Blackbird Bakery Review


Recommended Posts

continuing the slight aside, david, what's the farmer's market like these days. i went a few years ago when i first moved to ED, and it was pretty thin on the ground - 4 maybe 5 stalls tops. i've never been back.

Still the same I'm afraid. I only go now if I've been unable to get down Lordship Lane on a Saturday.


There is a meat stall - excellent quality, perhaps slightly more expensive than William Rose but not much, but only a very limited selection.


A bread and cake stall - great choice and quality, the best stall there.


Two veg stalls - quality varies but decent value and great seasonal selections


One cheese stall - never tried it but looks ok


Such a shame as it's a great spot outside the library but obviously there just isn't the market (no pun intended) for it.

One of the Bread/cake stalls at the Farmers' Market is in fact the Blackbird stall from NCR! I think this market has detriorated a bit over the years...it used to be great to go there for fresh fruit in season - marvellous cheap strawberries in July and even an "Apple Fair" in September. But the fact is places like Pretty Traditional have pretty well cut this off at the knees now. It is okay as a destination walk on a fine Sunday still.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
