It may not be the cheapest but they're a small independent shop - they can't compete with Iceland or Tesco, and they have lovely things, I bought an Onion Squash for £1.50. You wouldn't get that in Sainsburys! Less stressful for me as a dog owner too, because I could leave him just outside the door in sight of me while I was shopping!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366033667146064988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-28787564197527769072012-03-18T16:27:57.758+00:002012-03-18T16:27:57.758+00:00The Allotment has a website btw: www.theallotment....The Allotment has a website btw: www.theallotment.uk.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-84620025726505573172012-02-27T18:50:16.083+00:002012-02-27T18:50:16.083+00:00I'm not rich or middle class but I do like the...I'm not rich or middle class but I do like the cakes they sell at the Allotment.

I do understand ...Hi, Gill from The Allotment here.<br />I do understand your comment about the cream. The dairy products I get from our current supplier tend to have short dates in when I get them, which is frustrating. I'm looking at getting butter and cream from the dairy which supplies our milk, and this should also be cheaper than the Longley Farm products. I do recommend Longley creme fraiche though - it's delicious!<br />I order more or less the same amount of bread each day - some days it's sold by early afternoon, whereas other days we have several loaves left over (our freezer at home is full of bread!). It's hard to predict from one day to the next how much we'll sell, but we only ever put out for sale what we receive fresh each morning. You can always give us a call to keep a loaf aside for you.<br />Hope this information helps!Gill - The Allotmentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-40037782023840263822012-02-20T08:16:27.908+00:002012-02-20T08:16:27.908+00:00I must admit, I have not popped in here yet.

However, if the prices are as shocking as 'I heart cupcakes' suggests then I'll probably be walking straight in and then straight out again. Shame, as it is a welcomed addition to that stretch of road!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-79875100931815588872012-02-19T18:06:36.013+00:002012-02-19T18:06:36.013+00:00I really wanted to like The Allotment as a good de...I really wanted to like The Allotment as a good deli would be great for New Cross. I was particularly excited about the bread but the few times I've been it's either sold out, or the loaf I've bought is hard and only usable for toast. <br />I agree they have a great stock of items, but when I bought dairy (I needed cream for a recipe) it was going out of date the next day - and was about 1.5 times the price of cream in supermarkets - I can't really justify the prices I'm afraid.I heart cupcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898577388443071100noreply@blogger.com
