If you’re a Buchan Street regular, you’ve probably noticed a little less activity behind our beloved window. For over 5 years, we maximised (overmaxed?) all 150 square metres of working kitchen space, navigating unbelievably tight corners and one precariously narrow staircase to ensure our loaves and pastries make it to the shops and kitchens where they belong. But as the community in Christchurch continued to grow, so did the demand for what Grizzly offers. And now we’re thrilled to say hi from our new HQ.
Located in Phillipstown, our production space is now more than four times the size of our Buchan Street location, enabling us to keep pace with the growing demand and give our staff the much needed breathing room they’ve been missing (though you’ll catch the occasional grumble from a baker walking further to get to the fridge). More oven space, larger work surfaces, and less bumping into each other simply means that we can continue hand making all our baked goods to the standard you’ve grown to expect.
