Hi Folks! Here are some exciting updates to tell you about, going into September... SOURDOUGH SEPTEMBER We are super proud to be supporters of The Real Bread Campaign and September brings "Real bread" into focus once more!  All our sourdough is made with only 3 ingredients; Flour, Water and Salt. All the flavour and amazing shelf life comes from the high hydration, quality local flour and a long, slow ferment. To celebrate this month, we are pleased to announce a selection of special loaves available every Saturday. Watch out for them in the window or order on our website. Flavours...

After months of planning, our move seemed to happen very quickly! Suddenly the floor was down, the 3 phase electricity put in and the walls scrubbed and repainted. It took a lot of time and effort on Nathan's part, to clear out the previous kitchen and to sort all of our own stuff into a space several times larger than our old one.

All subscription orders will continue as usual and for everyone else we have the chance to celebrate with us with our "Move day" selection box. Featuring 4 of our...

Exciting news! Work is under way this week at our new bakery in Central Reading, the plumber is in to install the sinks and new flooring going down in the wash and mix rooms. A larger space means we can up our bread and pastry capacity for weekend deliveries and introduce new items to the menu too! We can't wait to bring REAL bread to more people in Reading! This expansion is going to require some extra pairs of hands, so we are looking to hire a weekend baker to support us on our busiest days. You don't need to...

Happy new year and welcome to our new website! Can you believe we are already over halfway through January? And RISE is officially 1 week old! The last few weeks of 2020 passed in a blur, Nathan and I did so many hours in the run up to Christmas we lost count! Finally it was Christmas eve, all the bakes went to plan, our wholesalers received their final bakes early in the morning and then we set back to it, to finish all the bakes for you; our doorstep customers. What we didn't realise is just how long it takes...
