OK then. How about another independent local bakery that's been here for 60+ years.

How much do they charge does anyone know? I've not been in for a month or so.

Please do ed_pete, let me know how you get on. What I love about Ayres is they are always open for suggestions if you aren't happy with the product, although personally, I've never had a problem with any of their produce. It's all made on site too.

Granted- it is v.expensive.


TBH i think the whole place is a bit ridiculous.


I went in for breakfast for a second time, early-ish on saturday morning. Hands were slightly tied as i was moving flat and wanted something other than a greasy spoon, and none of the other decent places were open yet.


Had 2 boiled eggs again and they still haven't learned that eggs keep cooking in the shells after you take them out of the water, unless you plunge them in cold water. This is blinking basic. Net result- when you come to eat the second boiled egg, it's completely hard boiled. And at ?4.50 for two boiled eggs and toast, you gotta get these things right.


However; good coffee and great bread.

Blackbird hot x buns are fantastic - 50p each and not only much tastier than supermarket ones but also about twice the size. Also Konditor and Cook - a bit more expensive but also huge. ?1.50 too much though, and I've always been underwhelmed by Brick House generally. Shame because I really want to like it, but tbh I prefer Blackbird or Boulangerie Jade every time.

Pretty sure that ?1.50 is the takeaway price. I didn't want this to turn into a "let's knock brick house" as I said I've not tried the buns in question. I've only shopped there a few times and when I have I've been happy with the service and the product. I also think that what they've done with the space in general is great. I just think ?1.50 for a bun is a lot.

Didn't you crack the shell of the second one to stop it cooking? Or did they bring you the second one once you'd finished the first?

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      By bonaome · Posted

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
