_{LOAF IS MOVING!!}

_{STOCK UP YOUR FREEZERS!!}

_{FINAL OPENING HOURS!!}

_{BIG SEND OFF!!}

After many wonderful years in our current space, Loaf is getting ready to move on. That means it’s time to stock up your freezers and come and help us give this building the send-off it deserves.

Our last day of regular trading here will be Valentine’s Day, Saturday 14 February (8am–1pm). Then join us for a BIG SEND-OFF on Wednesday 16 February (12pm–6pm), where we’ll be serving one last daal (with optional egg!) and some bread, pastries and sweets. Come by, share your Loaf memories, and celebrate this chapter with us - were you around in the early days? We’d love to hear your stories.

Because construction timelines are what they are, we’ll be moving out in February, with everything crossed that we’ll be able to open the doors to our new home in April 2026. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled around Stirchley, on Instagram, and in this newsletter - we’re hoping to pop up locally over Easter (and yes, if there’s a way to get hot cross buns to you, we absolutely will).

Thank you so much for the incredible generosity you’ve already shown through our crowdfunder. Being closed for a month (or possibly longer) wasn’t part of the plan, so any extra support right now really makes a difference. If you’re able to help, you can do so by buying cookery school gift vouchers for future courses in our new building, sharing and donating to our crowdfunder, or popping into the shop between now and Wednesday 16 February - where we’ll also have bits of stock for sale, including bags of Matthews flour, Loaf merch, and more. And of course… there’s ONE LAST DAAL in the premises we have been in since 2012. 💛

Thank you for being part of Loaf - we couldn’t do this without you.

Cookery School Classes

We’ve decided to add a Simply Sourdough workshop to the schedule on Saturday 14th February as we won’t have moved by then so may as well spend valentines day with some of you! Booking is now live on our website, just click on the course title below.

All Day Classes with Availability:

🥖 Simply Sourdough 🥖

• Saturday 14th February 2026 9:30am - 4pm - NEW!!

Spend a day learning the art of sourdough where you’ll cover everything from caring for your starter to kneading, shaping, proving, and baking both wheat and rye sourdough loaves. You’ll take home your own dough to bake the next day, plus starters and full recipes to continue baking confidently at home.
