Ooh, yes, that happened to me too- a very disappointing surprise upon getting home and opening the box.


My piece was also cut unevenly so it was missing a bit off the top as well. I thought I was just unlucky. I was too tired to go all the way back and complain so I just won't be buying cake from there again.


I still miss Homemade.

As the other posters described, the cake was cut and put in the box out of view and it was only when I got home that I found out the size of the slice. The cake was delicious and I'm not quibbling at the price per se. ?3 is a perfectly reasonable price to pay but I would have expected more than a sample size. In fact if the cake's value is really ?3 for a thin slice then they should charge more but give a proper slice. After all it's a treat and that's what the customer expects!

I have to admit after one visit to the Lordship Lane branch I swore I'd never go in there again.


?3.50 for a takeout coffee - small decaf soya cappuccino. They charge 50p extra for soya and 50p extra for decaf.


Next time I got a takeout coffee I went to The Chandelier - it was at least ?1 less and I think it was a larger cup too.

    • I understand that, but I can't really grasp how it works in practice, but never mind 😵‍💫
    • It's local independent shops supporting one another.
    • Adding my recommendation for Niko too. Found his number on here and he came out at short notice on a busy weeknight to help us with a kitchen sink issue that had flooded our kitchen that day. Really helpful, responsive and went out of his way to fit us in and help us out. Very reasonably priced too - would thoroughly recommend!
    • Looks like it! Though according to the OP, they are "golden, hand-crimped parcels  packed with flavour" 😀 I don't understand. Admittedly my brain is functioning at a very low level at the moment. Does that mean various local shops get together and agree to offer a discount to anyone who shows them a receipt from one of the other ones dated the same day? I can't see what's in it for either of them, unless people shop somewhere they wouldn't otherwise have done just to get the discount. Is it for vaguely  linked things, say cheese from a cheese shop, wine from another shop? Showing my age there.  And then suppose it's always the same shop which people go to second to get the discount? What's in it for the first shop? People go there in order to get the discount in the second shop?
