Welcome to our website! To help us manage the unprecedented levels of demand we have implemented some temporary measures to our online shop.
DELIVERIES MAY TAKE UP TO 7 WORKING DAYS TO DISPATCH
To read more about Shipton Mill and our flours click the "Close" button at the bottom of this page.
We have split our shop in to two separate parts, to help us to get your order to you more quickly. Should you want to order both large sacks and small bags please use the flour direct shop.
The Flour Direct Shop continues as before, listing our range of flours both in small 1.0kg bags and the larger 25kg and 16kg sacks.
The new Sack Shop, only sells our range of 16kg and 25kg sacks of flour.
For these unusual times we are running a system of delivery slots for each shop. To start shopping, you need to have a delivery slot.
Delivery slots are released throughout the day, although due to the demand it can be difficult to get one. Please bear with us. If you would like to place an order, please follow the below steps:
IMPORTANT - please note:
Whilst not ideal, these measures allow us to keep delivering a steady flow of flour to as many people as possible. We are sorry we can’t take everyone’s order, and we are doing our very best. For any urgent queries not answered below, please contact us on enquiries@shipton-mill.com.
For our Micro bakeries and community bakeries who are striving to feed the community, we will continue to offer your full range of flours, please call the Mill on 01666 505050 and speak with Rebekah or Louise if you cannot order what you need though the website.
Thank you for bearing with us during this difficult time, we are very grateful for all your support. We hope you are all keeping safe and well and we are excited to be able to help get you and the family baking at home.
The Shipton Millers
Delivery slots are not released at a set time.
The slots are released throughout the day to prevent the website from crashing. When we have hit our maximum capacity for what we can pack and despatch that day we stop releasing the slots. The next batch of slots is released upon completion of the previous.
This system, whilst not ideal, enables us to keep the online shop open and ensures we do not have to close the shop again to clear any backlog.
We are not able to bypass the website ordering system or accept orders through social media. We are very sorry if you have not been able to get a slot yet, please keep trying. We hope as Supermarkets get back into stock with flour, pressure on our site will reduce and we will be able to send out your order much more swiftly.
We are releasing a fresh batch of orders every day, throughout each day, to our maximum capacity. We are very sorry if you have not been able to get a slot, but we are unable to take a larger amount of daily orders at present while remaining open at the same time.
Please do keep checking back as more slots will be released every day going forwards. The demand has been so high we are not able to get to everyone, but we are doing our best to make sure we get flour to as many people as possible.
We are also working on increasing our capacity in the next two weeks to allow us to take more orders which should mean it will become easier to obtain a slot.
Slots are released every day, in batches, until we hit our capacity for what we can pack and despatch that day. If you don’t get a slot one day, please do try again the next.
Our online shop is open, but with the above queuing system in place. This prevents the website from crashing and filters orders through at a rate we are able to pack and despatch until we hit capacity for that day.
If you can’t see any order slots it does not mean we have closed, there will just be a wait time until we have completed the previous batch of orders to release more slots.
Door sales are once again up and running please call in advance to arrange collection. 01666 505050.
We have not closed, please do check back as more order slots will be made available as soon as we have completed the previous batch.

A favourite and very easy recipe for pasta with a pasta machine -- delicious with simple sauce
Pasta at home requires just a little planning but very little technique. It is helpful, though not necessary, to have a pasta machine to cut the dough.
If you use large eggs, the ratio for a good texture is one egg per 100g of flour.
I recommend using half Shipton Mill '00' Italian flour and half bread flour, but I have used all bread flour as well, or semolina, or a mix, and the results are still good.
Ingredients
For four people, use:
600g flour (mix 450g Italian '00' flour and 150g bread flour, or 3:1 ratio, if possible)
6 large eggs (for medium eggs, adjust flour quantities, e.g. 5 eggs and 450g flour)
Two good pinches of salt
Method
Work the ingredients together with a scraper for about 5-7 minutes, until completely integrated into a fairly smooth ball. If it is very dry, add 15g water or olive oil to adjust, and if overly sticky, add a similar amount of flour.
Rest the dough for 30 minutes.
Divide it into 16 or 20 balls, then roll each one through the pasta machine, dust with semolina to keep the sheets from sticking to each other on a plate.
[If making the pasta by hand, roll the balls out with a roller or pestle, and then in the next step, just cut into strips with a knife].
Boil a generous pan of salted water, cut the sheets into your desired pasta form (we love wide tagliatelle).
Cook for about 2 minutes. When the pasta starts to rise to the surface, it's ready.
Serve with your favourite sauce. Wild garlic pesto is unbeatable when it's in season.
