Born from humble beginnings - first in a home kitchen, then in a 40ft steel freight container in east London, The Dusty Knuckle is now a renowned bakery and buzzing café that was founded by three friends who had a big idea to make London's food industry about so much more than just meals.

With an epic menu, and roving delivery milk float-turned-bread mobile stocked full of the bakery's many treats, The Dusty Knuckle now helps young people to find meaningful employment through their social enterprise work. They believe that hard graft, togetherness and integrity make for the most delicious food and exciting eating experiences. Read their first book and see what it's all about!
