The Landour Bakehouse: The Yummiest Launch by Rokeby Manor

Named after the Welsh village of Llanddowror, Landour is a quaint little cantonment town near Mussoorie in the foothills of the great Himalayas. Its poetic beauty inspired them to call it the ‘Hamlet in the Hills.’ With the lofty Himalayan peaks looming on one side and the Shivalik hills on the other, the engulfing dramatic landscape and quiet atmosphere makes Landour the quintessential getaway for the stressed traveller.

A little sneak peak into its history

It is a known fact that the Rokeby Manor has always preserved and cherished the history of the serene town of Landour. And, even the cafe has some interesting facts attached to it too. In 1837, when Victoria became queen, most of her people lived in the countryside and every parish would have had a communal oven or a Bakehouse. From the early 1900s, all the eclectic residents of Landour would meet at Community Center book clubs, as well as other social gatherings on the hillside.

Those same old recipes continue to be used till this day by the community of Landour. The manuscripts of the recipes were updated, revised and published and republished as The Landour Cookbook, through 5 editions.
