Hi does anyone know anything about Harri?s kitchen that?s replacing Badger Bakery? I saw it was getting refurbished but just seen on their Facebook page that it?s been sold and it?s now going to be Harri?s kitchen. Does anyone know is it still going to be a bakery or just a cafe now? Won?t be the same without Badgers. Thanks

We used to be regular customers at Badgers for many years but noticed that when they branched out to selling meals, they stocked less and less bakery products especially bread. Hubby would go in early morning to find all sold out of bread, other times he was given a loaf free as it was left over from the day before and they were not allowed to sell it. One server admitted that they rarely had more than 10 or 12 loaves each day and this included bread which they used for sandwiches.

Food was good - friends who used the Bread of Life Caf? in Christ Church, used to go to Badgers at the weekend for meals when BoL were closed.

It seemed to have lost its niche as a general baker when the Sainsbury's appeared. Though the core range (cakes, pastries and sandwiches) stayed more or less the same, there were notable disappearances. I know many were sad to see the green fondant frogs disappear, followed by the framlingtons and, eventually, the currant buns. But the eccles, the turnovers, the cornish pasties and even the spinach and ricotta slice, kept going throughout.


I don't know about the sandwich side of things, but it seems to have been well-used as a cafe, and the wooden terrazza out front has been very popular with the funeral directors, who can keep an eye on the door of the church while guzzling their elevenses. Inside, it became an actual place, a temperant alternative to the Plough and more nourishing than the Library.


I hope it'll do well. The new owners have extended the kitchen and hope to concentrate on the food, rather than the bakery which wasn't doing well with all the competition. But the Badger Bakery will live on, to some extent, with its name immortalised in the railings. I don't think they'd noticed as, when I asked, they said they were next-door's railings, which clearly makes no sense. But senseless or not they will, until rust takes them, bear witness to the commercial archaeology of one of Dulwich's most recognisable minor junctions.

Oh thanks, I'll have a look, never noticed Scotch pies in there.


I think I'll give the green frogs a miss though :))

Went in there yesterday to get a take away sandwich - no menu on outside and managed to squeeze in the shop (several people waiting for service) all I could see was bacon sandwich ?3.90 all the other sandwiches were ?5.90 What was in the I could not see as writing too small to determine from the distance I was from the board. Friends also went on launch day and said they were very busy and some orders got muddled up.

I second this statement. My hubby and I both had Eggs Royale at Harri?s kitchen and it was delicious. They had a range of breads and cup cakes which looked yum but we didn?t have space for them. My hubby was happy to have gluten free bread with his eggs too. The patio area is pleasant; catches lots of sun :-)

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
