Since 1973

About Us

Cavendish Bakery opened in 1973 as Saffron Patisserie in Grove Road, Eastbourne, by patissier and former Bondolfi manager Cliff Bennett. The bakery is now owned by his son Mark, a third generation baker and confectioner.

Mark completed an apprenticeship with Brighton Technical College, winning Student of the Year for three years running and the prestigious, industry-renowned Renshaw Cup for excellence.

Now in its 49th year, the bakery has a longstanding reputation for its products and service in the town. We bake daily at our premises in Eastbourne and continue to follow traditional recipes.

We’re also proud to display the top rating of ‘5 – Very Good Hygiene Standards’ under the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme and have done so since the scheme’s inception.
