The Cambridge loaf has arrived!

We're very excited to announce the first delivery of The Cambridge Loaf, a very special bread from our friends at Cobs Bakery, and the newest addition to our range of artisan organic breads.


A brown Sourdough boasting wheat grown at Wimpole Hall, milled at Maud Foster windmill in Swaffham Prior and baked by Cobs Bakery in Cambridge, this loaf is produced all within just 30 miles.

Satisfying and balanced, we think this little bread is going places! & will be available here every Tuesday and Friday.
