Sourdough and more!
Towards the end of 2024 we teamed up with Wild Frog Bakehouse such that we now offer a much wider supply of products in the chest including authentic fresh-baked French butter croissants, pains aux raisins and pains au chocolat, all made with T45 French flour. Add to this our very own homemade quiches and frangipane tarts and you have the unique offering that is the Boston Road Chest, “the chest” for short. We intend to add to this offering during the course of 2025.
As a reminder about why our bread is different: we use only natural ingredients, no additives other than Himalayan rock salt, following a time-honoured (c3000-year-old), slow fermentation process which breaks down the ingredients fully, so as to maximise taste, nutrition value, and digestibility. Unlike most other bakers in the UK, the only bread we make is sourdough. Don’t suffer for anything less. Your gut will thank you.
Just come and swipe. if it’s your first visit and are unsure how to operate the machine, just ring the doorbell or message me. That said, all you do is touch the photo(s) of the loaf(ves) you want, confirm the amount a few times, then SWIPE with your phone or card, until you hear a bleep.
Select, then swipe…
We bake on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2am, and each bake requires at least a day’s preparation, hence the preference to get orders in well in advance. It also helps us to plan production efficiently and to minimise wastage. Customer feedback suggests that our bread keeps well at room temperature especially if kept in a cotton bag, and freezes well.
