oh thanks ali. It was very odd when the pie stall left last year - and amazing when they reappeared! things always come and go with the market and sometimes we seem to take steps back; but thanks to you all it's still steadily growing I think, both …
It was supposed to be blissfully blue, all day! At least I thought I saw that on a forecast earlier in the week. Oh well. In the end it was grey in green , which still has quite a nice ring to it.
About the legacy thing: Luke too is about to open a …
they sold out at midday! Thank you everyone for the support. He says when he's settled in a bit he'll be thinking of a few new recipes (venison & red wine etc)
@HolbornFox no i don't think so, sadly. They told me last year they'd be in touch when they were up and running but never have, so i guess they're too busy...well good luck to them. Apart from josh (mellor) and jacob (jiddler's tipple) who are the t…
well somebody called Roberto started last week. I was a bit worried for him after alan! his pies are expensive, but special. actually he had a good first day so thanks to you lot for having a go! Let's see how he gets on...
They've left for South Africa! It's a bit tragic for all of us isn't it. I've been gearing myself up to write a notice but don't quite have the heart, or the words...

personally I like the Danish lady Sara's even over Bread By Bike's but both are really nice - and just had one from bigjo which is also great! It's different though, i thought it almost had more of a croissant texture?
As far as I know it's part of a very upmarket, smallish but growing empire! The restaurant and bakery Jolene is close to us in Newington green , it's all about sustainable farming, heritage grains etc. I once had a pain au raisin which was nice. The…
I heard that the use of abbreviations ("abbreves") was accepted in the case of busy people who didn't have time to waste in writing idle prattle on internet forums
funnily enough stroud green was one of only a few London farmers markets to close at all, almost all the others being street markets closed by the councils. I suppose it's because the farmers are selling "essential" items ie food. To shop in a large…
Arkady that cobblers wasn't supposed to be open - but they were there sorting out some things when I came and did the keys on the spot, very lucky. Thanks! Have their number now and I think they'd come down to do a job for anyone so just ask if you …
