Kara is the name of our Food Service brand, which takes products from the Kara Bakery itself, based in Whitefield in Manchester, from across the Finsbury Food Group and from other selected suppliers in the UK and Europe. These products are sold through a sophisticated national supply-chain network to over 350 food wholesalers, pub, hotel and restaurant chains, and travel and leisure sites. Its product portfolio has expanded rapidly, and now offers a wide range of quality sweet and savoury bakery products, including both gourmet butter and Vegan brioche buns, traditional sliced bread, doughballs, muffins, doughnuts and artisan bakery products.

The Kara Bakery can bake over 1 million baps and burger buns every day and produces frozen doughballs in a newly-built facility.
