Decisions, decisions! Whatever it is, we’ve got your lunch on the go covered.

You can get any cob (large or small), crisps or a cheese straw (my personal favourite!) and a cake or sausage roll, with a drink of your choice for £7.50 or less (excluding hot drinks).

Want something warm instead? Did we mention we also do hot cobs? Available Monday to Friday from midday (not included in our meal deal).

We'd like to introduce you to our founder, Henry Evans, born in 1784. We believe that he married a lady called Elizabeth and her Dad passed the bakery onto Henry. Henry was the son of a Pastor from Allestree so moved to Riddings to run his wife's family business. We'd love to hear any stories you have from the early 1800s.
