The Flat Baker

on 2026-01-20 2026-01-20

The Flat Baker

A hospitality interior design project for the world-famous Flat Baker (well, almost), a bakery whose social media footprint spans the globe. The concept was to amalgamate a full working bakery and café into a former public house

Location:

Ancoats, Manchester

Sector:

Hospitality

Date:

December 2025

The Flat Baker

We were invited to bring our hospitality interior design expertise to convert the building into a working bakery & cafe. Select Interiors Creators + Makers we are one of the leading hospitality fit-out companies in Manchester, and were humbled and grateful for the opportunity

Overview

Creating a bakery from a pub had a few constraints. There was insufficient power to the premises, and the structural floor to the 1^st floor was not substantial enough to take the imposed structural load of the additional bakery equipment and machinery

Many hospitality interior design projects come with similar challenges to convert spaces with a variety of previous uses, into something functional and beautiful

Scope of Works

The bakery and café conversion and refurbishment involved a full strip-out and reconfiguration of the interior. Our Creators + Makers team managed every stage of the commercial fit-out, including:

Demolition
Structural Works
Partitioning
Mechanical, electrical and HVAC installations
Structured data and lighting systems
Bespoke & general joinery
Decoration throughout with brand-aligned finishes
LVT flooring and safety flooring
Branded signage and wayfinding
Bespoke hand painted Murals
Full Commercial Kitchen and Bakery
Hygienic SSS & UPVC panelling

Interior Design

From the initial brief, our hospitality interior design team approached this project with a focus on functionality with flair and originality. The café was designed for both takeaway, deliveries and for ‘sit in’ customers that want to relax with a craft coffee and some patisserie, a sandwich or light lunch.

The bespoke interior design also reflected the client’s personality and Brazilian culture, incorporating colours, finishes and bespoke murals.

The Fit-Out

Located in the Uber cool Ancoats, this commercial bakery and cafe fit-out was managed from concept to completion by the Select Interiors Creators + Makers team. Technical services like HVAC, extracts, ventilation, lighting and electrical to the finishes, and workshop joinery we coordinated every trade from our in-house

All bespoke joinery was crafted at our Manchester workshop, allowing us to maintain quality control and quick turnrounds. Our hands-on approach meant the founders Deborah & Mateo could visit and approve finishes and fittings before ordering and installation

As an experienced hospitality interior design team, we understand that a fit-out is more than just furniture and flooring: it’s about creating spaces that work. That’s exactly what we delivered.

Outcome

The Flat Baker now operates from a vibrant, functional unit that supports the commercial bakery and café. The vibrant mix of finishes, flooring, decoration, lighting and murals provides a ‘craft experience & feel’

For Select Interiors, it’s another successful collaboration with a new client that was a referral from a long-standing customer. We wish Deborah & Mateo every success with their venture, The Flat Baker

Carl's thoughts

“The ‘proof they say is in the pudding’, the bakery and café have been a huge success, people were queuing out of the door and round the corner when it first opened. It’s popularity is in part due to the dynamism and creativity of the baker team, their huge social media footprint and the amalgamation of production and sales in the café”

July 2024

Big Bakes Manchester

The Big Bakes Manchester hospitality interior design project is an ambitious spin-off of the popular Bake-Off TV series, translating its baking-focused creative energy into an immersive hospitality venue & experience. The project involved transforming a raw shell space into a flagship northern location. The youthful team & founders behind the concept have 2 venues in London and 1 in Birmingham. Big Bakes aims to create 8-10 more locations nationwide, tapping into the growing enthusiasm for interactive, experience-based leisure venues.

Design Concept and Inspiration

The building’s distinctive architecture, featuring a steel cross-bracing and diagrid façade, evokes comparisons to London’s iconic Gherkin, albeit with a more geometric vernacular. The unique structure provides a modern, industrial backdrop for the interior’s playful, creative interior, designed by the award-winning Ellis Design Studio. Known for their expertise in hospitality interiors, Ellis Design Studio worked closely with Select Interiors Creators + Makers to transform the bare concrete, glass, and steel shell into a vibrant, engaging environment conducive to both professional and amateur bakers.

Scope of Works

This hospitality interior design project’s scope encompassed both Cat A (basic building finishes) and Cat B (interior fit-out) works, all completed within a tight 14-week programme from the moment of order to handover, including the procurement of all materials and fixtures, computer access flooring, installation of access floors for ease of cabling and technology integration, mechanical, ventilation, plumbing, electrical, extract, fire strategy, lighting, steel mezzanine & Staircase, Structural addition to increase floor space and provide an elevated dining / training and events space, bespoke joinery, resin radial bar tops, custom bars, shelving, displays, and wainscot cladding, Amtico acoustic flooring hexagonal design with feature strips, hexagonal banquette seating with central tree feature, commercial kitchen & a baking marquee, fully fitted bake stations designed for a hands-on experience, central to the concept of Big Bakes.

Key Challenges

A constricted programme – The 14-week timeline from start to handover demanded efficient project management and coordination across trades. Building Control: The introduction of new regulations for mezzanine floors required adaptive design and compliance strategies. Logistics and waste management: Managing the delivery and installation of a significant volume of materials, fixtures, and fittings within a confined urban space while minimising waste and ensuring sustainability.

Vision and Mission

Big Bakes founders Adam and Eloise’s mission is to share the joy of baking with all. They envision the venue as more than just a baking space – it’s an experience designed to make baking accessible and fun for everyone, whether you’re a seasoned baker or a complete novice.

The Big Bakes fitted out by Select Interiors Ltd Creators + Makers is a testament to the power of collaboration, innovative design, and fluid project management. The transformation of a raw, industrial space into an immersive, functional, and enjoyable environment was challenging & rewarding. The Big Bakes Team have plans to expand further across the UK, & the US. Big Bakes is set to become a key player in the interactive leisure sector, offering people the chance to experience the joy of baking in a unique, engaging setting.

Carl's thoughts

“We believe that memorable hospitality design is about shaping experiences: atmosphere, flow, sensory detail, technical precision. Big Bakes is a vivid example of how those elements combine to invite people in, stay longer and connect.”

Interior Design

Jolie Studio’s vision was translated into timeless interiors that offer a sense of luxury and sophistication.

The design language is subtle yet luxurious, mixing heritage features like fireplaces and exposed stone with contemporary finishes and smart space planning.

The interiors now reflect the prestige of the postcode, Chipping Campden, one of the UK’s most exclusive areas, making Charingworth Manor one of the finest countryside wedding venues in the country.

The Hospitality Fit Out

Select Interiors’ commercial interior designers managed the entire programme, coordinating trades and approvals to meet the tight schedule. By leveraging our experience with commercial fit outs in Manchester and nationwide, we delivered on time without compromising on quality or detail.

All works were completed to the highest standard, ensuring both the venue’s style, practicality and ability to meet compliance were considered: a hallmark of our approach to hospitality spaces.

Outcome

Charingworth Manor now stands as a benchmark for sensitive restorations and elegant design in the hospitality sector. Guests enjoy a comfortable space full of character, while the operations team benefits from an efficient, high-performing environment.

From the bar to the bridal suite, every detail supports the experience of luxury, heritage, and celebration.
