Duck egg

Recommended Posts

Well Greengod liked it enough to post about it and recommend it to everyone, he/she can't be 'wrong' because its down to personal taste. So say what YOU prefer, but don't phrase it like the OP is wrong.

I doubt the OP is now thinking "oh yeah, it was actually a rubbish breakfast - those clever EDFers just made me realise...doh !!".

You will also be aware of the British sea-front cafe technique.


Always sit in the window seat. You will get a larger diameter plate and a bigger portion.

I haven't been to the ED branch but had lunch in the Brixton one on Saturday. I thought ?4.50 was a little steep for a chicken and avocado sandwich which turned out to be just cooked chicken breast, slices of rather hard avocado between two slices of processed seeded bread that seemed suspiciously like Saisburys seeded bread that i buy for toast. No salad, no garnsih not nothing. Whilst not a bad sandwich, i would have been happy with it from a trad old style greasy spoon cafe for ?2.50, i expected a lot more for ?4.50

Haven't been in yet but looked at their menu in the window on Saturday and thought the prices were definitely at the top end for an ED breakfast.


The picture posted above hasn't encouraged me to venture in, I must say.


Greengod, when you say your brunch was "cooked just as I asked", what did you ask for?

xxxxxxx


Please don't think I'm being "funny", and fair enough that you thought it was good food, but how can you post that it was "value for money" if you don't know how much it was?


Sorry, I know that sounds rude but I can't find a more tactful way of putting it :(

    • I have been having problems with inpost as well recently (also Vinted parcels) one eventually showed up at Ronnies supermarket after 2 weeks of me trying to chase it.  I currently have another delivery coming from Enfield area but looking at the parcel’s  journey  it went from Dartford to Swansea and back again and now they have been trying to deliver it to the lockers but they are full!  🤦🏻‍♀️  I would have happily paid for home delivery but that option was not available!     
    • Ok, latest news!  Went into Barry's yesterday, spoke to a staff member (possibly manager) who seemed knowledgeable, he said that they DO refuse parcels from InPost / Yodel because they haven't got the space for the ~300 parcels the van turns up with! So the tracking info IS correct when it shows refused. He said he would call me when the van arrived so I could quickly go there and try to get my parcels. He didn't, but I did get a notification at 4.34pm that ONE of my parcels had arrived (the oldest one). When I went to collect it, that staff member wasn't there, and the others just shrugged their shoulders when I asked why they hadn't called me, and why the other parcels hasn't been accepted. I then had a notification for another delivered parcel at 8.39pm. I've just been to collect it, but it's not there, and not on their system as being delivered. More shrugging of shoulders.  I've just called InPost (tbf, at least they have a phone service and staff that are semi helpful) who confirmed that the parcel had been refused again, put the notification down to a mis-update, and that delivery will be attempted again today. Interestingly, they also said that the shop could only refuse TWICE, after which they MUST take delivery, but this doesn't seem to mean much in practice.  What's not clear is whether, without me calling InPost, these refused parcels would be returned to the sender after X attempts. I've requested that mine are attempted until they are delivered, and apparently InPost have requested that mine are definitely accepted on the next attempt. We'll see later today. But the main thing for me is that I seem to have gained clarity, that stores ARE refusing deliveries due to space restrictions (especially with the increased number of parcels at this time of year), and it would appear that most of the lockers are also full, so probably also causing refusals. I'll be paying the small extra premium for home delivery from now on...
