What We
Bake.

01

Country Sourdough

Our flagship. A 72-hour ferment using our 7-year-old starter. Tangy, open crumb, crackling crust. Made with a blend of stoneground white and wholemeal from Marriages Mill.

02

Dark Rye

100% rye flour, caraway and a long cold prove. Dense, flavourful, exceptional with butter and smoked salmon. Our most traditional loaf.

03

Seeded Bloomer

A lighter, more accessible loaf. Sunflower, pumpkin, sesame and linseed — toasted before they go in. Crowd pleaser. Out by 7:30 every morning.

04

Seasonal Pastry

Croissants, pain au chocolat, kouign-amann, and seasonal specials. Laminated by hand every morning using French AOP butter. Available until they sell out.
