"It might be torrential, it might be 10am, whatever, Bakers Dozen is more than likely going to have a crowd of people inside ordering patties. Things move fast at this box-sized Caribbean takeaway between Brixton and Clapham, although be warned that not every patty is always on or fresh out of the oven. Oxtail and lobster will more than likely be, given their popularity—and both are excellent. The former is rich and savoury, while the latter has generous chunks of lobster with a pepper-heavy sauce. Not all of Bakers Dozen’s combinations land, but part of the fun of this bakery is finding out which is your favourite. Food Rundown photo credit: Emily Hai Oxtail Patty A classic combination done well. Decent pastry, a bit of flake, and a deep brown, rich and moreish oxtail filling. It definitely leans more saucy than chunks of meat. photo credit: Emily Hai Cheesy Beef Patty This patty tastes like a mixture of melted american cheese and minced beef sauce. It’s fine, but nothing to go out of your way for. photo credit: Emily Hai Lobster Patty You’re not going to find a lobster patty in every Caribbean bakery, and it’s well worth giving this one a try. There are decent chunks of lobster throughout and the sauce is heavy with pepper." - Jake Missing
