Baking Together, From Our Family to Yours

 At just 16, Peter Gray began baking in a small village shop with a dream to open his own bakery. That dream came true in 1975 with the launch of Nada Bakery in Haitaitai soon to be followed with several outlets around Wellington city and finally opening in Johnsonville where it became a community favourite. Baking has always been a family affair, with Peter’s wife Judith and their children all helping in the business as well as his Sister and brother. When Peter passed away in 2005, Judith and son Michael continued his legacy, expanding to Tawa and creating The Bakery Basket a home delivery service. Today, Nada remains a true family bakery, supported by a loyal team and generations of customers who feel part of the story.

Proudly Local

 We work with local suppliers wherever possible, choosing quality ingredients from Wellington and beyond. From Wellington milled flour to Whittakers chocolate and Karamu Coffee roasted in Eastbourne, our bakery is built on local partnerships. For over 40 years we’ve also donated food to charities, supported schools and community events, and trained the next generation of bakers.
