Thank you again for a bumper week this week with 30 breads in total and most of them on the Saturday. I'm glad me having the Friday didnt deter you from placing orders and it's always a pleasure to serve my faithful customers!

This week we have:

Tuesday: Wild West 70% wholegrain in either standard or large size. Please order by Monday LUNCHTIME. You need to be on a tab system (or prepay by bank transfer) and have a safe place for me to deliver your bread in order to buy bread on Tuesday. I deliver some time during the day but cant tell you for sure when as I usually still work on Tuesdays (at my normal desk job I mean), hence the need for a safe place and no cash as I probably wont see you.

Friday-Saturday: Walnut bread, Poppy & Sesame and (Friday only) my Lincs plum bread. Please place your order(s) by Wednesday LUNCHTIME. 

Next week will be a cut down version of the normal baking week with no sourdough on Friday as I'm in London all day on Thursday and cant prep. Maybe a good opportunity to get your sourdough earlier in the week and make the most of Wild West Tuesday! So the menu will go as follows:

Wild West Tuesday with Wild West in either standard or large size.
This is a delivery-only and no-cash service so I need a safe place to leave your bread and for you to be on a tab system (email me if you are a regular customer and would like to move to no cash). 

Friday: my Lincs plum bread only

Saturday: Fig & Fennel and another Wild West heritage but with Kamut this time.

Please email me back to order: by Monday LUNCHTIME for Tuesday's Wild West or by Wednesday EVENING (this week only) for Friday and Saturday orders. 

New customers: orders are placed via email. If you have not received an email from me yet, do get in touch via the contact form, thank you. 

And for the second week of the relaunched offering we will have :

Tuesday: Wild West 70% wholegrain, in either Standard or Large size.

Remember that this is a delivery only and no cash system (see early September post) so you need to be on an online tab to order (please inquire if you're not sure) and have a safe place for me to deliver your bread during the day.

Friday and Saturday: Wild West Heritage with Emmer, 3-grain levain

Friday only: my Lincs plum bread and chocolate sourdough. 

Order for Tuesday by Monday LUNCHTIME and for Friday/Saturday by Wednesday LUNCHTIME.

Any questions please dont hesitate to ask.

The menu for the week starting tomorrow is as follows:

Tuesday: Wild West in either standard or large size.

Remember that this is a collection only and no cash system (see previous post) so you need to be on an online tab to order (please inquire if you're not sure) and have a safe place for me to deliver your bread during the day.

Friday and Saturday: Black & White Sesame, NYDR

Friday only: my Lincs plum bread

Order for Tuesday by Monday LUNCHTIME and for Friday/Saturday by Wednesday LUNCHTIME.

Any questions please dont hesitate to ask.

​Dear All


Welcome back to West Street Bakehouse and your weekly supply of sourdough bread in Comberton! A warm welcome to those people who are receiving this email for the first time. I hope you'll enjoy your loaves in the coming weeks and being part of our small but expanding bread community in the West of Cambridge.

A few changes to the business from this week on:

1/ baking days will be Tuesday, Friday and Saturday every week with deadlines for Tuesday bread on Monday LUNCHTIME and Wednesday LUNCHTIME for bread on Friday and Saturday.

2/ Tuesdays will be called Wild West Tuesdays because I'll offer one of two sourdough breads each week: Wild West (white-ish sourdough) one week, Wild West 70% wholegrain the other week, etc. Both available as standard (550g+) or large loaves (900g+).

Tuesday customers will need a safe place for me to leave the bread and go on my tab system where I keep an online tab for your purchases (which you can see and check) and you pay me in arrears when invoiced, once or twice a month depending on how often you buy breads. So this is a no cash and collection only system.


3/ I will offer 2 fancier sourdough breads on Fridays and Saturdays, either a heritage and seedy one, or a seedy one and nutty one, etc. I will keep a very limited capacity for Wild Wests at the end of the week (probably all on Saturday) for those of you who will eat nothing but plain sourdough but my idea long term really is to move all Wild West baking on Tuesdays. I will deliver bread around 7PM on Fridays and 12noon on Saturdays. Collections are still possible on prior arrangement (5-7PM on Fridays and around 1130am on Saturdays).

4/ Lincolnshire plumb bread and other yeasted things, or sweet sourdough breads like the chocolate sourdough, will remain on the Friday menu. No changes there. 

The above is to streamline my process and make sure I can expand the business on my own whilst keeping sane and healthy and carry on baking for the years to come! Any question please let me know. 

An early warning that I'm also planning to go cashless in 2020.

Keep your eyes peeled for the bread menu email which will follow soon.
