I noticed a sign on the entrance to an industrial yard on the corner of Melborn grove which said it had a licence to deliveroo. Might be because of this? How Deliveroo's 'dark kitchens' are catering from car parks https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/oct/28/deliveroo-dark-kitchens-pop-up-feeding-the-city-london?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
They're far from offering ethical business. But that doesn't sound quite right Seabag. As it kills the UVP that made their model successful "your favourite local restaurants food, brought to your door". And have you experienced how their "dark kitchens" mangle and destroy concept after concept? Just try comparing Busaba Eathai from their se22 menu with...Busaba Eathai in Soho. Like polystyrene by comparison. You of all people know what it takes in skill,craft and proper kit in building a local name over time. Sure there will be some who can't tell Franklin's wood fired chicken from something knocked up in a portacabin. But no different to now. VC funded businesses don't have talk some shit to show how they might scale to appease investors. Can't see "taking over" local businesses as one of them.
Has been there for ages (maybe even a year now) - lots of "Deliveroos" scooting in and out. I think it is more for their "own brand" restaurants that they have listed on there - they effectively create different restaurant concepts themselves to pad out the listings before they have local restaurants signed up.
I wonder just how big the intersection is of regular gig economy service uses (Uber, Deliveroo etc.) and those who rail against rampant capitalism/zero hour contracts/abuse of workers, especially those who are young/lacking qualifications/foreign. (I don't use Uber, Deliveroo etc.)

No risk of it meaning ?1 off the Deliveroo boss's profits, then. That's why I can't use them or buy clothes from Primark for that matter - at those prices you know someone's being exploited.


Why didn't I know about wood-fired chicken at Franklin's? Can you buy a whole one to take home?

That would be the little portable thing outside Franklin's Farm Shop, would it not. ?

I live nearby and they only have a couple of prefabs on site. They've been in this location for over a year and initially listed their incorrect address which meant I was disturbed frequently by deliveries and potential job applicants which they only rectified once threatened with social media publicity.

It's both. I live nearby and have a photo from back in June last year of 3 portacabin kitchens - they had the 'restaurant' name on each one but I can't remember them now.


No consultation with nearby residents and I'm unclear as to whether they have the correct planning permissions, have been asking James Barber but haven't heard back. The recent news articles suggest not.

Well no doubt someone somewhere will compare and contrast food from #'real' kitchens and dark kitchens - an obvious test.

I don?t think Franklin?s do their wood-fired chickens any more and haven't for a little while. Maybe that is the aspect of Deliveroo?s model to which Seabag was referring?


On further inspection, there are rotisserie chickens available from ?Deliveroo Editions? which, when you look up the details of the ?restaurant? turns out to be based on Valmar Road in Camberwell (see SNews article linked to above). They are also priced way above what Franklin?s Farm Shop used to charge.

If that is the case people will lose confidence in the whole concept.


I'd think they'd make a huge effort to maintain quality.

I ordered from Yoobi without realising it didn't come from the restaurant, thought quality was excellent.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • 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".
