We are Fera
We are an artisan bakery based in East Belfast. We specialise in viennoiserie pastries & sourdough
We are built around the ethos of Fera - wild, beast. Everything we make contains wild yeast known as a sourdough culture, or is wild by design; unrestrained and exciting. When our sourdough culture was started back in 2012 it was named Beastie.
All of our pastries are hand made following a three day process to enhance flavour and texture. Our menu changes with the seasons and with what our bakers are inspired by. You will always find some of our classics on our counter such as our croissant, custard tarts and cinnamon buns.
Our breads are made using natural ingredients; flour, water, salt and sourdough culture. We follow a slow fermentation process to give optimal flavour and character.

BAKER
Always one to bring a smile to the team’s face, sometimes on purpose but mostly not, Peter has developed some fantastic skills since he joined the team. Outside of the bakery he somehow still finds time to work a few evenings as a chef and raise a young family.
