The Village Bakery has traded on Main Street in Markethill since 1984, making it a fixture in this small County Armagh town for more than forty years. It bakes bread, traybakes, pastries, scones and cakes on the premises, selling directly over the counter and supplying other outlets across the area. As a single-shop, family-run bakery rather than a plant bakery or chain, it produces to order for the town and surrounding countryside, and remains the main bakery in Markethill. The shop suits a morning bread-and-scone run or picking up traybakes and celebration cakes, and sits among the independent traders on the main street. It is distinct from the town's larger gift-and-department retailers, focusing on baking. Opening is daytime, Monday to Saturday, following the rhythm of a working bakery with fresh goods out earlier in the day.
