Loaf Newsletter 27/04/26

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us at our various pop-ups. We are pleased to announce that our next (and hopefully final) pop up location will be alongide Anosh Speciality Coffee  just across the road from Verbena at 1475 Pershore Road (aka Deadbeat after 5pm!). We will be serving the usual freshly baked sourdough, focaccia, cinnamon and cardamom buns and other goodies.

Lunches are TBC this week just as we suss out what’s doable in this new space.

You can pre-order bread and buns here.

Loaf Newsletter 18/04/2026

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately we’ve had even more devestating news in that the completion date for the SCD site has been pushed back until towards the end of May. We’re obviously gutted as this creates even more uncertaintly for us financially as the goal post is moved back yet again.

We are forever indebted to Chloe from Verbena for letting us use her space since the start of March, however she is selling the building and so next week will be the last week we’ll be selling from there. We are now on the hunt for somewhere new to sell out of throughout May, as the agonising wait for a firm completion date continues - any suggestions drop us a message!

Loaf Newsletter 13/04/2026 - This week at Verbena and two more markets at the weekend!

Hello everyone,

Thanks to everyone for coming to see us at Verbena and the market in Kings Heath last week! It’s so good to still be able to do what we love doing while waiting for our new space to be (finally) ready.

In the meantime we will be this week again at Verbena Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 12-3 (1474 Pershore Road, Birmingham B30 2NT).

And we are now able to announce that we will join two more Birmingham Artisan Markets this weekend! Hot cross bun time is definitely over, so let’s see what other surprises the bakers will bring along on their way from Reddich.

Hello everyone,

A HUGE thanks to everyone for coming to see us at Verbena the last weeks and it was so good to see so many of you at the Stirchley Community Market last Saturday as well!

We are really grateful we could join the market on short notice and can only encourage everyone who is thinking to give them a hand at their next market in June as a volunteer to do so. Here is more information about volunteering at the market.

We are pleased to confirm that we will be back again at Verbena next week on Wednesday, Thursday AND Friday!

An update from Loaf (plus exciting pop-up news 👀) Friday 13th March 2026

HXB

Hello everyone,

Boy have we missed you all! It’s only been 3 weeks since we closed the doors for the final time at 1421 Pershore Road but it feels like a lifetime!

Our situation is much the same; we’re still waiting on the green light from SCD and a date that we can (finally) move in. This means we are trying to cut our costs as much as possible to ensure that we can survive this period of closure that might go on longer than expected.
