This is the weekly newsletter from Loaf in Stirchley, keeping you abreast of our bakery and cookery school, and other news we think you might be interested in.
Scroll down for this week’s lunch menu, cookery school spaces and community news.
🍞 Pre-order your bread and pastries 🥐
We’ll have plenty on the shelves all week, with lunches served from noon on weekdays.
Our bakery opening hours are:
Tue - Fri: 12 - 6
Saturday: 8 - 1
Pre-order your bread for the weekend!
The last couple of Fridays and Saturdays we’ve sold out of bread way before closing, which is great for business! But not great for those who came in once the shelves were bare.
If you want to be sure to get the loaf you want and can’t be there when we open, please do pre-order. You can place an order for collection on Friday and Saturday during the week until 10am Thursday (when we need to send the numbers to the bakery).
