Bank holiday weekends are made for yummy food, slow brunches with friends, good plans, and beautiful blue skies (we’re keeping our fingers and toes crossed!). It’s full steam ahead for us, with our bread stores in Kendal and Altrincham open as usual over the weekend.

So, how are you planning to spend your long weekend? Whether you’re off exploring the lakes, keeping it local in Altrincham, or hosting friends at home, we’ve got your holiday eating well covered. We’re thinking beyond the lie-in (although we’ve nailed that too) with our Chocolate Orange Pain Suisse – delicately layered pastry, rich dark chocolate and a briny hit of citrus that feels like a small celebration before midday.

Heading outdoors with a packed bag? Our focaccia is made for it: perfect for taring and sharing, sturdy enough for travel, and packed with flavour. ideal for picnic boards, easy sandwiches, or simply torn apart wherever the day takes you, simple, satisfying and always a crowd pleaser.

And when the afternoon drifts into the beer garden and suddenly everyone fancies “just a little bit of tea” … don’t worry, we have that one covered too.

Staying at home with you, why not plan a pizza party? Our semolina and stone-ground white flour are just what you need to get you well on your way. bringing great flavour, beautiful texture, and that unmistakable artisan character to every slice. To help you kick things off, we’ve popped a pizza recipe by Aidan Monks below as a little bank holiday treat for you lovely lot. No bank holiday is complete without flour-dusted worktops, bubbling ovens, and at least one debate over pineapple belonging on or off pizza.
