They also offer hot takeaway food including a school lunch time meal deal. We employ over 60 staff between the three shops in Whitburn, Airdrie and Coatbridge and our Main bakery and are very much part of our communities from big celebrations to fund raisers and afternoon teas to daily staples.
A spokesperson said: "We already feel very welcomed by the local community and participated in our first Whitburn Gala last year and can’t wait to join in again this year.
"We have a good social media presence. You can find us at www.christiethebaker.co.uk and on Facebook and Instagram.
