40 minutes to not get s portion of fries. I mean, come on!


W Norwood even worse: recently they said a wait of ten mins. After 30 mins I asked politely if it would be soon as worried about missing the start of the film. The woman was really rude and talked to me as like I was trying to report a missing person. When it arrived it was cold. The chicken and avocado burger had literally about a teaspoon of avocado. Instant stomach ache. Is it because they're striking for the London living wage so only feel able to deliver 80%? Night out in zone 3: two tickets to a film, one cold burger and chips, one bottle indifferent red: ?70.


Did I say I'm annoyed?

I go about once a fortnight on weekday evenings (usually the 18.25 show) and we never queue more than a minute or so, they have plenty of staff on. Also I believe it's possible to order online and collect from a separate window if you wish.
Well, they do sell food and as I had an HOUR to spare before the film started and hadn't had time to eat after work a portion of chips seemed not unreasonable. It's not like I asked the person in the box office to close it while they made something in the staffroom just for me.

The Bike shop (on Rye Lane) does coffees (which is nice) :) it's the way of our brave new world.

So does the barber in the village. Funny, really, to think you can get a good cup of coffee served promptly at the barber but over the road in the Crown & Greyhound you wait ages for something not very hor or tasty.

Apologies, my last remark was a bit sarcastic.

Thanks Mick. I think it's my only talent.

I miss the Old Ritzy - great line ups including all nighters, often dreadful sound, and homemade style snacks with no loud popcorn. Once subsidies went that was the most of the art house cinemas. I suspect that Peckham is as Arthouse as most of the mainstream places.

    • I understand that, but I can't really grasp how it works in practice, but never mind 😵‍💫
    • It's local independent shops supporting one another.
    • Adding my recommendation for Niko too. Found his number on here and he came out at short notice on a busy weeknight to help us with a kitchen sink issue that had flooded our kitchen that day. Really helpful, responsive and went out of his way to fit us in and help us out. Very reasonably priced too - would thoroughly recommend!
    • Looks like it! Though according to the OP, they are "golden, hand-crimped parcels  packed with flavour" 😀 I don't understand. Admittedly my brain is functioning at a very low level at the moment. Does that mean various local shops get together and agree to offer a discount to anyone who shows them a receipt from one of the other ones dated the same day? I can't see what's in it for either of them, unless people shop somewhere they wouldn't otherwise have done just to get the discount. Is it for vaguely  linked things, say cheese from a cheese shop, wine from another shop? Showing my age there.  And then suppose it's always the same shop which people go to second to get the discount? What's in it for the first shop? People go there in order to get the discount in the second shop?
