We would kindly ask you to order by text or email. We will reply to you to confirm your order.

Orders need to be placed by Sunday Midnight for delivery Wednesday.

Orders need to be placed by Wednesday Midnight for delivery Saturday

Unfortunately this will be strict cut off as we need to keep our production and deliveries manageable. This is also why we have a delivery radius.

We may have to close the Order Book before the deadline is due, due to the amount of orders placed. We apologise in advance if this is the case.

Delivery Areas – We will deliver within the immediate and most areas surrounding the Bakery in Aldridge. We are very sorry we will not be able to deliver to everyone, as we are relying on the kindness, generosity and time of our volunteer delivery drivers. If you are unsure if we can deliver to you, please contact us via text or email. Unfortunately we won’t be able to give you a delivery time for your order. But we can advise you your delivery will be between 3pm and 8pm.

When ordering please stipulate which day and date you would like your order with your name and address with postcode.

There will be no reasonable limit to what you can order from the menu.

As you know our breads and Sourdoughs freeze brilliantly so you can stock up a little if you need to or even share an order with a neighbour!.

Your order will be placed at your front door, porch or a safe place as requested. We appreciate you respecting the Social Distancing requirements for our wonderful drivers.

The driver can collect this upon delivery.

Hello Beautiful Peeps!
We hope you are all well and in good spirits and enjoying the Gorgeous Fresh Spring weather

It is with a heavy heart that we have shut the Bakery as of Saturday 11th April 2020. It has been such a difficult decision and has not been one taken likely at all. But we feel that at this moment in time, we are making the right decision for you, our treasured customers and friends and ourselves too. In short, we want you all to stay fabulous.
****************** BUT *************************
You will still be able to get your lovely bread and treats delivered to your door very soon!!!!. This week we will be getting our heads together to organise the logistics of a ‘Delivery Service’ to start in the week commencing 20th April 2020. We will be in touch when this is all finalised! so watch this space. We will also be popping the information on our Facebook and Instagram for you all to see. Any questions about our delivery service will be answered when we have ironed out all the details, so we’re very sorry in advance, we won’t be able to answer any queries as of yet.

We cannot thank you enough for all your continued support and patience through these unprecedented times. You really are an incredible bunch of individuals and it makes all the early mornings and long hours worthwhile.

Love & Blessings to you all

Michelle & Dave
