About Varley Lake
So Sweet, So Good, Sure to Bring Smiles
Varley Lake began in 2022 as a passionate pursuit of perfection in the art of baking. Founded by Alice Florence Heston, whose family’s baking traditions stretch back generations, our company combines time-honored techniques with innovative approaches to create exceptional bread, cakes, and confectionery. What started in Alice’s home kitchen has grown into our beloved bakery in Northwest London, where we still mix, knead, and bake everything by hand. We believe that quality ingredients, patient processes, and genuine care create not just delicious baked goods, but meaningful connections around the table. At Varley Lake, every loaf, cake, and sweet treat carries with it our commitment to craftsmanship and our joy in feeding the community we love.
