We’ll have plenty on the shelves all week, with lunches served from noon on weekdays.

We want your apples!
No-one wants to think about Christmas (even if it’s a bit nippy right now), but there’s one very important festive job we need to do soon – make the filling for our legendary mince pies!
Apples are one of the key ingredients and we always like to source them from our regular customers. If you have a windfall happening in your garden and don’t know what to do with them, bring them to Loaf and we’ll add them to the mix. All varieties are welcome, from cookers to eaters to crab.
The last years we had more than we could deal with so we’re limiting donations to the next two weeks only – Wednesday 18th to Saturday 28th September. Any excess will be found a home with one of the local jam or cider makers, or failing that, expect lots of apple-related goodies in our sweets display.
