    • 1996, Harlan Walker, Cooks & other people:
      But Roger (for which Hogge is a nickname) was not a 'pasteler' or pie-man: since he ran a cook shop, he would have belonged to a separate guild, and may have been one of those cooks of Bread Street referred to in the regulation, although cook shops also clustered in other locations — notably Eastcheap and Thames Street.
