Docker Bakery

Docker Bakery is an artisan sourdough bakery rooted in Folkestone, born in 2016 from a converted shipping container on the Harbour Arm. It has grown into a much-loved part of the local food scene, known for slow-fermented sourdough, pastries, and ever-changing seasonal bakes. At it’s heart is a simple philosophy: to handcraft bread that is not only incredibly delicious, but also nutritional and sustaining – in a way that benefits the community, customers, and the environment.

Today, Docker operates from a larger bakery and coffee counter at Park Farm, while continuing to serve wholesale customers across the region. Their products are available directly from the bakery in Folkestone, as well as retail sites in Ashford, and The Goods Shed in Canterbury. If you happen to fall within their delivery zone, you can even order online, and have their bread delivered straight to your door.

And if mastering sourdough wasn’t enough, Docker also brew their own range of craft beers – because once you understand fermentation, why stop at bread? Their Taproom and Brewery, Docker Brew Co., also located Folkestone, reflects the same craft-led approach, bringing together baking, brewing and community under one evolving brand.
