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.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
