Located only steps away from where the Mayflower had been docked, Jacka Bakery would have provided the snacks, biscuits, breads and food the Pilgrims took on board the Mayflower just before heading out to sea on their final journey more than 400 years ago. 

Jacka Bakery in Plymouth, Devon, England

Jacka Bakery in Plymouth, Devon, England, looks like a typical neighborhood bakery. Brownies, croissants and baguettes fill baskets in the window display. But if you look closely and you’ll see a small plaque on the wall that quietly boasts this is Great Britain’s oldest continuously operating bakery. Since 1597, much of the time in the same family, this bakery has been producing cookies, biscuits and other treats for locals and visitors alike. 

Located only a 2 minute walk from the Mayflower Steps where the Mayflower set off for the New World in 1620, Jacka Bakery had already been in business for 23 years during the time the Mayflower had been docked in Plymouth. It's even said to have provided the ship's biscuits for the Pilgrim Fathers aboard the Mayflower. This very popular bakery still exists today.
