Celebrating the pinnacle of croissant craftsmanship
After three highly successful years championing the very best of British baking, Best Croissant UK returns for its 4th edition — once again setting the benchmark for excellence in laminated pastry.
From celebrated independent bakeries to world‑renowned hotels, the competition shines a spotlight on those who demonstrate outstanding craftsmanship, technical precision and an uncompromising commitment to quality. This is where passion, skill and tradition meet butter, flour and fire.
The London – South Region Semi-Final
For the second consecutive year, we are proud to host the London Semi-Final at TheTasteLab — a space dedicated to innovation, expertise and the future of professional baking.
At this crucial stage of the competition, 50 selected participants will present their freshly baked croissants to a panel of expert judges. Each entry will be rigorously assessed on appearance, lamination, flavour, texture and overall execution.
Only the very best will progress.
From this London semi-final, just 12 finalists will earn their place in the Grand Final, together with the 8 finalists from the North region, held at the iconic The Savoy on 16 October 2026.
Why it matters
This competition is more than an award — it is a celebration of the skill, discipline and artistry behind one of the world’s most demanding pastries. Reaching the final places bakeries among the elite of the UK baking scene.
The question is simple:
Who will craft the croissant that stands above the rest?
