Bread

We have daily deliveries from Bath bakery in Weston as well as twice weekly deliveries from artisan bakery Eleven based in Batheaston. All Eleven breads are 100% sourdough, meaning there's no yeast added to help raise the loaves, only a natural leaven produced from only flour and water. In fact the only ingredients in all the loaves are natural leaven, organic flour and a pinch of salt. The range includes 100% Rye, Spelt & Rye, small Spelt Rolls (rye and white spelt), Pain de Campagne (a mixture of wholemeal wheat, rye and strong white flour) and the best selling Pain au Levain (strong white wheat flour and rye).

We have hearty vegan pies, gluten free quiches, olives, dolmades and more! The centrepiece of our deli is our selection of filled rolls made fresh every morning. There's usually a choice of five different fillings, often all vegan, in organic seeded wholewheat rolls or spelt & honey rolls (not vegan). On Fridays and Saturdays you may also find our delicious vegan wraps on offer. On the sweet side there's our sought after gluten free chocolate cake, vegan carrot cake and incredible brownies by raw chocolate maestro Radek. There are fresh dates, a choice of pistachio or grape halva, and more cakes! If we had to say what the most common sound at our deli counter was (apart from Radio 4) it would be a tie between indecisive sighing and saliva dripping (not really, our customers are much more refind than that).
