Hungry Ghost Bread

A great big HUGE thanks to the Hungry Ghost Bread staff for their hard work, dedication and trust. We wish you all the best...

Let us introduce you to the new owners of Hungry Ghost Bread! Sam Coates-Finke and Ana Maria Valle Bendezu. They are master bakers in their own right, with experience in high-end shops in Lima, Barcelona and Copenhagen. Come March, they will be launching their own line of bread and pastries under a new shop name (as yet to be determined). Sam grew up in Northampton, and they are both as committed to good food and community as we are. We couldn't be more pleased and more assured of a great outcome. Please help us welcome them (back!).
