I make sourdough bread, pizzas, frangipane tarts and quiches. Properly. Here in Henley. For the Boston Road Bread Chest. Tuesdays & Fridays from 8am.

Henley Bread Chest News-flash: Not only is all of

Henley Bread Chest News-flash: Not only is all of our bread, sourdough bread, but all our pizzas are sourdough pizzas too. No cutting of corners here. If you happen to believe that sourdough is better for the digestion, why would any of your dough-based products be made in any other way?

So what’s new in the Chest today?

Today’s quiche is made with extra-small courgettes, vintage cheddar, double cream, kefir, Morrell Farm eggs, grated nutmeg and Ottolenghi pastry.

Other treats to be found in the Chest include frangipane tarts, twice-baked almond croissants, and four different varieties of sourdough bread.
Made properly:

1. The Boston Roader – our signature loaf - organic white with organic spelt (25%) flour, from Shipton Mill. Made and baked in Henley-on-Thames.

2. Phyllis’s Fave – 100% stoneground, regeneratively-farmed wheat flour loaf, milled by Matthews Cotswold Flour. Made and baked in Henley-on-Thames.

3. The Leandertal loaf - 80% stoneground, regeneratively-farmed wheat flour, 20% cereals & seeds, including malted wheat flakes. Made and baked in Henley-on-Thames.

4. Scandic Rye – a blend of organic stoneground rye (Shipton Mill) and organic white (Shipton Mill). Made and baked in Henley-on-Thames.

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

How do I find it?
1. Arrive at 21 Boston Road, Henley on Thames - on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday from 8am. We only sell frozen sourdough, outside of the four aforementioned days. It freezes 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 of chest (you may need to twist handle) and select your physical items.
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 easy to use but should there be any issues, please ring the doorbell.
4. Enjoy
5. Repeat

Regular customers will be aware that we have teamed up with Wild Frog Bakery in Stoke Row and now supply their amazing fresh—baked croissants, pains au chocolat, and pains aux raisins every Friday.

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.
