Loaf catering runs six cafés – three in Belfast, Loaf at the Ulster Museum, The Bobbin and our Café Bakery on Grosvenor Road.  We have a pottery in Crawfordsburn, Co Down and we are at the Ulster Folk Museum in Holywood and the Ulster American Folk Park in Omagh

The Pottery is located on Main Street in Crawfordsburn on the site of the former Pinewood Pottery. NOW Group secured funding from Ards and North Down Borough Council, Ulster Garden Villages, the Coastal Communities Fund and George Best Belfast City Airport to renovate the space after being contacted by local residents who were keen to see the pottery restored and open to the community again.

The Pottery offers a variety of activities including arts classes and drop in Paint Me, Glaze Me workshops. Our café serves great coffee, deli sharing boards, artisan wood fired pizzas and Loaf’s award winning sausage rolls. Our pizza and pottery nights are a big favourite so remember to book early.

If you're local, visiting family or friends or working at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Loaf Café & Bakery is a good place to relax and take some time out. Try our famous Loaf sausage rolls with secret recipe relish, social soup with mini wheaten bread, ALL DAY FRY or tempt yourself with a traybake or bun all made by our inhouse bakers. We know you're gonna love it!

We're a social enterprise supporting people with learning disabilities and autism get training and jobs in the catering industry. We are building a new community of food lovers and people interested in using their money to make an impact. 

Loaf Cafés are serving up award-winning sausage rolls and other locally sourced, freshly prepared dishes as well as a selection of hot drinks and sweet treats.

Buying from Loaf makes a real difference to the lives of the people who participate in our training and employment programmes.

The café is open seven days a week serving a wide range of breakfast and lunch options to tourists and locals alike. Popular items include our range of freshly made sandwiches on artisan bread and our traditional Irish stew. There’s also a special menu for kids.
