Heads up re. Smith and Brock / Knock Knock Groceries

Recommended Posts

To anyone who has ordered or is thinking of ordering.


I ordered a large box at lunch time yesterday. The email acknowledgement said "we will let you know when your order is ready to be delivered".


I hadn't heard anything 24 hours later so rang just to see if it would be coming today, as if not I will have to get some food in.


The man who answered the phone told me their lead time is "currently 4 days". So I said, so I should expect my box ordered yesterday on Thursday or Friday then? He replied "probably Saturday".


I am posting this here just to let people know, as there is no information about delivery dates on the website nor on the email acknowledgement.

I have an order in from yesterday but understand they are new to this


I'd rather they actually manage to deliver than just don't turn up (eh Co-op).


I'm dreading my run to Tesco 2 minutes away - outside looks busy - some girl loudly coughing (I think on purpose to annoy people)

If anyone wants an alternative, check out spiers salads. Full disclosure they are Part owned by my wife?s cousin (who lives in brockley) but we have ordered fruit and veg through them and its great. I know others who have as well and reviews have been very good.

They used to run salad bars in the city and like others they have had to adapt, or indeed die. They too were struggling a bit to keep up with the incredible demand but have since joined forces with a local delivery company (who themselves have had to adapt from their original model delivering food to restaurants) to increase capacity to around 500 deliveries a day to south east london. Monday is full but Tuesday has space.


Check them out.


Stay safe everyone.

Hey everyone.


We're a local catering company and have launched our delivery boxes full of fresh ingredients. We deliver on Tuesdays and Thursdays and are taking orders now.


We're experienced caterers but have only recently started this delivery venture so have plenty of availability!

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
