Mamie Doherty
Rosseville Street, Derry
Our Story
It started with a kitchen, a stove, and Mamie.
In the 1940s, Mamie Doherty (née Rutherford) began baking bread from her home on Rosseville Street. Neighbours queued at the door. Word travelled. One kitchen became a counter, and a counter became a Derry institution.
Today, four brothers and a sister run the bakery — with Mum and Dad never far from the till. The recipes haven't changed. Neither has the welcome.
" We don't bake to be the biggest. We bake to be the best loaf in your bag on a Saturday morning. — The Doherty family
