Valentine's Gift Guide

We’re deep into comfort‑food time - the kind of days that call for thick sourdough toast, golden pies and warm kitchens.

I’ll be back at the Staplehurst Farmers Market on the third Sunday with fresh loaves, puff‑pastry pies and other handmade bakes.

Bread subscriptions continue online, and local collections are always available.

Small‑batch, full‑flavour baking made for cosy weekends and plenty of butter on toast.

This medium-dark roast combines the award-winning Revive Blend with single-origin coffee from Uganda, creating notes of dark chocolate, strawberries, and cream.
