Fuschia


I am a close friend of the people who have bought Jacks and i am a bit dissapointed to see that you have started your own thread on this. The people who have bought Jacks are incredibly passionate about food and have lived in the area for some time. They know about Jacks and will be continuing good home made food and a friendly atmosphere, welcoming everyone from the community and continuing the childrens menu! It is a little sad that you have written it off already, it certainly won't be an East Dulwich clone and hence why James sold it to Di and Alex as he approached them!! Di worked in michelin star restaurants through the nineties and Alex is a local artist. Please support your local businesses :O)

m&m fairy, I don't think Fuschia meant anything other than she was sad to see James leave (as I am) and that we all HOPE what we love about Jack's (child friendly, good food, good local location for us) will stay the same. Best of luck to your friends on their new business.


When will it be open and will it be closed during school half term holidays?

Hi Candj


We are yet to set an opening date but as soon as we know we will put it on the blog and update the forum (crossing fingers for end of September)

Good news is we will be opening both half term and full term holidays with the exception of a few days over xmas but everyone will be full up from all the mince pies and turkey anyway!! >:D<


Alex

So is it closed now? I went along on Thursday with twins in tow and it was shut sob sob, cue a disastrous afternoon that ended up with my virtually in tears at a bus stop by GG with both twins screaming in the rain and I was sure I was going to faint, had to be rescued by Mr F (I'm 7m pregnant) (Not that that this sad story is Jacks fault, of course, but finding my safe haven unexpectedly shut did throw me rather)


The sign said it would be open tomorrow but I don't want to risk it again if that's not true...

I do, but when I read on the blog "a vision to create an independent artisan coffee house specialising in good homemade fayre, locally sourced produce, with Square Mile Coffee, all washed down with a chilled out atmosphere." my heart did sink rather, child friendly wasn't mentioned and I am just fearful of price hikes (no more lunch for me and my twins for under a tenner) and another ED clone...


If it is intended to keep the good value child menu and the toys etc etc, then that's good to know. I feel a little reassured now.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
