Fabulous homemade bread and traybakes and gingerbread. Our favourite is his brown sourdough bread. It is so popular that you may have to order it the day before!
There are a few seats and you can get lovely soup or coffee and cake.
The joke in the name is that the baker has red hair which, in Scotland, we call "ginger". So he is a ginger man who makes bread and, sometimes, gingerbread :-)
