i stopped frequenting the Blue mountain cafe a few years ago due to poor service but met the owner recently at the goose green fair where he assured me things have changed. had a brief window of opportunity away from our new born twins today and took number one child in for a treat. 30 mins after ordering, no sign of our scrambled eggs, so we had to leave. as we got up to go, the food arrived, too late. my son was in tears.


very disappointing. it doesn't look like things have improved there after all. the place was virtually empty, not busy at all.


excuse one handed typing.

Many, many congratulations on your twins. Didn't realise you were expecting two! Might see you on school run sooner or later but what did you have boy/girl, girl/girl, boy/boy?


Always had the same experience with Blue Mountain but their scrambled eggs are to die for. In fact, love all their food but only go when I have got the time to wait around!

I really liked this place but have gone off it, too. It's just a bit too big to have a lovely local cafe feeling. The servers are on the whole good, but there are not enough of them. my advice? Take a walk to the Upper East Side and give Jacks a go. Or apply for a visa and go to SE15 for a Petitou nosh-up.

because my main aim when i go into a cafe is to eat some food... and on this occasion, i didn't actually succeed.


bmc - nil points!


it's not very complicated, really!!

Been in there 3 times, and left each time before even ordering - Call me unlucky but the staff have always been pretty off and not made us feel welcome at all - I'm not asking for any special kind of treatment but the last ime the waitress tried to move me whilst still in my chair - nice.......

HAHA.. It's so funny when middle class people start to realise that they are being ripped off. Oh well, i'm sure one sale of a portion of scrambled eggs on toast would have taken place at some point during the day which would no doubt keep the place going for at least another week. Bloody rip off.


Louisa.

I went to the BMC on tuesday morning this week - it was good service and the food was fantastic. Sometimes you do have to wait for good food but it seems I was one of the lucky ones. The place also had some mums and toddlers in making loads of noise but loving it!


Nero - where is Petinou? what type of place is it?

I had two breastfed 6 week old babies at home, and needed to be home in an hour! Wanted to have a treat with my 5 year old, I never dreamed an hour wasn't long enough to have a croissant and scrambled eggs.


I usually have breakfasts in the cafe by the video shop, but I thought BMC might do icecream or something we could have after the scrambled egg, as it was a treat. In the end I dried his tears and we got icecream in hope and greenwood.


I did leave a written complaint at BMC, so we'll see if they get back to me and apologise.



What IS the matter with you Louisa??


This is all about poor service - and I haven't been to the BMC more than 3 or 4 times in last 4 years - it always seems busy so I doubt it misses me. Service has always been scatty in there and a shame to hear it hasn't improved. Food has mostly been solid but then I've only gone for breakfasts so not much room to mess up.

The only reason I don't go more often is the fact that it's always really busy, I know the service will suffer and by god it gets loud in there

HAHA.. It's so funny when middle class people start to realise that they are being ripped off.


This is a ridiculous comment.


I've been there a couple of times and it's been fine. The last Sunday I went they had a few teenagers running the show who were a bit all over the place but very charming with it.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
