Bread and eggs

We set ourselves high standards when bringing you even the basics in organic foodstuffs.  We carefully select an impressive range of organic breads, from your bog standard sliced loaf to speciality olive and salt encrusted foccaccia, all from excellent local bakeries by which we are lucky to be surrounded.  And our eggs are still some of the cheapest in town.  We’ve got local free range eggs from a farm in the Chew Valley and organic eggs from just over the Welsh border.
