In Lockdown I got on my bicycle and started delivering sourdough loaves and pastries to my neighbours in South East London.

My thinking was simple. Everyone loves great bread and pastries but they're often hard to find and inconvenient to purchase. As a result, too many miss out on the simple joy these products bring and the quality time that families share over them.

Wouldn't it be better if you could just start your weekend with freshly baked sourdough and pastries waiting for you on your doorstep?

That's why I set up Butter & Crust - to deliver outstanding freshly baked goods directly to your doorstep each Saturday morning for you to wake up to - no stress, no faff. Like the milkman, but much higher quality and delivered 100% by bicycle.

Been using butter and crust for about 6 months. Really good milk. Great bread and easy way to schedule Monmouth coffee beans. Has been great. Would recommend.

 

Thank you! I'm very pleased to hear it and appreciate you sharing the good word!

Your cargo bicycle on the pavement in Gilkes is a hazard and it hasn't moved for over a year!


The tyres are flat and the cargo basket is full of water. It makes it very awkward for pedestrians to get past.

Cargo bike is still on pavement on Gilkes Crescent, been there well over a year, doesn't move, tires are flat.


Can't understand why you don't need to use it, or is it just free advertising?

 

Sorry, Cathleen. I had asked a member of the team to move it on the Friday but I see that didn't happen.


I have just removed the bike myself now. Thanks for your patience with us.


All the very best.

You almost had me fooled there Ollie.


I see you have just moved the old cargo bike with the flat tyre to the pavement outside Megan's instead! Unbelievable.


I will contact Southwark Council and get them to remove it instead.

Hi Kathleen,


Thanks for the message. We moved the bike from the lamppost and took it inside our workplace after you raised the issue. We later briefly locked it up outside of Meghanโ€™s ahead of it being collected and permanently rehomed. Thatโ€™s all now happened so you wonโ€™t see it again.


As before, thanks for raising the issue and I apologise for any inconvenience caused.


All the best.

There was one of their bikes chained up on Woodwarde Road for months as well - are their cargo bikes breeding?

 

Hi Rockets,


There is only the one bike. It was locked up for a period on Woodwarde road where my co-founder lived at the time and the bike was being used every week. I am genuinely sorry if that inconvenienced you. As above, the cargo bike in question has now been rehomed.


All the very best.

Can you bing vegan cheese? If so

 

Hi Jules and Boo,


Thanks for the question. I'm afraid we don't offer cheese/vegan cheese at the moment. Our focus for now is on the products that you would typically find in a bakery.


All the very best.

    • Wow  So many armchair accident investigators putting forward their theorys. My thoughts are that we should wait for an official investigation to tell us what actually happened. 
    • Chester is a large ginger and while cat with a fluffy tail. He went missing from Casino Avenue on April 8. We only recently adopted him from Battersea, so he may be a bit disorientated. Please check any sheds or garages in case he's got trapped - he's not the cleverest cat. If you spot him please contact 07905 209 508. He does have a microchip.
    • Hi. Have you managed to find any groups in the area? I'm also a woman with ADHD and looking for support/discussion ideally locally.
    • Went to the junction today to check the "scene of the event" to try and work out from the tyre marks on the road and the damage to the kerb, what were the contributing factors to the accident. Here are my observations and deductions. 1.Compaction type refuse collection trucks, such as these, are exceptionally "tail-heavy" due the the weight of the hydraulic compaction mechanism and the fact that this weight is positioned on the  rear overhang ie behind the rear wheels. 2. To compensate for the extra weight, the truck is fitted with a "tag axle". The tag axle is located  forward of the rearmost axle. When fully laden, all the rear tyres will be running at very close to their operating limit. 3. The tag axle has only 2 wheels as opposed to 4 wheels on the rearmost axle. So on either side at the rear, there a three wheels. So if one rear tyre on the near side has lost pressure,  the weight carried by the remaining two is increased by 50%. 4. Being tail-heavy with a high centre of gravity, the driver of such vehicles should be ultra cautious when cornering. 5. When turning to the right,  the weight imposed on near side tyres is further increased depending on the speed involved. 6. The two long curved tyre marks on the road  suggest that only two of the 3 tyres on the near side were taking the weight.  7 These curved tyre marks end abruptly and I'm trying to work out exactly why. This spot is  very close to where the  near side rear wheels  slide up against the kerb and the wheel rims gouge out chunks  of the kerb stones. There is a possibility that the driver braked late and so caused the tyres to loose all grip and so slide into the kerb. If there are any forensic traffic experts around, I would welcome their take on this.
