Two bakeries in Norfolk have been praised by industry experts after winning national awards.
The Baking Industry Awards handed The Old Store in Snettisham its Customer Service Award while Two Magpies Bakery won Employer of the Year.
The Old Store's success comes just 16 months after it opened.
The judges said: "Despite working in a busy shop, the front of house team tends to be well organised and relaxed enough to radiate a positive energy towards customers.
"Judges were pleased to be greeted by a smile and had a warm interaction with staff in general, who showcased excellent awareness of allergens."

Two Magpies Bakery also impressed the judges with the way it "invests" in its employees in its sites across Norfolk and Suffolk.
The judges said: "Two Magpies Bakery aims to provide a structured but nurturing environment where team members have the freedom to express their ideas."
