So. The journey of our beautiful E61 continues. After a few months in hibernation since she had to make way for our new GB5 she’s finally back in action after a little summer holiday. The new custodians of this spectacular machine are our lovely pals at Junior’s. They’ve promised us full visitation rights and we spent the last few days setting up and dialling her in and they’re now pouring and loving their new baby.

No idea the way to write a post like this. tav was a massive light of kindness. Fun. Awe. This evening has been the most glorious, tragic and joyful full of love event I’ve ever experienced. Her presence will always be felt and her memory will go on in our community in such a practical way. Whitstable, we have her awesome for always and Dolly we have you, and we will as our community be here for you. Go share and contribute to Dollys fund.

Rest well wonderful one. We have lost a massive light but we will keep the disco going for Dolly ###xx

We have our own butternut squash chutney on the shelves now. Since Dr Jam has gone on to fight the good fight in Ukraine and is doing lots of aid work there he hasn’t had the time to keep us stocked up with his wonderful preserves so once the last of the jars have sold that’ll unfortunately be it! Fear not. I’ve dusted off my old preserve recipe notebook and I’ll be making lots of jams and chutneys from my old playbook and Carmen has been working hard at filling the gaps with some lovely new producers! First up is this lovely vibrant spiced butternut squash chutney which won a pickle contest years and years ago. It was really lovely and nostalgic cooking down and canning up, filling the house with the delicious aromas of garlic ginger and chilli which brought back fond memories of when I used to run a catering and preserve making business from home when our eldest was still in nappies. Hope you like it as much as we do! ❤️❤️❤️

We have HONEY! So excited to be able to stock this super limited run of local wildflower honey, made by our pal Jon Lee and in art hives designed by insa_gram
A bit of a surreal moment putting these jars on the shelves as I used to spend HOURS searching for these legs all over London when at uni many moons ago. And now they are on the shelves at our bakery! Funny how the universe works sometimes. Anyway enjoy the honey!! Carmen x

Baker kneaded. We will never stop using this pun but on a serious note, we are looking for a new baker. As always experience preferred but at the very least kitchen experience preferable. Bakery wise we will offer all the training needed to bake excellent bread and Viennoiserie. Great pay, all the bread you can eat, all the coffee you can drink all the laughs you can have. Early starts your bag? Good. 3/4am starts once a week. 5/6am starts all other days. We’re a friendly inclusive tight knit team and we want another like minded person to join us. If this sounds like a bit of you or you know someone who might be interested get in touch! Email [email protected] with a cv or cover letter, why you’d like to work with us. We’re looking for this position to start around mid to late September time but that is flexible.
