Jersey's traditional craft bakery - where it takes almost 24 hours to make a loaf of bread and you'll find nearly 20 variations of a French stick.
We are a family-run business which combines the age-old skills of bread making by hand with the techniques of a modern bakery. Our bakery at Rue Des Prés at Longueville, in the parish of St Saviour, is a hive of activity seven days a week producing the hundreds of products we supply to our own shop in St Helier's Victorian Central Market and supermarkets, corner shops, hotels, restaurants and pubs across the Island.
The skills passed down through generations of master European bakers and learned by our founder, Bob Dodge, as an apprentice with J Lyons and Co in 1930s' London, are employed to this day to ensure the quality and freshness of all Vienna Bakery products.
If something is worth doing then it's worth taking the time to do it well
Vienna Bakery was founded in 1960 by Bob Dodge when he acquired a traditional bakery in Georgetown originally designed by Henri Ori a well-known local French baker. Today, his son, David, close family and skilled staff from Jersey, France, Portugal, Ireland and Poland carry on the cherished traditions employed by Mr Dodge senior, Monsieur Ori and generations of some of Europe's finest bakers
Bob Dodge was born and grew up on the banks of the River Thames. A bright lad who overcame tough beginnings to be apprenticed to J Lyons and Co where the traditions of European Jewish baking were combined with the best of British at the National Bakery School. Following time spent working in Ceylon (Sri Lanka), he came to Jersey in the 1950s to manage the old Orviss Bakery in Beresford Street, St Helier.
In addition to being a master confectioner and baker, Mr Dodge was skilled in the art of Viennoiserie, the baking process developed in Vienna in the 19th century. In baking terms it refers the range of Viennese and British morning goods and in particular the croissant, rolls and Danish pastries. Hence the choice of name for his very own bakery!Categories: Bakers / Bakery, Cakes & Cake Makers.
