Bara is a new Peckham cafe with a strong Welsh influence

Bara, a new cafe and sandwich shop in Peckham, is bringing something new to the table: a little bit of Welshness.  It comes from Zoë Heimann and Cecily Dalladay, a private chef who made it to the quarter-finals in MasterChef - The Professionals. 

That Welshness comes through with a big focus on produce sourced from Wales. It's also very prominent in a few elements like their own Bara Brith (a Welsh fruit loaf) and a Swansea Breakfast, which is smoked bacon, Blas Y Tir leeks, Câr-y-Môr cockles and laverbread on toasted focaccia. Their own focaccia will be a big part of the menu, with options including:

• Lamb-iri harissa focaccia - Slow-cooked Welsh lamb shoulder in Lamiri harissa, with yoghurt and dill-dressed cucumbers
• Saffron coronation chicken focaccia - coronation chicken, charred pineapple, mango and scotch bonnet salsa, baby gem
• Crab rarebit - Câr-y-Môr brown crab, Caerphilly cheese & Purple Moose beer rarebit on focaccia, fennel salad

It'll also be worth looking out for their Pembrokeshire Lobster Roll (pictured above), only available on Saturday. That's poached Câr-y-Môr lobster, lobster bisque mayonnaise, chives and lemon in a soft sesame roll.
