Three. It’s the magic number
Some of our favourite things come in threes.
The ingredients in our sourdoughs: flour, salt and water.
Our recipe for the perfect weekend: bread, love and sunshine.
And now the number of awards we’re shortlisted for – SO FAR! – in the Baking Industry Awards 2022. Nominated in the BIAs with Malted Barley Sourdough
It’s an honour to be nominated in the BIAs with Malted Barley Sourdough. They’re the most important awards in UK baking, judged by our fellow bakers and industry experts.
That’s why we’re popping like cold beers in a heatwave to discover that our Malted Barley Sourdough is one of the magic three finalists in Speciality Bread Product of the Year. Already named Britain’s best wholegrain loaf at the Farm Shop and Deli Awards, this big-flavoured bloomer gets its nutty richness from barley sprouted and roasted traditionally at Britain’s oldest working maltings.
We’re also thrilled to be in the final three for Online Bakery Business of the Year – a huge hats-off to the quality of our web shop and nationwide delivery service (read more about this below).
And we’ve just found out we’re shortlisted in the Customer Focus Award too, one of three businesses celebrated for going the extra mile for our communities. A hearty thank you to all the wonderful customers who visit our and Altrincham – we love catching up with you and sharing your bread stories.
With shortlists in some categories of the BIAs still to be announced, and winners to be unveiled at a black-tie knees-up in October, we’re getting our posh frocks ready. Wish us luck!
Perfect weekend in a box
Bread, love and sunshine? We can’t guarantee you the latter (this weekend is an exception).
But bread and love? They’re coming your way. Order from our online shop and you can have a parcel of sourdough deliciousness delivered to your door – or someone else’s door – anywhere in the UK. Our loaves are made to order using a 48-hour fermentation process. Once baked they are carefully packed by our team at the Kendal Bread Store at Lovingly HQ, wrapped in natural wax-lined brown paper bags and snuggled into recycled cardboard boxes for carbon-neutral delivery nationwide. Hand-pick your favourite loaves or choose from one of our curated boxes: Sourdough Discovery; Breakfast in Bed; Staycation; Barbecue or Vegan Picnic.
All set for a sizzle
Bacon butties by your tent; burgers on the barbecue; sarnies in your backpack; salads in the sun. When beautiful weather is blazing, great bread is all you need to inspire a feast. So why not shimmy over to our bread stores at Kendal or Altrincham Market – or visit our online shop – to see where your appetite and creativity might take you?
We love Spiced Apple sourdough with a grilled Cumberland sausage. The mighty Mrs Kirkham’s crumbled into in our Cheese and Marmite sourdough – which owes its tangy flavour to that wondrous Lancashire cheese – makes the world’s best cheese sandwich, IOHO. It’s worth taking the time to make a glorious Greek salad just so you can mop up the juices with our Kalamata Olive sourdough (made with succulent umami-rich olives). Or just bung the best burgers you can find into our airy ciabatta buns – no fuss required.
Happy weekend!
