“Bread has always been a communal
activity linked to cooperative living…
the sight of an old oven in a back courtyard
of some village still gives rise to images
of community, of sharing.”
Our Story
The Old Post Office Bakery, London’s Oldest Organic Bakery, was born in the early 80’s, the child of an illicit union between London’s 60’s and 70’s counterculture and an ancient European tradition of artisan bread making. Flowing through its veins was always a DIY ethic, a deeply held belief in resourcefulness, and the desire to create wholesome foods from simple ingredients.
Over the years many highly skilled bakers and cake makers from all over the world have joined the bakery, along with enthusiasts from any and every walk of life looking for a change of direction, and have contributed their recipes and techniques, resulting in a list of products that includes traditional British baked goods: Chelsea buns, eccles cakes, apple turnovers, white bloomers, homemade cakes pastries and pasties, alongside ciabatta, focaccia, pain au levain, croissants, pain au chocolat, pain aux raisins, a range of sourdoughs, and our staples, the tin loaves: wholewheat, malted grain, 3 seed, sunflower, stoneground white, spelt and rye sourdough.
The bakery today is organic in every sense, not only using organic ingredients (exclusively for most of our breads) but also being the result of the skills and spirit of many different people: bakers, cooks, artists and all sorts: everyone with enthusiasm and spirit who has understood what we’re all about and joined in for the ride.
In 1982 Karl Heinz Rossbach arrived in London from Berlin to study psychotherapy. Using his finely honed powers of Teutonic reasoning, Karl deduced that it was almost impossible to find the traditional, nutritionally rich breads he had grown up eating on his family farm in Southern Germany, and, needing to fund his studies he killed two birds with one stone (another of his actual skills) by starting to make his own bread at home, and also selling it to local shops. At the time he lived in a squatted building off Acre Lane, Brixton, that had been a Post Office: hence the name. Karl found and repaired an abandoned gas cooker and built himself a prooving cabinet from scrap metal. He bought freshly milled flour from Neals Yard in Covent Garden but also built his own mill using a coffee grinder and a motor from a washing machine. He soaked grains and produced his own sourdough to begin making the loaves (using an old bathtub as a mixing bowl) that are still the staple of the bakery. 100% wholewheat with sunflower seeds and 100% rye sourdough. Dense, chewy, flavoursome and nutritionally rich loaves whose slices provide a meal in themselves. The bakery was a success because what Karl made was virtually unique in 1982.
Within a few years Karl was joined by John Dungavel and Richard Scroggs (the current owners of the bakery), both of whom were living in Brixton because of the vibrant alternative/squatting scene of the 80’s. Many of the characters from that culture ended up working for or with the bakery, helping John and Richard in building on Karl’s foundation, to add the elements that have created the present day bakery, which, thirty years on and two premises later, now lives at 76 Landor Road just off Clapham High Street. Karl (now 64) still works part time at the bakery using his legendary bodging skills to keep any and every piece of equipment working. John and Richard hold the spirit of the bakery as crucial to its existence: a belief in community inclusion both in their employment policy and their support for local activists, festivals and events; a belief in keeping the bakery to a size and in a location where it can retain its proper artisan ethos; a fascination with the learning and development of specialist craft baking skills which maintain and continue the use of centuries old techniques. All these principles underpin our core business: the production of a range of truly handcrafted products, sold at reasonable prices without the mystification and elitism attached to much of the artisan food scene.

Bread
Sourdough is an ingredient in bread that makes it rise. We use it instead of manufactured yeast. Sourdough is a mixture of water and flour which contains a culture of naturally occurring yeasts and lactic acid bacteria. The wild yeasts are left to ferment over a long period of time (18-20 hours in our case) which allows them to develop an acidic, sour flavour. This creates a denser, moister, more chewy loaf with a complex crust, deeper flavour and because the Sourdough process produces natural yeasts required in only small quantities to leaven the bread, it is much more digestible.

Whole Wheat means bread baked using all parts of the wheat grain. Our whole wheat loaves are 100% whole wheat – no part of the grain is taken away during the milling process and as a result our brown loaves are distinctive for their dense, high fibre texture and solid structure.

We have re-named the Kasha loaf the Karacel Loaf: (kar-ah-chel) which means “all together” in the local language, in honour of and to promote a fantastic project we have become involved in Northern Uganda. We have chosen our gluten free Kasha loaf made with buckwheat as it is very similar to the loaves produced in Uganda by Karacel and its popularity should provide a good revenue for the project.
50p from each loaf is donated to this fantastic project.
Karacel Bakery buys soya beans from rural women farmers and employs them to make soya flour. Then, Karacel employs another set of urban women to bake cakes and bread in Lira town. The flour, bread, and snacks that Karacel produces are a healthy alternative to wheat flour and white bread because soya beans are a complete protein, offering a balanced dose of amino acids, iron, fibre, calcium, healthy fats, and protein. These products are otherwise unavailable on the market so Karacel is providing, for the first time, access to these healthy products to over 700,000 people.
Karacel Training Centre maintains a holistic approach to personal and professional development for programme participants. Women who are part of Karacel join the programme with an end goal in mind: to go back to school or to start a business. The Training Centre offers workshops and coaching to participants to ensure not only that their goal is met but that they are well-prepared for life after Karacel.
Thank you for contributing with your purchase to this amazing project.

Brixton Windmill
The bakery has been closely involved with the Friends of Windmill Gardens since its inception in 2003. The Friends were formed with the aim of saving and restoring the Brixton Windmill. They are an inspirational group with deep links to the community that live around the mill. The bakery has taken part in numerous festivals, fetes and open days held throughout the years to raise money and support the project. We have also decorated and manned a float at several Windmill parades, run baking workshops and given local kids bakery tours in conjunction with projects run by The Friends. We provided food for a two-week project where local artists and prisoners from the nearby Brixton Prison painted a giant mural next to the windmill. One of our favourites was when local schools around the mill grew wheat on their school grounds, threshed and milled it, and brought the resultant flour to the bakery where we baked it into pizzas that the kids were able to eat. We loved being involved with this project as it really connected inner-city kids to the whole process of food production in such an imaginative and revelatory way. Staff from the bakery have played in bands at the Summer Windmill Festival and been Father Christmas and his Little Elf at the Christmas family open day. The Windmill Project is a resounding success – the mill is saved, restored and milling flour, and through money from fund-raising a purpose built educational centre is now under construction. We hope to be involved in community baking courses run from the new centre. In our bakery and at all our outlets we sell the Windmill loaf, which is made using flour actually milled at the Brixton Windmill- 40p from every loaf is donated to the Friends of Windmill Gardens. We also sell Windmill flour and merchandise in our shop on Landor Road.
Community Involvment
Over the years we have provided apprenticeships for school leavers and worked with young people’s charities to give employment to young offenders. We have had groups of women refugees on work experience courses and lots of local schools bring their kids for tours of the bakery. Our aim is to be an integral part of and asset to our local community. Through a collection tin on the counter of the bakery shop we have donated over two and a half thousand pounds to Help Refugees , so a massive thank you to all our customers for their incredible generosity. Two or three times a week we donate our left-over bread, pastries and cakes to several local centres helping the homeless- Ace of Clubs centre in Clapham, the food bank in St Paul’s church on Ferndale Road Brixton and the Brixton Pound community café. For several years the office of PAPA’s Park (a community park and playground around the corner on Pulross Road Brixton) was in our basement, followed in residence by the anarchist/activist printing press Past Tense who produce pamphlets and booklets detailing the forgotten history of London’s community rebellions, uprisings and resistance.
Toucan Employment
Here at the bakery for the past 20 years we have had an association with Toucan Employment, a local charity that aims to find employment for adults with learning difficulties. We currently have two workers who have come from Toucan- John and DJ, who are an integral part of bakery life. We have found that over the years our Toucan workers always bring something special to the bakery, not only through their loyalty and hard work but also how their presence at the bakery positively affects the lives of their fellow workers, introducing them to new experiences and giving them a buzz from being able to make a difference to someone’s life. Many of our workers have become close friends with the Toucan crew- helping them out in their lives, taking them out and socialising with them. Toucan’s founding ethos is that to be in work is a fundamental human right that gives people not only financial independence but also connects them to their community, giving them the opportunity to socialise and gain access to support. People with learning difficulties are often isolated, lonely, easily exploited and living in poverty- our experience at the bakery has shown how giving someone a job can truly transform their lives.
Please contact Toucan Employment if you are interested in their work or feel you may be able to find a position for one of their clients. They match their clients to jobs and will provide a full package of support (including on site job coaching) to enable that any new employment roles work out successfully.
Brixton Pound
We are strong supporters of the Brixton Pound Project.
The Brixton Pound is a local currency designed to support local trade and production and we have been accepting it since its earliest days. We also donate bread, cakes and savouries to the Brixton Pound Café on Atlantic Road, a unique community space and café which uses surplus products to provide nutritious and affordable food sold on a pay what you can basis. The inventive pay-what-you-can menu is influenced by the surplus ingredients they receive and executed by a team of talented chefs and volunteers. Preparing fresh soups, salads and toasties every day, the Brixton Pound Café team is dedicated to cutting food waste in creative and practical ways. They make pickles, jams, sauerkraut and kombucha in-house, which promote a diversified diet and good gut health, and run supper clubs in the evenings which showcase some of the amazing ingredients donated by producers and consumers alike.
The Brockwell Bake Association
Organic farming criteria are very much excluded and organic farmers are forced to substitute intensive fossil fueled mechanical inputs to cater to these “modern” wheats. For years Andy and his Brockwell Bake colleagues have been scouring worldwide seed banks to gather interesting heritage wheats using their “wheat-gateway” database of over 430,000 genebank accessions, the most extensive wheat germplasm data resource of its kind. These wheats have degrees of extra flavour texture and colours lost in modern wheat and at the bakery we have experimented with Andy’s recipes and baked and his bread with him. One of our most popular sourdoughs The Brockwell, was developed from Andy’s recipe. We also collaborated with him to develop the Windmill Loaf which was launched by Andy at the Windmill festival in June 2013.Andy was central to the project that organised local school kids into sewing and growing wheat in their schools, then harvesting threshing and hand milling flour from it and ultimately baking pizzas with that flour at the bakery. He works tirelessly and for no material reward on his mission, organising wheat planting and harvesting and heritage wheat bread baking and tasting sessions. He and his colleagues at the Brockwell Bake epitomise the chore spirit of unique, eccentric, community based activism and creativity that is the lifeblood of London. They are link to a world before everything had become commodified. This is the tradition the bakery has grown from and still daily embraces and which we will always strive to remain true to. For more information about Andy please read Food obsessives: the people searching for the perfect cheese, bread and coffee. and My London: Andy Forbes, Brockwell Bake Association.
Beer & Bread Festival 2019
The extremely popular annual Beer and Bread Festival returns for another Mayday celebration of local producers, with more food, more entertainment and more local breweries than ever before!
We are delighted to return offering a selection of breads, pastries and cakes together with the Brixton Brewery, Canopy Brewery, based in Herne Hill, the London Beer Lab, who brew in Loughborough Junction. Also making their festival debut are Bullfinch Brewery, based on Rosendale Roadand.
Entertainment includes live music from the great salsa band Los Domingos, R&B band B2B, and Brixton’s famous steel pan soloist De Kat in De Hat, plus a lively performance by Tatterjacks Morris.
This year they have extended the children’s area and have a number of craft workshops and activities to keep the kids entertained.
Visitors can also meet the team of volunteer millers inside the windmill who will be busy milling flour that will be available to buy on the day.
2019 is a very exciting year for Brixton Windmill as they will be opening their new education centre next to the windmill. This will allow them to extend their programme of school workshops as well as offering baking and nutrition classes and space to hire for the local community to use for events.
We look forward to seeing you at the Beer and Bread Festival!

The Old Post Office Bakery
One of the first organic bakeries in London, with its beginnings in a former Clapham post office. The bread is made with flour from Shipton Mill and certified by the Soil Association. There are good sourdoughs and a good date and walnut. Also available in farmers’ markets.”

Organic Sunflower Loaf
One for those who like hippie food, this is the staple loaf in our household. To call it hearty is something of an understatement, but after eating Post Office bread for a week or so most newcomers are hooked. It's baked in south London and, when I moved to north London, securing a regular supply was as important as finding a new coffee shop.

Highly skilled bakers create exception bread at The Old Post Office Bakery using organic ingredients, shunning all the gadgets and mod cons for classic baking techniques and methods. If you’re on the hunt for a well-made sourdough loaf, you’ve come to the right place. From eccles cakes to white bloomers and ciabatta and focaccia, the bakery stocks a wide variety of baked goods. Their sausage roll is a combination of Soya Sos Mix, onions, garlic and rosemary and if you after something different, try their spinach and feta roll. This is good quality artisan baked goods, without the silly prices and we like that a lot.

The Old Post Office Bakery
The Old Post Office Bakery has been a community favourite since the Eighties, specialising in organic handcrafted baked goods and service as warm as the bread rolls straight from the oven.
