Why join The Flour House?
At The Flour House, we are passionate about baking. We value quality ingredients, traditional skills, creativity, teamwork and supporting local Victorian farmers.
We are also opening two exciting new businesses in the next 2 months, a Bagel kitchen in Hampton, and a new site in Sandringham.
