E5 Bakehouse is a sourdough baker operating from a railway arch in Hackney since 2010. Founded after owner Ben trained in artisan bread-making, the bakery built its reputation on wood-fired clay oven baking, using off-cuts from local carpenters as fuel. The business has expanded to offer lunches, coffee, hot drinks and cakes alongside bread. Located by London Fields station with wheelchair accessibility, E5 Bakehouse sources local ingredients grown in ecological systems and works with farmers aligned to sustainable farming practices. Three locations operate across East London, including Poplar Bakehouse and a storehouse at V&A East.
