No-one wants to think about Christmas while we’re in (probably) the last heatwave of the year, but there’s one very important festive job we need to do this month – make the filling for our legendary mince pies!

Apples are one of the key ingredients and we always like to source them from our regular customers. If you have a windfall happening in your garden and don’t know what to do with them, bring them to Loaf and we’ll add them to the mix. All varieties are welcome, from cookers to eaters to crab.

Last year we had more than we could deal with so we’re limiting donations to next week only – Wednesday 13th to Saturday 16th. Any excess will be found a home with one of the local jam or cider makers, or failing that, expect lots of apple-related goodies in our sweets display.
