Truly Scrumptious

[ozzy]

Hi I work in Truly Scrumptious ,what if anything would you like to see sold here ,i.e. types of bread or cakes not already sold . What would entice you to come and shop here ? thanks in advance :)

[Cedges]

Gluten free products would be helpful when feeding my friends...

[ozzy]

Anything in particular Cedges ?

[Pickle]

The cakes in the window, in the sunshine, tend to put me off a bit. Maybe think of a way to rearrange the shop so that you don't have products displayed that way?

[ozzy]

Space is limited ,not sure how that could be remedied ,thank for input I will pass it on :)

[Pickle]

That said, my kids were bought gingerbread men from your shop a couple of weeks ago, and they were very nice :)

Hi Ozzy, I like your new sign and I've been intrigued to see whether you would be changing the types of cakes you sell at all as a result. My son and I both miss the portuguese natas that the ED deli used to sell and would definitely buy them from you as I don't think anywhere else on the lane does them.

i would kill for a rum barba use to get them in the 70s but can't find them any more.

[ozzy]

Since the new owners have taken over ,we are now stocking many new types of cake and are open to more suggestions . I do know the owner reads this now and I'm sure he will look into new ideas , Thanks all for your comments :)

Organic sliced bread would be super as I have to order mine from Ocado .

[Bumpkin]

Ken, take a peek in the newly re-banded 'organic village' and you may just find a rum baba, saw one the other week for the first time in years!

[Cedges]

Not specifically ozzy no but I guess anything slightly more adventurous than polenta cake or flourless brownie would be great and maybe baps or something similar for use with your sandwich counter would be good or gf pizza slices/sausage rolls. To go c.f. Foods is pretty non existent around here!

Hi ozzy - has the new owner bought the whole chain, or just Hirsts/TS?

I'd love to see you sticking with the British classics. Think chelsea buns, eccles cakes, welsh cakes, bakewell tarts, treacle tarts, shortbread. The kind of stuff we all grew up with, done well. Maybe instead of trying to increase the range, you should be streamlining it and concentrating on the good stuff. TBH a couple of things in the window put me off, like the ice cream cone things (don't mean to sound negative, just my opinion).

[Siduhe]

Apologies for off-topic but Bonne Mamman do a decent rum baba - in the dessert section at Sainsbury DKH.

[Nigello]

Seconded re standard classics - good scones (that don't taste of bicarb and are dry); parkin; egg custards (like big Portuguese custards with higher sides); chocolate eclairs; Eccles/Chorley cakes

HI KEN 78.

You can get "Rum Babas" from the Turkish restaurant called Kapadoka at 44 Peckham Rye SE15

[Mustard]

London cheesecakes.

Seen some rum babas in the Village Grocer/Turkish shop on LL near Goose Green.

Can recommend the Portuguese tarts at the Portuguese cafe on Camberwell Church Street.

[DulwichFox]

I noticed that the new shop has no bread in the window.. and not much evidence of bread inside. ??

Are they now mainly a cake shop. ?

[Jeremy]

Portuguese egg tarts are also good from Viva and Trio (not tried the Portuguese cafe but have always meant to pop in). You can also get rum babas from the new-yet-rather-old-skool cake shop/cafe on Rye Lane whose name escapes me.

Second vote here for more gluten free goods! Possibly a gluten free loaf would be good, and definitely some food to go (like the pizza slices etc as suggested!)

[ozzy]

Old style cakes ,we do already sell Eccles, Chelsea buns , London cheesecakes , bread pudding and so on ,oh yea and eggs custards lol .

Speciality breads coming soon !

[ozzy]

Theron ,I have been informed that we do stock a gluten free loaf called G.I and its multi seeded :)

[ozzy]

New speciality bread in store now !

Multi Grain /Multi Seed :A combination of sourdough amd mature dough with the addition of rye flour, rolled oats and an organic multi-seed blend.

White & Rye : Organic dark rye sourdough mixed with organic untreated white flour , organic seeds and organic fresh yeast combine to create delicious white seeded bread.

Friesian Dark Rye : This is a traditional recipe from an area of Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands known as Friesia . It is made over 3 days using organic dark rye sourdough as a starter and then adding layers of taste with more rye, organic wholemeal, additional chopped rye seeds and organic multi-seed mix. Finally a little natural unrefined molasses is added to counter the sourdough and brings the taste to a perfect balance . Will keep for upto a week .

Roggenbrot : A strong rye sourdough in the German tradition which has a clear sour flavour of this style of bread. It also benefits from the natural goodness of easily digested rye beloved by seasoned Europeans and is packed with the natural nutrients of overnight soaked wholegrain rye flour .

As well as our much loved multi-seeded G.I. loaf, Honey & Spelt bread , Granary, Wholemeal & our various types of white bread .

We take orders for any of our bread . So please pop in and see what we have to offer you .
