It was bought from two Polish brothers by Stefan Najduch in 1985.
Operations The shop is busy both day and night, as the baking is done during the night. It uses nine tonnes of flour per week.
As of 2007, Barbakan baked more than 45 types of bread each day.
In 2026 it had a turnover of £2.3 million a year but wrote to Andy Burnham asking for help with the increasing costs of running the business.
