What Slattery is known for
Bernard and Margaret Slattery opened this Whitefield bakery in 1967; it is now run by the third generation, still baking fresh bread and hand-piped celebration cakes on the premises alongside handmade chocolates. The ground-floor shop sells confectionery and build-your-own chocolate bars, while the upstairs Masons dining room serves breakfast through afternoon tea.
Bernard and Margaret Slattery opened their Whitefield bakery in 1967; more than half a century later it remains family-run, now in its third generation. The business grew into a combined bakery and chocolatier, producing fresh bread daily alongside hand-piped celebration cakes and handmade chocolates, all made on the premises rather than bought in.
The ground-floor shop sells that full range, confectionery, gift hampers and build-your-own chocolate bar kits, while upstairs, the Masons dining room serves breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea in the same historic Whitefield building the family has occupied since the business began. Slattery describes itself as award-winning, though it does not itemize which awards on its site.
The chocolate side of the business is seasonal in practice: during warm weather the bakery holds internet chocolate orders rather than risk shipping products that could melt in transit, a small operational detail that underscores how much of what Slattery sells is still made and handled by hand rather than mass-produced.
