Yes, these are the best mince pies ever!

I have had these and they are excellent. Not been anywhere near one this year.

Maybe it's fresh lemon or orange instead of candied peel. Will try the Blackbird ones soon.

60 pence each seems reasonable. The ones from Violet Cakes in East London are ?3 each, and from Bread Ahead at Borough Market ?2.50. Haven't tried the last two yet. Saw some teeny tiny ones at Bambuni that were ?1 each.

I had one with a coffee today, after my trip back from The Fat Duck in Bray


Ha what fun!

    • Luckily I'm at the bottom of the Rye in the Gardens so fortunately not too put out by the noise. I doubt it's very pleasant if you live closer. My issue is about the councils seemingly underhand way of communicating and dealing with local residents concerns and opinions. Basically these type of events go ahead regardless. That to me is a bit snide, dishonest and not how a council should treat its residents. There's a fair bit of damage done to the park and all for the benefit/ profit of a private company and PR consultants/ professional bullshitters.
    • I asked why you go in given that you'd rather it closed because it doesn't provide for your needs.  I have never seen the till not being manned, ever.There are also self service checkouts. Many of the brand sweets and crisps are smaller in size. I guess that's why they cost less to buy.
    • Hi Everyone,  I am an architecture student from the US, and am currently studying the Dawson's Heights Estate. I am having a hard time finding materials to study, so I was wondering if anyone would happen to have any floor plans or other architectural drawings for the building they would be willing to share, or if anyone here could give advice on where I should look?
