Hi Mustard On the Sunday you mean? That was Patisserie Ecossaise - gorgeous stall. https://www.wearepopup.com/b/04be998/ He doesn't yet have a website and we've just got a personal phone number for him, but if you send us a private message with your email I will forward to him for you if you like?

Thanks so much to everyone who came to The Nunhead Bite! It was a fabulous weekend. Vegan cakes were Cozmic Cookiez Cakez and you can find them on twitter @CozmicCC The curly chips on a stick were by Super Chip www.super-chip.co.uk - really amazing.

Yes we are part funded by Southwark Council as part of the Nunhead Festivals Project.

Yes the Christmas event entry fee was for a donation to the Kids Company. We've also made donations from the entry fee to Pecan, Peckham's Food Bank at past events. Munch - The Peckham Festival was free entry, as is The Nunhead Bite. It would be lovely to see you there for fun and frolics.

Yes we did charge in our first year - partly in support of partner charities and partly to help fund the whole event which is extraordinarily expensive. We didn't want to charge folks, was simply the only way for the event to exist, and so as soon as we had grown enough to build up some funding and make the event free we did! Haven't charged for our public events in over a year and don't plan to again!

Dear Mustard, It is definitely free entry to all our events, we hope to see you there! Best, Pexmas
