Sainsbury's bakery on Dog Kennel Hill.


Had a weird experience last time I went. I put 2 rolls in a bag and spun it round while holding the corners to seal the bag as you do. Unfortunately I learned that the bottom of their paper bags are extremely weak and the 2 rolls went through the bottom and got launched across the shop much to the unamusement of a passerby.


So I changed the rolls for a seeded crusty baton. Did not regret, it tasted exquisite going into the next day and was finished off the day after.

Wish I could agree with you Twoddle but like Sally I have found white bread these days doughy rather like chewing putty. Push a baton and you finger sinks into it


Why is it crusty bread abroad is just that crusty.


Perhaps it is to do with age you remember how good things were when not mass produced .


Feel you will have a lot of trouble retrying to find bread of yesterday year.

Daft response, but have you tried making a small crusty cobb yourself to get both that fresh baked experience and a bit of shelf life ?


Barry's off-licence often has a few crusty loaves in that last 2 or 3 days, can't guarantee they are white, brown or seeded but worth a look

I have just the thing for crusty white bread - craft butter! I’ve been making small batch craft butter artisian wrapped in muslin and hand tied - I’ll be selling it at the Cheese Block and also at my new pop-up stall on North Cross Road on Saturdays. It’s called ‘Bob’s Best Butter’.

I saw that Peckham Organics in Rye Lane stock your bread so will pop down there and grab a loaf.

    • So if we were to give the council the benefit of the doubt there is a chance this might be net beneficial to Peckham rye? There’s a slim chance someone somewhere has crunched the numbers and not done this purely to annoy us? 
    • In the past such details have always been described as commercially sensitive, which they possibly are. So we've never really known what the deals actually were. And whether they represented value for money for the council, and hence us. 
    • Apologies if this has been asked before. But has the council posted any black and white facts about what income gala brings in and therefore what it funds in the long term?    appreciate it causes a commotion for a few weeks but if it brings in enough revenue to fund the park being a nice place for the rest of the year it feels worth it.   
    • This is a fair point Glemham, although I don't think it is as straightforward as it looks. In essence, the Scheme of Estate Managment 'tithe' goes into maintaining the area, and the costs associated with that, such as planning consents and the like, and as you rightly point out, is ostensibly ring fenced.  However, it seems likely to me that the results of the 'tithe' would impact on the level of commercial rents the Dulwich Estate are able to command, and how much they get when they sell off a piece of land - it is after all a prime area. The 'tithe' is in my view ultimately, even if indirectly, a contributor to the Estate's ability to generate a surplus.  Of that surplus, 85% is directed at the private schools, which seems at odds to me with the spirit of simple instruction of the original Edward Alleyn will to 'educate 12 poor scholars' He didn't suggest they should go to Eton on bursaries. I think the Estate need to be doing far more for local state schools, who are all struggling with estraordinarily tight budgets. I also feel on a personal level uneasy in potentially contributing in any way to an institution such as Dulwich College where the question can be asked - are they struggling to manage successive generational waves of toxicity? The evidence that the Guardian has amassed from the Farage period looks pretty damming to me, and I find the more recent allegations deeply unsettling, although clearly they have been subject to less scrutiny.
