Fingal’s Bakery
East Greenwich where Fingal’s café and bakery is situated, has developed into a real foodie hub in recent years. Their business model started in Borough Market and they have had a presence at a number of local markets, such as Telegraph Hill, Alexandra Hill and Herne Hill.
You can certainly tell their roots in quality markets – as they still choose top quality toppings and ingredients, and use organic produce. They are well-known amongst the local community for their famous sourdough loaves produced and gone within a couple of hours during weekend morning trade. Sourdough bakery is their speciality, but they also offer sourdough to rye, French dark rye, wholemeal and new soda bread, also sun-dried tomato loaves, garlic and rosemary. Also on offer are delicious scones, brownies and pastries.
I tried their delicious vegan sandwich with pesto, vegan cheese, rocket, sun-dried tomato and olive oil, with a great strong latte at a reasonable price. The bakery has won awards for their baking, proudly displayed on the walls of the café.
They also help feed the homeless with any left-over bread being distributed through food waste company, Too Good to Go.
