Welcome

On North Berwick's High Street, there is often a queue outside Bostock.

This artisan bakery makes everything by hand and from scratch, and bakes it fresh each morning for the bakery counters inside.

The breads are slow-fermented sourdoughs, and the pastries are in the French style: croissants, buns and viennoiserie, alongside cakes, tarts and savoury bakes filled with meat, fruit and vegetables from local suppliers. The hazelnut croissant has its admirers. There are shelves of good things from small Scottish and British makers too, from honey and chocolate to coffee beans, pickles and hot sauce.

There is a little seating among the bustle of the bakery, though it fills quickly at busy times, so many people take their pastries down to the beach. Bostock has a second cafe at East Linton, with an open kitchen where you can watch the bakers.

The Daily for 11 November, from Scotland with love. The broken stone walls of a lochside castle rise from a small tree-covered island, autumn foliage glowing orange against the dark water and forested hillside beyond.
