Alongside our offering of sourdough bread and sourdough pizzas, we also offer patisserie and viennoiserie items. The viennoseries comprise croissants, pains au chocolat and pains aux raisins. These items are made by the Wild Frog Bakehouse in Stoke Row and are collected, fresh-from-the-oven, by me every Friday at 7am. And available from the Chest throughout the weekend, while stocks last. Pre-orders welcome.
