So if you live in or around Henley-on-Thames why not sign up for a regular supply of healthy, sustainable, fresh-baked sourdough? Come visit the Boston Road Bread Chest on a Tuesday or Friday from 8am – and ‘swipe’ a loaf of your choosing. Alternatively we deliver by ev and bicycle direct to your doorstep. I prepare and bake the bread myself. Properly. Using 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

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.

Alternatively, you can subscribe for a regular supply either weekly, twice-weekly or bi-weekly. This enables you to specify shape and style of loaf rather than taking pot-luck as to what’s there. It is flexible such that you can pause your subscription at any time. Minimum subscription is £22 (four standard sourdough loaves) excluding delivery.

For those in Shiplake or nearby, the Lower Shiplake Corner Shop stocks our sourdough (Tuesday and Friday) from no later than 9am.

Local delivery (Henley-on-Thames, Bix, Assendon, Hambleden, Fawley, Stonor, or Medmenham e by bike, e-bike, or eV is also a popular choice. 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 2am, 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. Customer feedback suggests that our bread both keeps well at room temperature especially if kept in a cotton bag, and freezes well.
