Everything is made here, in the room behind the counter. The menu is on this page as words rather than a photograph of a chalkboard, so it reads on a phone and an allergy search can actually find it.

The menu, as text

A photograph of a chalkboard is invisible to a search engine and unreadable on a phone. This is the same menu, written out, which is also how the allergen information stays correct.

Finding us, and parking

The two things people actually ring to ask, answered before they have to. Hours here are the real ones and change on the page, not on a sign in the window.

Two hours on Elm Road. Six minutes from the station, downhill on the way here and uphill on the way back, which is what the buns are for.

The shopfront from the street

“The only place round here that tells you when the bread comes out.”
