From the Founder - Dave Beck
Crumbs @ Chesapeake has created from not only a love of baking but also through the love of a close family.
​
The couple in the photograph are Harry and May May, my maternal grandparents and the inspiration for the tea room.

​
​
May May loved nothing more than to spend time in the kitchen to provide for her family. Harry, a true gent and a bit of a perfectionist would supervise to make sure she 'were to get it right Mate'.
​
This is a position he maintained whilst teaching me the baking skills he had learnt from May May and to 'get it right son'.
​
If Harry and May May were here today they would welcome you with warm hearts and open arms. A feeling we hope to replicate today.
​
Here at Crumbs we are about simple homemade products and delicious afternoon teas with friendly service and a homely atmosphere, all in the surroundings that compliment the historic building that is Chesapeake Mill.
​
While visiting, we hope that you feel like part of our family too.
