Our three sourdoughs (white sour; many seeded sour; pain de campagne) use a part-rye starter but we don't currently do a 100% rye; that's coming later in the year. Was Peckham Rye a 100% rye sourdough?

I just got the Cooper's Bakehouse bread as it was recommended here by many people(bought it in The Proud Sow in Dulwich Village). It is very good - I can honestly recommend it to everyone who - like me - was a fan of the Brick House 'Peckham Rye' loaf.


Franklins on LL used to sell bread from Brick House - might be worth for the Cooper's bakery to contact them to see if they could now take their bread instead.

Franklins announced they are now selling bread from The snapery on their instagram ... will definitely be trying some as heard its pretty good.

My yard is opposite The Snapery, they?re nice people. (they make a great chocolate brioche bun 👍🏽💥)


It?s a shame about Brickhouse, on many levels, but the product from the above people is in the same spirit of making bread that Fergus and his team created.


Well done to Franklins on supporting a SE London craft bakery (they?re based in South Bermondsey btw)

Such a shame about Brickhouse. Will really miss their Peckham Rye as well as the cafe.


Paul Rhodes in Greenwich make beautiful artisanal bread which they sell in their own shop as well as supplying to many high end restaurants and catering business I believe... I wonder if they could make an outlet in ED work? There's definitely an appetite for it (pun not intended...)


Will get to Franklins to try some Snapery Bread - always heard good things about it

It seems a shame, since they are evidently such good breadmakers, that they didn't pursue an alternative business model of solely baking in a non-retail premise (potentially much cheaper to rent) and wholesaling their bread through retail outlets - clearly both Snapery and Paul Rhodes operate a wholesale model (if with a retail one), as they did. That would have given them operational space to find appropriate (cost/ location) retail outlets whist maintaining some demand.

That's how they started out (Tyrrell Road estate). I'm sure they considered to returning to such a model. Maybe they just didn't have the heart to start again.

That makes you chuckle?.

Much as I'll miss the Brickhouse, I never really got over the loss of the antique market that used to be on the site. That one, and the one off North Cross road were some of my favourite shops to visit on weekends, but we don't have anything like that now.


I hope that by some miracle the site is able to host lots of smaller shops again.

To keep diverting the conversation down this tangent, I did cycle pass something the other day called the 'Winsor Antique Emporium' near the plough pub. I haven't been in yet, but it may be the last surviving shop of its kind round here.

Yes-I miss those shops too-much more catering to my taste and budget than the bland shops opening in the area now..sometimes it feels like the area has morphed into Fulham and become awfully bland in the process!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
