rahrahrah your constant banging on about other people's opinions, just because they happen to be different to your own are pretty damn tiresome too. I could easily throw that yawn right back at you. Get over it. Some people like to hold local business to account for the right reasons rather than saying everything is lovely and cuddly just for the sake of it. That's life. Sensible critique keeps everyone on their toes.

Oh, do get over yourself! Please.


Just because you are on school holidays, doesn't excuse your irritating behaviour.

School holidays? Erm slightly confused by this comment. Get over myself? I'm merely defending myself against people claiming I am deliberately negative about new businesses, which is not the case. I would like more variety in the local restaurant scene, is that a crime? We currently lack a Mexican or Greek place of any description. As for the Chinese restaurant choices they are definitely way back in the 70s still. Your comment is suggesting I am not allowed to be critical of the ED sacred cow that is the restaurant scene, correct?

Utter nonsense another case of selective reading looking for Foxy & Louisa posts to sneer at..

Did you miss this one ?


When it was Andreas's it was a Greek shop and was owned by relatives of a guy I used to work with in Telecoms.


It is a great place and is indeed a rare example of a LL business actually flogging decent stuff.

Very helpful and friendly and unpretentious.

P.S. Bet no one comments on Foxy being positive.




Just one of many Foxy's positive posts. Like the ones on various Indian outlets, Dulwich DIY, SMBS,

Hisar, Clipper, Iceland...

P.S I get good service in other ED outlets but do not feel the need get hysterical and post here

every time I buy a cake, loaf of bread or cup of coffee.

1) it appears they are doing very well at the prices they are charging - hence their expansion to date

2) they'd be wrong to change a winning formula/price point

Arhh.. Nail on the head... I think.


If Franco Manca can make it work charging low, reasonable, realistic prices.


Then the suggestion that other businesses are having to charge over the top to cover rents

by unscrupulous landlords does not hold water.


You cant have it both ways..


I rest my case .

I have never slagged off this place.


I have only ever spoke about my dislike of Pizza and its nutritional values.


Even before it had opened I commented on the place being the best transformation of any outlet in E.D.


So give Foxy a break..

    • I’m not sure home delivery will replace physical supermarkets. I got the impression that they’re generally loss- making for the retailers and they’d much prefer to encourage customers back to the shops. I read somewhere that the typical Ocado order was around £100 but costs Ocado £120 to fulfill. It works for M&S because they have roped Ocado into a contract where Ocado carry the bulk of the loss.
    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed.
