Robert Poste's Child Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 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?

NewWave Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 We've given up on picture house and now go to the Everyman in Crystal palace instead Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/215672-why-is-the-service-at-picture-house-so-slow/#findComment-1308996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Poste's Child Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Might have to try that. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/215672-why-is-the-service-at-picture-house-so-slow/#findComment-1309005 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendelharris Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Come down to the Peckhamplex, ?5 a go and plenty of decent well-priced eateries for your pre/post cinema meal.

Robert Poste's Child Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 I used to go there a lot but gave up when the queues started getting ridiculous post trendification. Have they sorted that out now?

rendelharris Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 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.

Alan Medic Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Isn't a cinema for seeing films? A drink too maybe. Why would you want to eat there too especially in this area? What's next, expect to do the weekly shop at the cinema?

Robert Poste's Child Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 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.

Robert Poste's Child Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 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.

Robert Poste's Child Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 No offence taken (my focus for offence was the Picture House).

malumbu Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 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.
