Yes. Our bakers start early each morning to ensure that our bread and pastries are baked fresh daily using traditional artisan methods.
We use high-quality flour from Marriages, a respected British miller known for producing premium baking flour. This helps us maintain the flavour and consistency our customers expect.
Our signature sourdough is made using only four ingredients: flour, water, salt, and our homemade sourdough starter. The dough is naturally fermented for around 24 hours to develop its flavour and texture.
Slow fermentation allows natural yeasts and bacteria to develop complex flavours and improves the texture of the bread. This traditional process also makes sourdough easier to digest compared with quickly produced bread.
Many people find sourdough easier to digest because the long fermentation helps break down gluten and sugars. It also produces bread with a richer flavour and longer shelf life.
Artisan bread is made using traditional baking methods, high-quality ingredients, and longer fermentation times. Unlike mass-produced bread, it is usually shaped by hand and baked in small batches.

Fresh bread is best stored at room temperature in a bread bag, paper bag, or wrapped in a clean cloth. Avoid storing bread in the refrigerator, as it can dry out more quickly.
Yes. Sourdough freezes very well. Slice the loaf before freezing so you can take out only what you need.
A thicker crust forms during traditional baking and helps protect the loaf, keeping the inside soft and fresh while also contributing to flavour and texture.
