Brick House Bread
food
Brick House is a sourdough bakery and cafe run by Fergus and Sharmin Jackson, with locations in East Dulwich & Peckham Rye.
Our bakery specialises in San Francisco style slow fermentation sourdough breads, made using traditional methods and just a few simple ingredients; flour, water, sea salt and naturally occurring yeast.
We are open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and afternoon tea, are fully licenced, and also run bread classes from the East Dulwich bakery.
“Bread is the king of the table and all else is merely the court that surrounds the king.
The countries are the soup, the meat, the vegetables, the salad, but bread is king.”

Franklins | Restaurants in East Dulwich, London
An asset locally, and one that has stood the test of time – it’s been in East Dulwich since 1999 (and before that the owners also ran the Secret Garden restaurant at Franklins antiques shop in Camberwell).
There’s a commitment to careful sourcing (local where possible and at the very least from the UK, from dedicated growers and producers), and a more adventurous menu than many neighbourhood restaurants.
Try an oyster or two while perusing a menu that might include confit quail and celariac remoulade or potted shrimps to start, followed by ox tongue with black pudding and chicory or whole rainbow trout with fennel, cucumber and dill.
The light back-room restaurant is given focus by the open kitchen and is patrolled by friendly staff; at the front is a livelier bar area, plus outdoor seating in clement weather.
On the next corner is Franklins Farm Shop, where much of the produce comes from farms in Kent.
