Food Scene
HMB is a not for profit community supported artisan bakery on the Canal side in Slaithwaite. It consists of a flourishing bakery producing 2000 loaves of real bread and patisserie each week, and a vibrant contemporary café space. An Organic Garden supplies vegetables & herbs to the café. My favourites are the savoury Danish for lunch & the Chocolate Guiness cake. They serve Dark Woods Coffee and Suki teas. The café and bakery are open Tuesday-Sunday from 9.30am-4.30pm. Why not park the car near Marsden station & walk along the towpath to Slaithwaite, have lunch (12-2.30) shop in Slaithwaite & then return via the towpath or get the bus back to Marsden. http://thehandmadebakery.coop/contact/

Dark Woods are a Wholesale Coffee Roaster, based in the West Slaithwaite (between Marsden & Slaithwaite). Roasting and supplying some of the World's finest coffees, they have some fantastic single origin and single estate coffees and also a few different blends - all of which are seasonal and fresh.
