Important to support our local shops so hopefully they are getting on top if it.


Must admit I go past it frequently and they often look empty..can't be easy if selling fresh food.


Maybe needs a bit more advertising as it's a good shop?


Another post about it recently.....http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1855792,1855812#msg-1855812

This, I spent money in there. I'm probably not Potager's target (out working all day) but I never really knew what it was for. Soup?

Yes, that was them.


Have to say it never looked very busy, but at least they tried something. Here's hoping another independent (of any type) makes a success of it.

Finally called themselves greengrocers but to be honest it was never really clear what they actually wanted to do, soup, smoothies, fruit, veg, bread, pies, other. If you are unclear about what you are those potential customers will be unclear about what you do, offer, want to offer and ultimately you get to the stage were it costs you more to run the business than you actually take, making it no longer viable to trade, sadly that's the point you pull down the shutters before the business burns even bigger holes in your bank balance.


So another business fades away into obscurity because of a lack of clarity about what it did. Had the owners been smarter and they had concentrated on providing good quality basic provisions it could have been a really successful little business at that end of the parade. As some may recall many, many moons ago there was a fruit and veg stall outside what was Galleon wine, now the hairdressers that thrived for many years till some cretin burned it down I recall?? so it can be done.


While the Coop is pretty hit and miss and judging by peoples opinions not that popular, although in its defence it does have a steady stream of custom a bit of competition may have helped improve standards, but then that's wishful thinking.

    • If you’ve got four quid spare, go and try one. Myself, I like the mozzarella and spinach, but there’s no accounting.
    • More of a Steak Bake kinda thing, then.
    • You might want to try the Peckham Facebook community group. I am located in East Dulwich & have 2 well-used scratchers: A large single post (ideal for an adult cat) & a small cat tree with 2 short posts (ideal for kittens) While the wear & tear is nowhere near as bad as the one shown in the link below, ideally the sisal should be replaced to get the best use out of it (& neutralise the scent of another cat) hence why I haven't donated these to a shelter. You may find this link helpful: https://thegreenmadhouse.com/diy/how-to-repair-your-cat-scratcher But you can just get a brand new one between £10-£30 on Amazon that'll last much longer. It all depends on what type of scratcher you're looking for; material, size, vertical or horizontal. Your little lion will let you know by whether they're currently scratching down or up, like a mat or armchair for example. More than happy to send location & leave in front garden for pickup.
    • Would happily take it off your hands! Preferably in Peckham. Thanks 🙏🏻
