Our Bread
Our signature move; our pride and joy; our very literal bread and butter. We could go on, but the fact we’ve been nurturing the same starter culture for over 25 years says it all. We make and shape each loaf by hand, leaving them to prove and ferment for up to 18 hours to develop that distinctive tangy flavour and structure. That’s why we need to two days’ notice for orders: because good sourdough takes time. Though the classics – focaccia, bloomers and baguettes – handmade without compromise to tradition and quality are available to order for the next day.

Borough Brown
The wheat speaks for itself in this deceptively simple loaf, which unites four simple ingredients – Shipton Mill white and wholemeal flour, salt and water – under one dark, caramelised crust. The nuttiness of the bran and wheatgerm sets off the subtle tangy taste of our wholemeal starter whilst the tacky crumb contrasts neatly with the thick, chewy crust.

BOROUGH WHITE

It’s as versatile as you’d expect a white loaf to be, but the slight touch of spelt brings a sweet nuttiness and off-white creaminess to its tacky, open crumb.
