We believe that this slowly risen loaf makes the best toast in the world. Made using Shipton Mill's stoneground flour, the dough is mixed in the afternoon and left to slowly ferment overnight to bring out its full flavour and character.
Its namesake comes from the Cotswold village of Sherston, home of the original recipe.
The village of Sherston, Wiltshire lends its name to this unique overnight loaf. Back in 1983 when Mr Thompson the village baker retired. It was discovered that he, along with other traditional bakers, had developed a special way of fermenting the dough and catching up on sleep at the same time. The dough was placed in a large trough and he slept on the lid until the rising dough lifted the lid and tipped him off.The Sherston Bread is great in the morning, toasted and loaded with marmalade or jam. Wonderful for proper bacon sandwiches.

This is a real treat :)1 person found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?2 years agoVerified CustomerTony WilliamsKeighley, United KingdomI recommend this productSherston LoafIt's good, and definitely nicer than a supermarket loaf. But in the small town where I live there's an independent baker whose bread is almost as good, but two thirds of the price. In Andover, about six miles away, there's another independent baker whose bread is about the same price as the Sherston, and is excellent. I would recommend trying the Sherston if you're placing an order for other items as well.1 person found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?3 years agoVerified CustomerBeth PorterI recommend this productSherston LoafWhat a fab tasting loaf - great for sandwiches and toast, too!1 person found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?3 years agoVerified CustomerDenise EvansRotherham, United KingdomI recommend this productSherston LoafArrived fresh so l could freeze. Lovely tasteWas this review helpful?3 years agoVerified CustomerVicki B.Sherston LoafDelicious bread, we slice the loaf and freeze it. Thick cut for toast on Saturday's, thinner cut for chicken sandwiches and summer puddings and then breadcrumb some of it for stuffings. Just the best white bread - properly made and just like the bread from our baker in the 50's!1 person found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?3 years agoVerified CustomerJennifer G.Sherston LoafI really enjoyed this bread, it was tasted like real bread from childhood and also made lovely toast.Was this review helpful?4 years agoVerified CustomerHelen W.Sherston LoafWow... this is a pure visual delight, and what a treat. I can only imagine this is what homemade bread would be like if i could make it. Perfect for lots of fillings as it is a hardy slice capable of holding everything together and not falling to pieces. I love tuna salad in this loaf.Was this review helpful?5 years agoVerified CustomerJanet L.Sherston LoafWhat a lovely treat it was when this delicious loaf arrived with our Piper’s order.Was this review helpful?5 years agoVerified CustomerHelena A.Sherston LoafThis was the first loaf I bought, The latest loaf was a Sourdough loaf, they were both very goodWas this review helpful?5 years agoVerified CustomerC R.Sherston LoafThis was beautiful, even though timing meant I’d had to freeze it when it arrived.
