“10 years ago we never envisaged opening a bakery”
A popular Co Down bakery is expanding into Belfast.
Round House Bakery opened in Hillsborough back in 2022 by couple, Hannah and Shane Donaldson, who started their baking journey delivering loaves of bread to households up and down the country.
After selling out their speciality cradled loaves at markets and fairs across NI, their bricks-and-mortar store in the Co Down village has become a foodie hot spot over the past four years.

Although no opened date has been confirmed, Hannah and Shane took to social media to share the exciting news.
An Instagram post reads: “Round House 2.0 coming soon to Belfast!
“10 years ago we never envisaged opening a bakery. Just the two of us, fascinated by food, drink & hospitality, wildly passionate about bread and what it could be. That passion hasn’t wavered. This December will mark 4 years of our little shop in Hillsborough.“Almost everything we make is pure sourdough from large-format miche to bakery-style pizza. We bake direct or ambient. We don’t cold proof our bread dough.“The bakery is a busy place and we’re so thankful to serve our wonderful community. There’s no set opening date for Belfast yet but will keep you posted Can’t wait to share with you all our exciting plans for Cathedral Quarter!”
They are currently looking to expand their “top-tier team” and are looking for bakers, front of house staff and drivers to join the Round House team.
