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 we have some news about our new building in Stirchley which is starting construction very soon!
Scroll down for this week’s lunch menu and cookery school classes.
🍞 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
There are a couple of events on the horizon for Stirchley Co-operative Development, the new building which will house Loaf, Birmingham Bike Foundry, Artefact and 39 apartments. It's taken much longer than we anticipated but the land has been purchased, the builders contracted and things are about to, finally, get real.
Next Friday afternoon, 16 July, is the ground breaking ceremony where we'll stick the first shovel in the ground, the press take some photos, and the start of construction is officially marked. We've put together a list of friends and long-term supporters of Loaf to invite but have doubtless forgotten a few. If you feel you should be on that list and have an interest in an equitable future for Stirchley, please drop us a note to info@loaf.coop and we'll send you the details.
Then on Saturday 1st July we'll have a stall at CoCoMad – our first in a long while. As well as selling cakes and pastries, and giving baking advice and tips, we'll be talking about the new building and will have plenty of information to hand. If you have any questions, please do pop along and ask!
Lunches are made fresh weekdays for 12 noon.
Our menu for the week — with ingredients and allergens — is on the website.
