New: Jalapeño & Cheese Sourdough

Our sourdough

Just three simple ingredients. Flour, water and salt. That's it.

Every loaf starts with our own sourdough starter, carefully prepared dough and plenty of time. There are no shortcuts when it comes to our bread. From mixing and folding to shaping, proving and baking, every loaf is made by hand.

We love a loaf with a beautifully crisp crust, a soft, open crumb and plenty of flavour: the kind of bread that's just as good with butter as it is turned into your favourite sandwich.

Our story

From my home kitchen to Castle Road

What started as a little micro bakery from my home, baking from my kitchen and selling at markets, has led here. Tap through.
