Pre orders and subscriptions welcome.

Ad hoc purchases from the chest also welcome, simply visit our HQ at 21 Boston Road, Henley-on-Thames (where the self-service bread chest is situated), whenever convenient. We bake on Tuesdays and Fridays so if you want your bread fresh from the oven, the best times to come are from 8am onwards on those particular days. However we will also likely have decent availability on Wednesdays and Saturdays too. The loaves keep well and will last a week in a linen bag, and for several months if sliced and frozen.

Pre orders welcome. Helps minimise wastage – for more info visit www.thebostonroadbaker.com.

How do I find it?
1. Arrive at 21 Boston Road, (we are short walk from central Henley, and even shorter cycle ride) on a Tuesday or Friday from 8am. There is often bread available on Saturdays and Wednesdays too, since sourdough bread keeps well for around a week. However, we only sell frozen sourdough, outside of the four aforementioned days. It freezes very well so if you prefer to buy a batch for the freezer, probably best to pre-order a few days before (minimum 24 hours).
2. Lift lid and select your physical items (for olive oil please ring the bell or message me)
3. Pick up the payment device and match the items you have taken to the photos on the screen and tap accordingly, and pay. It is very easy to use but should there be any issues, please ring the doorbell.
4. Enjoy
5. Repeat

Whether you come on a Tuesday or a Friday, you can rest assured our bread is baked fresh that morning.
