Our connection with Queenstown dates back to the late ‘80s, the population was 5000, Wicked’s was one of the main watering holes and there were no traffic lights.   A lot has changed since then but our passion for this place hasn’t.  We have come and gone over the years with our careers in hospitality and banking, however the appeal of Queenstown as a place to live and bring up our family bought us back here.  We all love it.

As long term fans of the European Bakery we were excited when it came onto the market.  The ethos spoke to us – that of producing a consistently high quality product,  building and developing a team of artisan bakers who can deliver this,  and continuing with the exceptional reputation the European Bakery has been known for.   But moreover it is all “for the love of bread”.

It is a privilege to be the main supplier of fresh bread to cafes, restaurants and hotels in Queenstown Central Otago and some further afield. We do not take the challenge lightly and strive for the best possible product and customer service so we can support the quality and success of our local eateries.   When asked of our vision and strategy for the European Bakery we believe “a satisfied customer is the best business strategy of all”.
