Righto,

If we have a day this week that isn’t 4 million degrees we’re going to do fresh baked scones with strawberry jam and cream.

Bit of crunchy sugar on the top to give that rock bun vibe and we aren’t in Devon or Cornwall so we’ll be putting our house made strawberry jam on the top….and the bottom. Don’t start, that debate can get almost as bad as when we all argue over the correct name given to a soft, round piece of sandwich bread.

Another scorcher today!

Counter stocked and ready for you. We’ve got loads of ice if you want an iced coffee too.

Sarnies from 11 as follows:

House-made corned beef, traditional pickle, lambs lettuce
Hot smoked salmon with dill crème fraiche and pickled cucumber
House-made potted ham, mustardy coleslaw
Duck egg mayo and cress
Creamy Lancs, tomato and chilli chutney, rocket

Our banana cake.

Yes, it’s basically a banana bread but without any of the dense desne sadness and regret.

We thought since it’s a cake let’s lean into that and make it more indulgent. It’s got sponge, banana caramel, cream cheese frosting, a grating of very nice dark chocolate and some of those crispy banana chips you get in a bowl of tropical muesli….you know the stuff with the little chewy pieces of candied papaya that make you feel all exotic.

Is banana bread a classic? I think it’s a modern one to be honest, given it was a huge source of purpose and comfort for many folk during the lockdown years, myself included.

Anyway enough of that, it’s only on for another day or so-so I thought it deserved its time in the sun. After that we’re filling the vacant counter space with freshly baked scones, clotted cream and house made raspberry jam ✌️

Anyway, here’s our 3 seed sourdough packed with sunflower, sesame and poppy seeds.

We’ve banned use of the best word to describe our carrot in the shop!

Moist.

It is though.

Lightly spiced with cinnamon and studded with big chunks of walnut. No sultanas because I reckon a higher percentage of you prefer it without. Topped with a, not too sweet, cream cheese and vanilla frosting.

One of our staples and here to stay.

Lovely sunny week here at the shop. And our first open 5 days a week!

The bright mornings definitely make us feel a little less like bread vampires.

Thanks to all that visited us, we’re still open for another hour with lots of sweet treats and sausage rolls to go at. Sandwiches flew out today but there’ll be more next Tuesday.

Get out in the sun and enjoy the weekend ❤️

We had some pecans left so made another maple and pecan flapjack but we plan to bring back the ever popular macadamia nut, white chocolate and cranberry one towards the weekend.

Did you know we do a bacon butty every morning till 9:30?

•One of our oven bottoms, out the oven no more than two hours ago.
•Salted buttter
•Smoked, dry-cured streaky bacon we source for a smokehouse in the Lake District

We even wrap it in one of those fancy foil lined parchment sheets to keep all that warmth in or we’ll put it on a plate for you if you wanna sit in.
