Our story

Started with one oven and a 48-hour dough

Chef Lucía Ferro and Daniel Osei opened in an old bakery on Mill Lane in 2019 and kept the brick oven that came with it. The dough still rests for two days, the menu still changes with what the farms bring on Tuesday.

Most of the room is walk-in. We hold a third of the tables for neighbours who just turn up.
