Oatcake Shop
In August 2019, Jason opened a newly fitted out shop in the heart of the Potteries, in Broad Street, Hanley. But his passion for oatcakes began many years before that, helping in his mother’s oatcake shop as a teenager before pursuing higher education. He returned a few years later, no less passionate - but with a graduate degree to work on his oatcakes again. Some memorable times have followed, from filming for Antiques Road Trip with James Braxton, to the shop being briefly opened on the morning of Jason’s wedding to serve our gluten-free customers!
We strongly believe in keeping the traditional skills of oatcake baking alive - being one of the few shops to still make all of their products by hand. Plain and filled oatcakes are available to take away in the shop. In addition to posting them out UK wide for those looking for a taste of home.
Due to increasing demand for our handmade traditional oatcakes, we have expanded our baking area by having two larger traditional gas baxtons installed. The baxtons we currently use were sourced from The Hole In The Wall oatcake shop, an iconic Hanley business that closed its doors in 2012 and is still fondly remembered across Stoke-On-Trent. We have been lucky enough to welcome the former owners, Glenn and Sue back to the shop on occasion to bake their own oatcakes on the very same baxtons they used for 30 years.
We look forward to welcoming you to our shop

Local Area
Jason’s passion for oatcakes is only exceeded by his passion for the local area and it’s history. He’s always keen to talk about the city’s history and recommend activities and locations when we meet someone visiting the city for the first time!
Stoke-On-Trent is steeped in industrial history, and is internationally recognised for its pottery heritage. The oatcake shop is just 5 minutes walk from our largest museum in the Hanley city centre - The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery. You can learn more about the industry that was powered by oatcakes!
Other local attractions include: Middleport Pottery, Gladstone Pottery- home of TV’s The Great Pottery Throw Down, Etruria Industrial Museum, Emma Bridgewater ceramics (where you can paint your own pottery) and Josiah Wedgwood & Sons at Barlaston. The Regent Theatre and Victoria Hall are also near by, as well as local live music venues, The Sugarmill and The Underground.
