It was open on Sunday... I went in there and things were definitely happening.

I am going to reserve judgement as it was a very quick visit but I would have loved to have seen some cheeses olives and nibbles in their cold counter, but instead they seem rather geared up towards takeaway sandwiches. A curious approach as it is predominantly a residential area and they are competing with cafes like Petitou and Lucis and Richards lunch menus. But I wish them well and I am sure I will use it for last minute veg.

Yes it was a little bit disappointing, really, but I don't think they were quite ready ? it was less a deli than a collection of sandwich fillings in old ice cream tubs and a pile of unopened cardboard boxes. I think it will get better, though, as the couple seemed really nice and really keen to please. I think they just need a bit more stock ? and a bit more time.

Popped in this evening. V. v. sweet people running it. Some curios in the way of fairtrade stuff and persian rose petal pot pourri (slight exagerration for alliterative effect). Some good, tasteful flowers (? - ? as in why in a deli?). The rest wasn't particularly exciting except for some rather yummy looking chocolate brownies.


Nothing offensive however - God bless 'em and all who sail in 'em.

We are hoping to get our Vietnamese Coffee shop at 155 Bellenden rd open soon - still being delayed by solicitors at the moment.

We have been a great success this summer at Hackney's Broadway Market where we do our regular Saturday Saigon Street Cafe, so are looking forward to regular trading in Bellenden, when we will open London's first genuine Vietnamese coffee shop !

Look forward to seeing you eventually

Popped in tonight - very nice man serving, with loads of interesting produce. Business apparently is good, with lots of comments about local support - and the EDF...


He showed us the space in the back which is going to be a cafe, and also told us about the shop across the road is going to be a beauty treatment place. Lots of shops along Bellenden Road are apparently being filled

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
