Burcott Mill

Mill open daily for visitors, for flour and bread sales, although mill not always in operation. We use the water power to grind wholemeal flour (Coarse, Fine or Extra Fine), and spelt flour.

Finally got around to trying out my soda bread recipe - went quite well, the loaf is a little heavy but tasted great with lashings of butter! Next time I think I'll add a little less liquid as the dough was so sticky that I nearly baked my ring in the loaf as I hadn't realised it had come off my finger!

WE NEED YOUR HELP! As most of you know, Steve bakes every morning except Sunday, and many local people are big fans of his wholemeal and spelt breads. Sadly we will have to stop baking soon, unless we can find a supply of the FAST ACTING DRIED YEAST that we need. If anyone local is in a supermarket/shop and spots some of the right kind, please buy for us and we will pay you back. We really don't want to disappoint our regular bread buyers. Thanks in advance for your help (it must be fast acting dried yeast) x

We received a tonne of grain yesterday - busy milling day. We now have 1.5kg bags of coarse, fine and extra fine wholemeal flour. Max 2 bags per visit to ensure we have enough daily stock for everyone. If you want a larger sack or several bags give us a call or email [email protected], and we can help you with a special order. We are open Mon-Sat 10-3pm

18/04/2020

We are out of stock of flour today, and waiting for a grain delivery. We should be back on track with our wholemeal flour and spelt flour early next week....will keep you informed.

Nearly everyone visiting us for flour has been following our social distancing signs - thank you. If we ask you to stand in a certain place, or to step back - we don't mean to be bossy we just want to keep our customers and ourselves safe. We have had a couple of customers today being extremely rude to us - thank goodness they are in the minority. Thank you all for supporting our little mill at this challenging time.
