lannan kitchen has expanded to include an in-house butchery, where the team will produce sausages and bacon, as well as making seasonal pastry specials from pâté en croûte to sausage rolls, pork pies and terrines. Lannan Pantry will also feature a wine cellar, offering a curated selection of natural and biodynamic wines, as well as ciders and beers.

Lannan-branded homeware and accessories will be for sale at the Pantry too, such as linen aprons, organic-cotton tote bags, jackets and tea towels. Handmade mugs, coffee cups and plates made exclusively for Lannan by Glasgow-based Claire Henry Ceramics will be available as well.

While Lannan Pantry won’t stock pastries and cakes from the bakery, it will operate as the collection point for bakery pre-orders, which will launch when the Pantry opens. Pre-orders will go live a week in advance at the bakery, for collection the following week, offering guests the opportunity to buy their favourite viennoiserie ahead of time.

The interiors of the Pantry have been designed to reflect owner Darcie Maher’s travels in France. The décor will feature bespoke joinery and reclaimed French floor tiles, with a large farmhouse table providing a centrepiece to the room and showcasing the produce on offer.

The space will also be used for events, such as guest-chef demonstrations and workshops.

Commenting on the launch, Darcie said: “We wanted to expand our offering beyond pastry, bringing the wonderful produce that we use in our products and pastries to our customers’ kitchens.

"The Pantry will be for customers, but it’ll also support our kitchen and bakery - it will quite literally be our pantry, allowing us to take a zero-waste approach to both areas. We can’t wait to welcome our customers into the new space.”

Lannan Pantry will be open from 9am to 4pm, Tuesday to Sunday.
