Brie. Brie? BRIE? Brie as in fancy, faffy, condescending, patronising FRENCH cheese?

What you want is a big chunky slice of proper Chedder in yer buns. What are you, a hipster or something?

I wouldn't eat the French muck out of principle. Somerset Brie is perfect, better than anything the French could make. Same goes for cheddar, has to be from Somerset with the "West Country farmhouse" label.

?1.50 for a hot cross bun that size I don't mind! (See picture)

And let's assume Brick House pays the bakers the London living wage which I believe is ?9.40. I think pricing it at ?1.50 is a bargain!


Let's break it down, shall we?


According to this recipe http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/hotcrossbuns_397

it takes 2 hours to make 12 hot cross buns


2 x ?9.40 = ?18.80

Divided by 12 = ?1.566666666666667

And that's just labour. Rent, electricity and ingredients are missing!

I don't know if they do make their own Buns.. They might buy in... From where ever..


.. But like I said..(somewhere) I don't think ?1.50 is that expensive for a sit in..

If you go to the Cheese Block the French brie is amazing. Rubbery it certainly isnt.

Indeed - the Brie de Meaux that sits on that back shelf threatening to ooze over the edge is a spreadable delight and truly one of life's joys.

      Where to get a wooden board cut?

      By Friernlocal · Posted

      If you mean the joinery firm that made windows and doors, it closed down several years ago and a private house was built on the site.

      Butter and Crust

      I’ve been looking at their website from time to time over the last few years and I was sure that at least one loaf - the signature sourdough - is supplied by the BreadBread bakery who are at a lot of markets at weekends and who used to have a small cafe bakery shop in Brixton Market. I used to go there specifically to get their bread.   They are also affiliated with Franco Manca.  That was the first FM, co-founded by Bridget Hugo, who died last year. BreadBread also supplied the bread for the now closed Crooked Well pub restaurant (but now open under a different name - The Kerfield Arms)  in Grove Lane SE5.  Not sure where the pastries come from but it doesn’t seem possible to choose which ones to have delivered.  I do think they chop and change the suppliers from time to time.  I like the look of the (expensive) crullers they sometimes have plus granola, the savoury pastries and expensive bagels.  They frequently have special offers for a first delivery.  40% is the highest discount I’ve seen so far. I too would be worried about a fox being an opportunist.

      Maybe the signor in question spotted some hot jacuzzi action and just had to stop in?
