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.
This week it's a short one as we get ready for our first appearance at Cocomad in a years! See you there!
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
We're at Cocomad this Saturday
It's Cocomad, the big community festival cum village fete in Cotteridge Park, this Saturday and for the first time in a long time Loaf will be there!
We're bringing buns, cakes, pastries and whatever else we can squeeze out of the Saturday bake shift, plus loads and loads of cold cans of Dalston's fizzy drinks. Look for the round green gazebo with our logo on it!
We'll also be on hand to talk about our new building (did we mention construction has started? We did?) with members of the other co-ops involved passing through.
Pop by and say hi!
