And this year was no different for the Ditchling Road Bakery, which is a neighbourhood favourite known for its fresh baked bread and – when Easter rolls around, its delicious hot cross buns.
Customers lined up round the corner to get their hands on a bun and get a glimpse of the famously large queue. Although Easter itself is prime time for hot cross buns, the bakery has actually been selling them every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday since February, selling more as the days get longer and the evenings lighter.
