Truly Scrumptious aka Hirst Bakery

[ozzy]

Just wanted to say how great the shop looks now and how helpful all the staff are ,so informative and friendly . I had a freshly made cheese salad sandwich and a slice of their new caramel shortbread which was the best I have tasted ,its so nice to have somewhere that does such a huge range of freshly made sandwiches and salads ( not all this pre-packed rubbish .I also had a latte ,which was much cheaper than starbucks and tasted a lot nicer and at ?1.75 was a real bargain for Dulwich . I would definitely recommend going here if you like traditional shops that ,fresh produce and not mass produced .

Surely no one will notice such amazing reviews three years apart and start to suspect something may be not what it seems? Will they?

[DulwichFox]

Yes, I spotted the new signage. I thought at first it was a completely new business.

Had a quick peer in only to see the same staff still serving.

Always helpful and very friendly.. Freshly made sandwiches made to order..

It would seem where staff have been around for a while that they must be happy in their work.

More shops like that please.

Hirsts - or whatever it's called now - is old school, and that's not always a bad thing. I quite like the way it's like walking past a kids party from 1983, complete with chocolate cornflake cakes, and fairy cakes with hundreds-and-thousands. (Badger is a branch of the same chain I think, but doesn't quite have the same kitsch appeal).

In a similar vein, there's a newish place on Rye Lane called "Munch & Crunch", which offers an authentic 80s vibe and product range. I'm a fan.

'Truly Scrumptious'.

Whose idea was this? It's criminal.

I bet you've got a nice little advertising jingle in your head, Bob.
