Bread

Time is the key to great bread allowing flavours and textures to develop naturally

Our traditional breads are all made by hand using scratch ingredients in our small bakery at the back of our Lichfield shop. We bake many types of bread in a range of shapes and sizes with a combination of flavours and textures.

Staffordshire

SPELT

Spelt is an ancient variety of wheat which is popular with those that prefer to steer clear of modern wheats. It takes time to make this loaf, so it is left to ferment before being baked producing a cake-like crumb.

Malted

COUNTRY

Signature

BUTTALUMP

Buttalump one of our signature breads, which we have been baking for generations, it's a beautiful soft loaf made with butter.

Rich

TEA LOAF

Another customer favourite, this is a sweet bread with currants, sultanas, cherries, orange peel & mixed spice.

SOUR DOUGH

Long fermentation allows the proteins in the flour to mellow, making it easier to digest. Giving the bread it’s distinctive sour taste.

Fig & Walnut

SOUR DOUGH

The dried fruit & nuts are blended with our malted sour dough to create this decadently rich loaf.
