Anyone else not quite ready to let go of the bun? But want something a bit, well, different? Or feel like you missed out on it all because you don’t like the whole dried fruit and spice thing?

Well this weekend we have something for you. Something delicious. Something different. Something here just for a couple of short weekends.

We’ll let you know what it is tomorrow. But in the meantime: It’s most definitely a Not Cross Bun. A Happy Bun. A Lovely Bun. Because buns are not just for Easter.

So this is a serious post - one that I’ve really hesitated about. Let’s start by saying that most of our customers are d...

So this is a serious post - one that I’ve really hesitated about. Let’s start by saying that most of our customers are delightful - we love seeing you, and we love being a small part of your lives. This is not aimed at you.

Lately though, there’s been an upturn in people trying to come in early, I mean REALLY early - and when we say we’re not quite ready, being downright rude about it.

I get you can see delicious things. I get you want them now. But please understand we’re still setting up, there are things to do. We open as soon as we’re ready, more often than not before our advertised time. But if you’re coming 20 or 30 minutes early, most likely we’ll politely ask you to come back a bit later.

If you’ve just walked in, not realising, that’s ok - we’ve all been there. But to stand and try to insist we serve you, being argumentative, or even just pleading ‘I only want one thing’ is just not fair.

Coming back later and angrily having another go at the front of house team is unforgivable. Walking out and telling them to ‘arrange’ to have a sourdough ready for you early each Friday? Nope. Not happening.

Sadly this isn’t an isolated incident.

My team work so hard. You may have noticed some new faces in the last few weeks. They’ve all done so well to be up and running really quickly. They set up within about 15 minutes - quite a feat - and they deal with 100-150 customers a day, and they do it really well. I’m so proud of them all: Nichol, Jayden, Jemima and Efa.

Thank you to everyone who has been so welcoming, and patient, and kind. Really - seeing familiar faces each day is why we do this. Seeing children grow up, hearing what’s going on with you, celebrating and commiserating with you. This is the kind of bakery we want to be.

So to those few people who don’t get that - it’s simple: don’t be rude, OK? Remember there are actual human beings on the other side of the counter.

Sorry for the long post everyone. But sometimes it needs to be said.

There’s a new kid in town …. introducing our new Blueberry Preserve, available from this weekend 🫐

All our preserves are made by us, no flavourings, no additives, just traditional preserve that tastes of the fruit itself! We make small batches at a time, and once it’s gone it’s gone, so grab your favourite while you can.

Right now we make the following:
Marmalade
Rhubarb & Vanilla
Blackcurrant
Lemon Curd
Raspberry (more coming soon)
Strawberry (when fresh strawberries come into season in June)
Maybe some stone fruits to follow in the Autumn?

We even have a few jampots still available made by the talented .y.bont_ceramics
