Here at the loaf we often get requests from cafés, delis and pubs asking whether we can supply bread to them... if you would like to make an enquiry, then simply contact us on enquiries@theloaf.co.uk
Here are a few wholesale FAQs answered to save you some time...
What do we sell? We sell real bread, nothing more nothing less - All of our breads have been fermented from between 4 and 48 hours, giving each loaf a unique flavour as well as tonnes of nutrients.
Is there a minimum order? In order to qualify for free delivery, we ask for a minimum order of £25, anything below that will cost £5 for delivery. Equally you can come and pick your order up from the bakery in Crich for no extra cost.
When do I have to get my order in by? Unfortunatley... we can't make bread appear out of thin air, so you have to give us plenty of notice because we mix our dough way in advance! 24 hours for yeasted breads, 48 hours for non-yeasted (e.g. Sourdough)
Do we do samples? Of course... have a look over our product list and let us know what you'd like to sample and we'll see what we can do...
Any other questions, or if you would like to make an enquiry, then contact us on enquiries@theloaf.co.uk.
If you fancy becoming a wholesale customer yourself... check out our FAQs and send us an enquiry
Of course our bread is available from our bakery in Crich every day... however here are other outlets where you can pick up our bread from
The Derby Food Assembly at the Greyhound Pub.
