We have a new flour for our
100% Rye Sourdough. After Scotland the Bread closed it's mill we had to find a new flour to use. We wanted it to still be Scottish, made with organic grain and also great quality. Up stepped Lapwings community mill . After a few trials behind the scenes we are more than happy to use this flour to continue producing the quality bread that we are known for across the borders.
Thank you to Lapwings community mill and Coralie for making this happen.

If you enjoy lapwings flour you can find out locally in The Super Store As anyone will tell you, Emma has championed quality products in her shop from the first day it opened and often has them in Peebles before anyone else has even heard of them. A genuine finder of gems and one of the giants that meer mortals like me are standing on the shoulders of.

Good morning,
Here's a shot of our new sandwich. Pan fried Halloumi with charred baby gem, chimichurri mayo and fig jam. This has all the components if a stand out sandwich. Salty, sweet, crunchy and chewy and above all Tasty.
The sourdough is looking fab. We are ready for you, so Pop down and fill your boots.
See you soon.
