About Us

We have been Baking Bread in Kenilworth since 2011. Open every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Baking everything from scratch. If your lucky, the Bread may still be warm from the oven.

We’re not a high street baker and don’t have loads of frozen loaves hidden away ready to pull out as if by magic. We bake all our breads on the day from dough made from scratch. If you want to make sure you get your favourite bread before we run out then place an order online and we’ll hold it for you.

The Crustum Brand was set up by Nick Wood in 2011 who trained out currant Baker Giles Vacy-Ash. In 2018 Giles purchased the Crustum Brand from Nick and has remained the Owner and Head Baker.

So why not pop in and see what we have. We can promise the tantalizing Fragrance of Bread is free.

We were overjoyed to be part of Adam Swords video project, We Are Warwickshire. The video features Crustum founder, Nick Wood. The past owner and baker, Giles Vacy-Ash, was trained by Nick and carries on the business in the same traditions.

Our Flour

We love FWP Matthews flour. Love it.

The mill is owned and run by Paul and Graham Matthews the great, great grandsons of the founder Frederick William Powell Matthews.

Situated on the edge of the beautiful Cotswold hills in the village of Shipton under Wychwood their traditional mill produces a wide range of quality organic and conventional flours.

They still use the original building that was completed in 1912 and source as much wheat locally as possible and then carefully blend it with other wheats to produce flour of the highest quality.

We also love the flour from Karl at Charlecote Mill.
