Greggs in Dulwich Village

[PaulDV]

A branch of Greggs the baker is to open in one of the vacant units in Dulwich Village I?m reliably informed. It wil be opposite Gail?s next to the new butchers or in the old Audi showroom. I?d be interested to know how some of the more well to do DV residents feel about a cheap Northern bakers opening up in the Village.

Fine.. Greggs have been providing affordable bread for nearly 80 years.

If only they were called something more sophisticated, like Gregory & Gregory...

I stopped going to Gail's after I formally requested that they covered the food on the central table as there are often flies crawling on the cakes and sandwiches.

Head office said they took my health concerns seriously.

Last time I went in to Gail's in Dulwich Village and Wimbledon there was no coverings and nothing had changed.

So, I will be happy to exchange my spinach and taleggio quiche for a Greggs sausage roll any day.

It's all about respecting your customers, folks!

Could we have further information about the 'reliable source' please, sounds like a wind up to me,

This might actually get me to visit the Village, have to admit a liking for their sandwiches. I think they?re not bad.

If it sends local snobs into fits of apoplexy at the sale of Tottenham slices then so much the better!

More than that, it?s a major EHO violation. You can get in serious trouble for that, I?m astonished they don?t cover them.

That's brilliant - they will do a roaring trade.

I can just imagine the mornings, 'Just popping out for a run, darling....." and secretly scoffing a bacon buttie on the way home.... seems to appeal more than a fly-egg infested slice of cold quiche

If that was aimed at me, I was actually eating Frosties at the time...

Ordinary Cornflakes not good enough for you then!...

Report them to the Souhtwark Food Team.

I'd never actually heard of Tottenham slices / Tottenham cake before. But it looks good... like something I need to eat.

You can't beat a Manchester Tart...

Too soggy! Also not sweet enough. Waitrose doesn't seem to sell them: how middle class is that?

PS - now having late lunch of Jamie Oliver Morroccan grains (Sainsbury's special offer) with baby leaf salad (Morrisons), avocado and soy sauce ( both Lidl). What class am I now?

[Jules-and-Boo]

so - is it true?

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

I find hardly any of the coffee shops/cafes/bakeries around here cover their cakes and pastries. It?s always by the door enticing the flies, or by the till with people talking over it. No thank you.

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Love the London cheesecake from Greggs.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Given the new CEO of the Dulwich Estate was involved in the development of Borough Market, a Gregg's seems unlikely, J&B. Isn't there supposed to be a little Waitrose in the plan, or was that a wind-up as well?

Dulwich born and bread?

[Saffron]

Not a patch on Percy Ingle

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Definitely but gluten doesn?t like me anymore but I still give in to the lure of bread now and again!
