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.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
