Hello everyone,

Thanks to everyone for coming to see us at Verbena and the market in Kings Heath last week! It’s so good to still be able to do what we love doing while waiting for our new space to be (finally) ready.

In the meantime we will be this week again at Verbena Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 12-3 (1474 Pershore Road, Birmingham B30 2NT).

And we are now able to announce that we will join two more Birmingham Artisan Markets this weekend! Hot cross bun time is definitely over, so let’s see what other surprises the bakers will bring along on their way from Reddich.

You will be able to catch us here:

  • Saturday 18th April 10-3 Golden Square, Jewellery Quarter

  • Sunday 19th April 10-3 Bournville Green, Bournville

➡️ Click HERE to pre-order bread and buns for Wednesday till Friday.

If you don’t want to pre-order that’s alright, we always have more to sell, but we try not to let anything go to waste, so pre-orders are very helpful.

➡️ You can email info@loaf.coop to pre-order lunch (menu below).

We sold out sandwiches quickly last week. If you want to be sure that you don’t miss out, please drop us an email! And I am almost certain we might sell out this one! Just saying Buffalo cauliflower … 😏😏😏

➡️ Cut-off time for all pre-orders is 11am on the day before pick up!

Thanks so much to STEAMHOUSE, Verbena and Birmingham Artisan Markets for offering us their spaces! We don’t know what we would do without your help! 💛 💛 💛

Spring Sale at Verbena on Saturday!

Chloe, who is hosting us at the moment at Verbena is moving out of her premisses after 6 years of creating beautiful and delicious food in Stirchley.

Verbena is organising a final clear out this Saturday 18th April 10-12pm, selling glasware, crockery, cutlery, pots and pans, knick knacks, cake stuff, textiles & much more!

There will also be an auction for their ‘slightly nicer stuff’, including some kitchen appliances and various dried flower arrangements. Plus free odds and sods that are too good to go to landfill, but you don’t really want to sell as well.

Most items on that day will be £5 or less.

If you want to try Chloe’s food - you can still pop to Isla a 8-seater micro wine & snack bar just a few more doors down the road - 1460 Pershore Road!

Lunch Menu:

Wednesday:

🔸 Tarka Daal with Sourdough (Ve)

Thursday:

🔸 Sandwich w/ Buffalo cauliflower with cabbage and carrot ranch slaw (Ve)

Friday:

🔸 Curry w/ Roasted onion, potato, spinach & lentils w/ Sourdough (Ve)

See you soon!
