The only thing I bought at H & P was their nice but pricey bread.

For anyone into nice bread, and who is in reasonable distance of Crofton park - Jay's Budgen's sell really good and (I believe) locally made bread for about two thirds of the price. (Jay's Budgen's is an all-round good shop).

I think it might be Cooper's Bakehouse bread.

To be brutally honest, I won't miss H & P. I found their prices astonishing (I'm sure I remember seeing jars of jam and honey for about six quid!) and never found the service particularly helpful or friendly.

I actually found myself missing the old deli from about six years ago, which was where either the bike shop or Hopscotch is now! It was, ahem, variable and the bread wasn't as nice but I did like it and used it more.
