About Us

How Everything Started....

Source of Life is more than a bakery. It is a story—one that begins with a single grain of wheat and ends at the heart of the family table.

Our journey is rooted in Greece, where for over 20 years our family has worked with flour, time, and tradition. Bread has always been at the centre of our lives. Not rushed, not forced—allowed to rest, ferment, rise and transform. When we opened our first Source of Life bakery in East Barnet Village in 2020, in the midst of uncertainty, our purpose was simple: to tell the story of bread and share it with the community.

From seed to flour, from starter to dough, each loaf takes over 20 hours to become what it is meant to be. Slow-fermented sourdough, baked in-house every day. Artisan pastries made by hand. Sweet and savoury creations crafted with care, patience and respect for the process. Bread with a crackling crust, deep aroma and flavours meant to be shared—at breakfast, at lunch, at celebrations, in everyday moments. This is why we call it Source of Life.

2025

Winchmore Hill

In 2025, we brought the same philosophy to Winchmore Hill, opening our second location at Chi Chi’s Events Venus. This space was designed for slowing down. A place to sit, relax and enjoy—whether it’s morning speciality coffee with a fresh pastry, a leisurely brunch with friends, a sharing board with a glass of wine, or a beautifully curated afternoon tea served with bubbles or a mimosa.

While East Barnet thrives on movement and everyday moments, Winchmore Hill invites you to linger. Both are united by the same values: fresh ingredients, honest flavours and food made daily with care and love by our chef and team.

Source of Life is about warmth, heritage and togetherness.
About food that brings people closer.
