🎉 A huge congratulations to Baked by Sweet Tooth on opening their very own shop on Albert Road!

Baked by Sweet Tooth were a fantastic part of Southsea Food Festival, with a busy stall and an appearance on the Kitchen Stage, sharing their story and passion for baking with festival visitors.

More recently, we had the pleasure of visiting their brand-new shop and seeing first-hand how far the business has come. It's been incredible to watch their growth through Portsmouth Enterprise Centres, their success at Gunwharf Quays, and now this exciting new chapter.

We're proud to have supported them on their journey and wish the team every success in their new home. 🍰👏

This year's festival featured a record 140 food and drink businesses, with more than a third based right here in Portsmouth. From street food favourites to local producers, the event showcased the incredible talent, creativity and hospitality our city has to offer.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, traded, performed or helped make the festival happen. Your support continues to make Southsea Food Festival one of the South Coast's favourite food events and a fantastic celebration of Portsmouth ❤️
