🍞 Pre-order your bread and pastries 🥐
We’ll have plenty on the shelves all week, with lunches served from noon on weekdays.
Our opening hours are:
Wed - Fri: 12-6
Saturday: 8-1
☀️ Our summer shutdown this year is 12 - 25 August, reopening Weds 28 August. ⛱️
Visit us at 1421 Pershore Road, Stirchley, B30 2JL (map)
Summer shutdown starts next week
After this Saturday we will be closed for a fortnight, re-opening on Wednesday 28th August.
August is our quietest month so we’re using this time to clear some holiday allowance and do essential maintenance ready for our busiest period in the autumn. So if you’re going to struggle without the good bread and have the freezer space, be sure and stock up this week!
If you know what you want please consider ordering up front as it helps us get the bake numbers right and avoid waste.
