What started with a classic Mini, a hand-built pizza oven and a passion for cooking over fire has grown into one of Birmingham's most loved independent food businesses.
Founder Lee Desanges first made his name serving unforgettable street food from a converted Mini before winning Best Street Food Trader at the British Street Food Awards in 2016. A year later, after an unforgettable journey across Europe, he was crowned Best Street Food in Europe in Berlin.
Today, that same passion for quality, flavour and craftsmanship lives on in every loaf, pastry and bake that comes out of our bakery.
From our award-winning beginnings to opening restaurants, cafés and our bakery, one thing has never changed—our commitment to making exceptional food using great ingredients and traditional techniques.
Whether you're picking up your morning pastries, artisan bread or something sweet for later, everything is baked fresh with the same attention to detail that put Baked in Brick on the map.
Fresh daily. Made by hand. Full of flavour.
In 2017, Lee set off for the European Street Food Awards in a converted VW LT28.
After breakdowns, police stops and plenty of unexpected challenges, he finally arrived in Berlin ready to cook. Two days later he walked away with Best Main Course and the overall title of Best Street Food in Europe.
It's a story that perfectly captures the spirit behind Baked in Brick—determination, creativity and never compromising on quality.
