Otta Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 CP does have some nice little places to eat, not so much the ice cream place (which I've not seen yet) although I do like the idea of galettes. It has a veggie / vegan place which is popular with those freaks too.

Jeremy Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I agree, CP does have quite a lot going for it these days. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25853-ben-and-jerrys/page/3/#findComment-580559 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every employee can take two cartons home a day - and they have free gym membership (not a surprise!)About ten years ago, they had some 'agony aunt' type thing on their website and one of the people in our office wrote in to say that she wanted to be more popular at work so they sent us enough icecream for all 100 of us. And yes, while I adore the gelato at Gelupo, sometimes B&J hits the spot. Sometimes you want steak, sometimes a burger.

Crazy woman I am, had 3 great years and back for more next year. You are right though about the dreadful weather, which really makes hardly any difference to opening in winter or summer! I don't think the ice cream parlour, whom ever it may be, will be opening until next spring.Must pop up and see how the crystal palace one is doing...Btw, we close this Sunday, so swing by and grab a remarkable Italian gelato.

MrBen Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 @Mrs Scoop - I take my hat off to you for opening when you did. And hope you'll be back soon. I'm no expert but the hippy free coconut gelato you did was the dogs nads.

PeckhamRose Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 The tour was great and they indeed told us about how workers can take two tubs home a day. I forgot to askabout the branch here, but they did promise they only use ethically sourced products and are very green. The water flushing the loos, sorry the Restroomfacilities, was ethically dyed blue and was water from elsewhere in the factory. But they have no sway over franchises in places like EDulwich overcharging,probably.
