It is August, the sun is back, and after a long battle with Nick and Nerys I have been finally given the secret key (password) to the Slow Rise socials (just IG cause honestly I feel too old for Tiktok) and so I (Bet btw, hi) am currently on my break eating my bagel and showing you the DELICIOUS specials that have made their first appearance today at the bakery 🥁

Will you LOOK AT THAT! So much fruity gluten extravaganzza, cream bun of tropical dreams, brie and 10/10 tomatoes for this month posh cheese & pickle, and all the usual bagels you guys know all about 🫶🏻🥯

Here until 3pm and more tomorrow 9:30-3! Come say hi 👋🏻

We’ll be open as usual Saturday 20th but we will be closed on Sunday 21st June as Nick will be jaunting off to Norfolk with me (Nerys) to go look at beaver dams, eat fish and chips and stare into the glorious unending horizon of Holkham beach. Not ashamed of that itinerary tbh.

The team will be able to pick up the reins for Tuesday as usual, so just one day to miss us but seriously, Norfolk’s got it all.

See you when we’re back x

A quick one to say we are shut Tuesday April 14th because atm the kitchen is in disarray while we do some big moves to fit a bigger oven in there.

Short term pain, long term gain, promise. And we will be back as usual on Weds 15th, full of gratitude for your patience as always and indeed, ever. Xx

A little message with a big sorry to say we’re gonna be closed this Sunday 8th March.

Nick like the rest of us is human and despite trying to sometimes prove the contrary and avoid this fact, sometimes it stares you dead in the eye until you say “yeah I need a breath”. I’ve therefore banned him from the premises tomorrow and unfortunately no one can bake in his place then.

I am really sorry cos we both hate letting anyone down, especially our team and especially you all. That said, I hope you’ll support my efforts in ensuring my partner doesn’t spontaneously combust. I’d long term prefer to keep him in one piece as I’m sure many others would.

We’ll be back to usual next week. In the meantime here’s a pic of burnt cinnamon buns because like life, sometimes it happens.

Thank you always for your understanding x

COME WORK WITH US!

We are sadly having to bid farewell to the supremely talented Lilz as they embark on the next stage of their journey to illustration world domination (seriously check out their work because that is one serious talent we love so very much)

And so that means an opening has arisen in our Back of House coven. Alongside the rest of our team, you’ll be responsible for creating our beloved bagels and bakes and helping us to ensure we’re always delivering the goods that power the good ship Slow Rise.

You’ll be passionate about baking with demonstrable experience of baking to spec with an emphasis on consistency and quality. You’ll enjoy working in a small team and contributing ideas for ongoing improvements in the way we work. You’ll be fine with smelling of bagels on the way home, you’ll be positive and proactive and while you may not be completely trained in food hygiene you’ll be able to grasp the knowledge and documentation required to ensure you’re compliant. You’ll get a lot of on the job training to make sure you know how to nail our bagels and bakes, you’ll be able to communicate effectively and help us stay on top of stock and you’ll also be comfortable working under your own steam and as part of a friendly and busy team on shift.

We will provide a respectful work environment that recognises and encourages work life balance and pay in line with your experience but of course above minimum wage. We’re looking for between 24-30 hours with weekend work a part of this mix.

Alongside that you’ll receive paid holiday and breaks, obviously free bagels and bakes when available and a supportive workplace that functions between the hours of 7am-9pm (you’ll never work a shift that long, promise)

If you’re interested, please send us a CV, cover letter giving us a tantalising overview of yourself and why you want to work for us to slowrisebagels (@) gmail (dot) com (no DMs pls pls pls)

So just a quick one to say we’ll have a temporary opening hours adjustment for Weds 28th Jan, with Slow Rise being open from 9:00-12:30pm only for one day only.

The shop is closed in the afternoon which is why we’re cutting lunchtime short. So if you do wanna snaffle yourself your lunch, make sure you come early and we’ll do our best to get you fed before closing time x
