Keeping it simple, doing it proper.

Loafi opened on 1st August 2025. Rich Sharples and the Loafi team have more than 30 years experience running great kitchens across the Northwest. In 2025 they decided to ‘tap-out’ of restaurants and use that knowledge to build a bakery that focuses on the simple things we all know and love.

Custard tarts, Eccles cakes, Bakewell slices and more. Sandwiches on oven bottom muffins with house-made meats like corned beef and potted ham or, small production artisan cheeses with interesting chutneys and pickles.

We bake long fermented sourdough loaves using organic flours and on the counter you’ll find a sausage roll that we’re pretty proud of.

We bake in small batches early every morning, once it’s gone it’s gone.
