Our three sourdoughs (white sour; many seeded sour; pain de campagne) use a part-rye starter but we don't currently do a 100% rye; that's coming later in the year. Was Peckham Rye a 100% rye sourdough?

I just got the Cooper's Bakehouse bread as it was recommended here by many people(bought it in The Proud Sow in Dulwich Village). It is very good - I can honestly recommend it to everyone who - like me - was a fan of the Brick House 'Peckham Rye' loaf.


Franklins on LL used to sell bread from Brick House - might be worth for the Cooper's bakery to contact them to see if they could now take their bread instead.

Franklins announced they are now selling bread from The snapery on their instagram ... will definitely be trying some as heard its pretty good.

My yard is opposite The Snapery, they?re nice people. (they make a great chocolate brioche bun 👍🏽💥)


It?s a shame about Brickhouse, on many levels, but the product from the above people is in the same spirit of making bread that Fergus and his team created.


Well done to Franklins on supporting a SE London craft bakery (they?re based in South Bermondsey btw)

Such a shame about Brickhouse. Will really miss their Peckham Rye as well as the cafe.


Paul Rhodes in Greenwich make beautiful artisanal bread which they sell in their own shop as well as supplying to many high end restaurants and catering business I believe... I wonder if they could make an outlet in ED work? There's definitely an appetite for it (pun not intended...)


Will get to Franklins to try some Snapery Bread - always heard good things about it

It seems a shame, since they are evidently such good breadmakers, that they didn't pursue an alternative business model of solely baking in a non-retail premise (potentially much cheaper to rent) and wholesaling their bread through retail outlets - clearly both Snapery and Paul Rhodes operate a wholesale model (if with a retail one), as they did. That would have given them operational space to find appropriate (cost/ location) retail outlets whist maintaining some demand.

That's how they started out (Tyrrell Road estate). I'm sure they considered to returning to such a model. Maybe they just didn't have the heart to start again.

That makes you chuckle?.

Much as I'll miss the Brickhouse, I never really got over the loss of the antique market that used to be on the site. That one, and the one off North Cross road were some of my favourite shops to visit on weekends, but we don't have anything like that now.


I hope that by some miracle the site is able to host lots of smaller shops again.

To keep diverting the conversation down this tangent, I did cycle pass something the other day called the 'Winsor Antique Emporium' near the plough pub. I haven't been in yet, but it may be the last surviving shop of its kind round here.

Yes-I miss those shops too-much more catering to my taste and budget than the bland shops opening in the area now..sometimes it feels like the area has morphed into Fulham and become awfully bland in the process!

    • Hello - if anyone is in need of sofa/rug/carpet cleaning, we have recently had a very good experience with husband and wife team Kate and Vlad. They're a very reasonable cost and the result was great (don't look too closely at the colour of the water that comes out!) Kate's number is 07731 140246

The other option is to drop off your labelled parcel to the Royal Mail Delivery Office of your choice.
    • A silly title, Truss set such a high bar I doubt whether anyone can ever match her level of incompetence and level of delusion. Paul Johnson spoke on inheritance tax on one of the political programmes.  Any inheritance tax is controversial, and he considered farmers should not be an expectation I was underwhelmed and incredibly disappointed that there was no increase in fuel duty; Labour chickened out and I will be telling Rachel's sister this view. Paul Johnson has written a good article on his analysis and that the budget was not at all revolutionary https://ifs.org.uk/articles/budget-was-non-event-and-kicked-big-decisions-down-road If you want something to worry about look over the Pond
