Although their products are very good there,Jim they don't bake on the premises.

Joseph's Bakery in South Street,Old Isleworth must be worthy of a Baqette's award.

The best tasting bread In my opinion was the German Spelt bread (flour) the shop was called "the bread shop" on CHR which sadly closed down a good few years ago. All their baked produce was made from Spelt flour. The flour that has existed during the bronze age whereas wheat, is a more recent times flour. Spelt produce health wise, is healthier and more digestible than wheat.

dear foodies,After much anticipation, I finally got a 'Mothers Bakehouse' baguette, fresh and crisp, early in the morning direct from the baker.  Here (for what its worth) is my verdict =It was delicious !Gail's, Nikki,  Ole & Steen, M&S, Waitrose, Sainsbury and Planet Organic may deliver worthy examples of the baguette, but they are in a lower league when it comes to overall quality ~ the  'Mothers Bakehouse'  was superior by any number of measurable standards (comestible food related) you'd care to apply.That all said, NO....not the best this side of the channel.A tastier and all together superior baguette may be purchased in Chiswick....but, sorry...I am not saying where ! ! !Happy hunting  : )

Lox is a salmon fillet that has been cured in salt, or brined, to preserve it. Absolutely delicious with a good schmear (cream cheese) on a beigel.  Ask for a 'schmear with lox' and a tea.

what is 'lox' - never heard of that ?

Anna Kirkpatrick ● 27d

You need to visit the Beigel (correct spelling) Shop in Brick Lane to see how a beigel should be filled. So full of hot salt beef or Lox and cream cheese that they are difficult hold. Absolutely delicious.

I ve never seen anything that fitted in a bagel described as a 'generous' filling Andrew.

Anna Kirkpatrick ● 27d

That's Bagels isn't it?

'best baguettes' ; I assume that means a generous filling of cream cheese, juicy pineapple and plenty of black pepper Geoff ?  :)

I loved the cafe in Sainsburys - happy memories of  tasty omelettes and afternoon cream teas.

Anna Kirkpatrick ● 28d

No - I heard it was opening in May. Baguettes currently available from the Whistling Oyster on Thursdays and Fridays.

Sarah Harty ● 28d

Has it opened in Devonshire Road yet?

Andrew Jones ● 28d

A bold claim perhaps - but one I wholeheartedly second. These baguettes are second to none.

I loved 'The Bread Shop' for its apple danish, their cherry one was nice also. Alot of eateries seem to come n go in our High Rd ?

Anna Kirkpatrick ● 28d

oh...."Best baguettes this side of the Channel"the proof of the pudding, is...etc etc.Hopefully Mr Geoff Hoddinott's words refer to the English Channel and  not to the Mozambique Channel, or some other far-flung waterway.There is already a baguette of exceptional high quality available in Chiswick, but I'm not saying where,  because it sold out by 11am this morning, much to my chagrin  : - (Lets see the value of Mr Hoddinott's opinion.Looking forward to Mothers Bakehouse with now heightened expectation.

I have tried the bread from the one behind the Crabtree pub and it is delicious although 'best this side of the channel' might be a stretch. Does anyone know whether the new branch will bake its own bread or shipping it in from Fulham?

Felicity Caborn ● 36d

Never good to make such a claim in the heart of where it is opening because you open yourself up to justified good or bad criticism on the back of such a claim. Watch this space ?
