OUR STORY
FRESH, FAST & FRIENDLY

Bake Out was founded with a simple mission: to bring fresh, handmade bakes to the heart of the local community.

We believe great baking should be fast, friendly, and accessible, without compromising on quality. Rooted in family values, we’ve grown from a single shop into a thriving independent bakery, serving Sussex with passion.

2023 - Lancing Bakery

As demand grew, we needed a space that could keep up. We moved operations from Newhaven to Lancing, where we now have both a bakery and a retail shop under one roof.
