Mhor Bread

The bakery and tearoom on Callander's Main Street, owned by the Monachyle Mhor family, with hand-made sourdough and giant meringues.

Welcome

Mhor Bread is the bakery and tearoom on Callander's Main Street, behind a stone shopfront with its name in tall letters and a hanging sign for the tearoom.

There has been a bakery on this site for more than a hundred years, and since 2007 it has belonged to the Lewis family, who also own the Monachyle Mhor hotel up in Balquhidder.

The bread is made by hand every day, kept simple: Scottish-milled flour, water and salt, with a slow 48-hour fermentation for the sourdough. Step inside and the long glass counter is full of loaves, cakes, pastries, pies and sausage rolls, with shelves of jars and bottles behind, and giant meringues stacked on a dresser. Take something away for a picnic or a walk, or sit in the tearoom for lunch. The bakers also take their bread to markets and shows through the year. It opens every day, from 8am to 5pm.
