Bread worth getting up for.

Ruth and Dev bake through the night so the shelves are full when we open at eight. Sourdough, croissants, cinnamon buns and a proper cup of tea, until it’s gone.

Who bakes it

Two bakers, one oven and a lot of flour.

Ruth learnt to bake at her gran’s kitchen table in Doddington. Dev spent ten years baking for other people before they opened Lode & Loaf together in an old ironmonger’s shop. The sourdough starter is older than their eldest.

We use flour milled in East Anglia and eggs from a farm a few miles down the road, and we bake in small batches through the night so nothing sits about.

Find us
