Ahh, a voice of infinite reason! Where's the rush, people? If it were in France, you'd love it and say it has charm.. 'Fickle' is one word extremely apt for the residents of ED!

Why is it always the emails (and mobile messages) guaranteed to cause most inconvenience/embarrassment if you don't receive them which go into some black hole for several days between the sender and recipient?


And where do they go ?!?!?!

Ahh, but if I were in France, I'd be on holiday... and therefore wouldn't mind the wait so much! I don't think there's anything fickle about not wanting to wait 40 mins or whatever for your lunch.


It would be nice if the owners could come on the forum and tell us what they're doing to improve the service. Surely it's also in their interests to turn the tables over a bit more quickly?

McDonald's in Peckham's reliably quick!!


Agreed though it'd be nice if BMC came on the forum to have a word, like Kate from G&B did when they received a lot of flak. It's good publicity and won G&B a few fans; so much better than having a go at the Admin* behind the scenes or telling customers what miseries they were like another proprietor did once.

Mockney, can you point me to the post that states the owners approached the admin behind the scenes? I cannot find a reference to it.

I've been going to the Blue Mountain cafe for quite some time and have generally found it to be great. I like the ambience and the staff. Must admit that I generally go for quiet times when I can be assured there will be little trouble getting a table or being served. And I usually go for coffee and cakes rather than cooked food. Having young kids myself I can sympathise with Fuschia and her sense of being disappointed when she took a precious moment for a quick treat.

But taking this to the general, I have seen some pretty rude behaviour from patrons in there. Some take that haughty "I am the customer and you must serve me" approach and it rather bugs me. If I was the waiter, or the proprietor I'd be inclined to go slow on the rude punter on table 4. The BMC seems a very successful cafe and can probably afford to lose a few customers. Perhaps its their way of flushing out the more demanding ones.

I can assure you we weren't at all rude, certainly not when we went in and ordered, and not even when we left before our food arrived!

I don't think there has ever been any suggestion that Fuchsia had to wait half an hour to be served because she was rude to BMC staff??


:-S


Edited to say: Sorry posted at same time as Fuchsia :-$

    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
