About the Employer

Our story begins over 200 years ago when our founder William Nelstrop crossed the Pennines from the family farm and mill in Yorkshire to create Nelstrops family flour millers in Cheshire.We have been making the finest flours for artisan, craft and home bakers ever since.

We source the best local and English grown wheat which can all be traced back to the farms where it was grown. We source Canadian hard spring wheat from the prairies for flours which are best suited for long fermentations and sourdoughs.

We then mill the grain at the family mill in Cheshire, at the same spot as where the mill was founded, which combines traditional milling with state of the art swiss milling.

We can mill a quality of flour not found elsewhere, and are winners of the highest Great Taste Awards in the country.

Nelstrops is one of the oldest millers in Great Britain and is proudly run today by the sixth generation of the Nelstrop family.
