The Boston Roader – £5.50
Our signature sourdough loaf, made from 75% organic white and 25% stone-ground organic wholemeal spelt, water and Himalayan rock salt. Slowly.
The result is an airy-crumbed, chewy-crusted loaf with a low glycemic index – 780g pre-bake weight, minimum 18-hour proving time. We use only organic or regeneratively-farmed wheat flour s in our bread, pizzas and pastries. The practice of regenerative agriculture respects nature and the earth and leads to an improvement in soil quality.
Phyllis’s Fave – £5.50
An environmentally-positive, sourdough made with 100% wild-farmed (aka regeneratively-farmed), stoneground wheat flour from the Cotswolds.
The Leandertal – £5.50
- fit for a healthy Henley lifestyle
- a sourdough loaf, packed with cereals & seeds
- a multi-grain, higher protein, sourdough loaf with organic sunflower seeds, millet, malted wheat flakes and barley flakes.
- We use locally grown & milled wild-farmed, stoneground flour from the Cotswolds, water and Himalayan rock salt. Nothing else added apart from the cereals and seeds.
The Fairmeal – £5.50
Stoneground organic wholemeal blended with organic white flour, ferment, water and Himalayan rock salt.
Scandic Rye -£6
A classic nordic sourdough loaf made with organic dark rye flour, organic white, levain, and Himalayan rock salt. A taste of Scandinavia created in Henley-on-Thames. Arguably an acquired taste, but once acquired never seemingly forgotten…judging from our small but growing band of committed rye subscribers.
As fresh and as green as it gets – sourdough made properly in HoT . Not in an out-of-town unsustainable bread factory reliant on high food miles and heavy carbon footprint.
How it works:
Swipe it from the Chest
The Boston Road Bread Chest – Tuesdays & Fridays – out by 8am
I bake sourdough in my home every Tuesday and Friday for collection from “the chest” (the sole outlet in Henley) and for delivery (via subscripti0n) – we offer self-service contactless payment or cash – bread can be purchased in this way from 8am until late in the day, direct from “the chest” in front of number 21. Just come and swipe. If it’s your first visit, there are written instructions inside the chest, but the payment machine is user-friendly. Just touch the photo(s) of the loaf(ves) you want, and follow the instructions.
Select, then swipe…

To subscribe or simply to find out more, just leave a message here and I will get back to you.
We bake on Tuesdays and Fridays from 1am, and each bake requires at least a day’s preparation, hence the preference to get orders in well in advance. It also enables us to minimise wastage.
