Hello I’m Cath, a home baker in Bewdley, Worcestershire. I’ve been delivering my homemade sourdough loaves, fresh veggie soups and sweet treats within Bewdley, Kidderminster & Stourport since February 2020. I’m a supporter of The Real Bread Campaign and I don’t use any nuts in my food.

Baked, cooked, delivered, it’s yours

I save you time by cooking and baking handcrafted sourdoughs, hearty vegetable based soups, homemade cakes, cookies, cupcakes, brownies and more. I then deliver to your door each Thursday between 3 and 5pm. You don’t even need to be at home. All packaging is reusable, recyclable or compostable. I have zero food waste, as I cook and bake to your orders.

I’ve been delivering to my local community of Bewdley, Stourport-on-Severn and Kidderminster since February 2020. I have a variety of customers, from families, those working from home, couples, those caring for others, single people, retired people, people at work more than home, other business owners. Everyone is welcome.

Subscribers say they like not having to cook for one or more meal a week. Some people dive into the sourdough as soon as it arrives, along with the soup and treats. Others pop the soup in the fridge and make the sourdough last for most of the week for tasty breakfast toast and creations. The treats may disappear very quickly, if you have a sweet tooth. But many say they are generous portions, so four slices can often be turned in to eight! The balance of having a nutritious soup, a real bread loaf and a treat is what is often appreciated. For more customer feedback click on the feedback page or visit my Facebook page review section.

Being a subscriber is a great thing. It simply means that you know how many deliveries you have ordered and paid for (4 or 12) and that I will email you towards the end date to see if you want to place another order. You also receive my quarterly newsletter to keep you up to date with my home kitchen news and I often include a recipe for you to try. Use the orange navigation lines near the top of this page to click on the links about subscription bundles and more.

I am a supporter of The Real Bread campaign and I am permitted to display the real bread loaf mark. This assures you that I do not use additives that do not belong in real bread and sourdough. I don’t use any nuts or nut derivatives in my food too. The result is bread that is hand crafted, using a long fermentation process, from my homemade sourdough starters. The prebiotics in this are said to be good for gut health and it’s tasty! The additives and under proved dough of mass produced breads are left behind. Instead you get the care of a real and fresh craft food delivered to your door.

My fresh soups are made from different produce each week from the local farm shop. Sweet treats are one variety at each delivery. You get 4 pieces to indulge in each week. Sourdough croissants and pain au chocolate are available at the farmer’s markets and events I sell at – find more details of dates at the bottom of this page. To find out more about what’s included in a subscription, how to enquire about delivery and how to subscribe click on the the navigation line options at the top of this page on the right.
