Southport’s award-winning Farmhouse Kitchen is in the running for Merseyside Bakery of the Year
Already considered a nightmare for joinery experts given their bulging shelves filled with awards, The Farmhouse Kitchen is hoping to add yet another accolade to its growing collection after being shortlisted for Bakery of the Year at the 2026 Merseyside My Local Awards.
The popular family-run business, headed up by mother and son duo Rob and Terri Marshall, is now calling on loyal customers to get behind them as public voting gets underway.
Rob said: “I’m glad that the vote is a public one as we don’t have any time to vote for ourselves as we’re too busy putting together our amazing Christmas hampers.
“They’re on sale now ahead of the festive period and we try our best to accommodate an ever growing demand for the hampers. There are very few Christmas dinner tables left in Southport without a hamper come December 25th!”

Earlier this year, Rob and Terri were crowned Small Producer Champions at the prestigious British Pie Awards in Melton Mowbray, seeing off competition from some of the best pie makers across the UK.
The family also celebrated success when Terri’s famous ‘Lord Bear’s Pudding Pie’ was named the best dessert pie in Britain.
The My Local Awards recognise outstanding independent businesses across Merseyside, with members of the public invited to vote for their favourites.
With shops on Old Park Lane in Southport and Station Road in Ainsdale, alongside sister venue The Grazing Lounge on Bold Street, the Marshall family have built a loyal following thanks to their inventive recipes, traditional baking and commitment to quality.
Voting is free and supporters can cast their vote online, with a verification code required to confirm each entry.
