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 Hot Cross Buns are back! Because it’s Easter soon! And that’s when we have Hot Cross Buns!
We’ve also added a few more classes for March and April run by tutor Lap-fai Lee and Loaf’s own bakers.
Apologies for the absence of newsletters over the last fortnight. Hope you managed!

We’ll have plenty on the shelves all week, with lunches served from noon on weekdays.
Our opening hours are:

Whether you celebrate Easter, worship Ēostre or just like seasonal tea cakes, you’ll be delighted to learn that Loaf’s legendary hot cross buns are back this week. Hand made in our bakery with our secret ingredient (Earl Grey tea) we’re dead proud of these and hope you enjoy them as spring slowly emerges.
They’re on sale Wednesday to Saturday, priced at £2 each or six for £10 (buy five get one free). You can pre-order on the website or pick them in store.
Since we last talked we’ve scheduled some more classes with Lap for the spring.
We’ve also found space in the rota for the Loaf bakers to run some more of their classes, with Martha’s Bread — Back to Basics on Tue 18 Apr and Neil’s Sweet Breads and Viennoiserie on Sat 15 Apr.
To be informed of new dates as soon as they’re released, sign up to the alert lists.
The next Stirchley Community Market will be on Saturday 18 March at Stirchley Baths from 10am to 3pm. We had a marvellous and worthwhile time there in December and look forward to attending again. Pop it in your diary!
Lunches are made fresh weekdays for 12 noon.
