I'm just making the point that if you charge as much as a michelin starred restaurant at least serve decent food. It doesn't have to be michelin starred quality, just well cooked, well thought out, basic stuff that any good gastropub would provide. And why should you have to pay more because they are on your doorstep? The rents in ED are nowhere near as high as the rents in central london. Alternatively, go up to Joanna's in Crystal Palace - always great and you never feel ripped off. Or the Rosendale who have slashed their prices and you still get a really classy meal.
I quiet agree Asset. . . There are 3 or 4 recent contributors to this thread who should be totally ashamed of the borish 'one up manship' rants. How they have the time and headspace, god only knows ! I bet they haven't got the balls either to go and speak to the manager direct and are spineless nerdish buffoons who can only limply tap away on the computer all day . Very very sad !

Honest I posted this earlier, but I suppose it got lost in the lounging somehow. But I meant it then and I mean it now.

Please everyone I beseech you to treat this post like a roundabout.

Whale. Jam jar. Two hundred megaton bomb.

Just walk away.

I really like the Palmerston - the food has always been good, the service friendly and the price is reasonable for a good quality meal. We have been going there periodically for over 4 years and in that time I have never had a bad meal or left feeling disappointed.


We cannot all like the same things, and what an awful place this world would be if we did, and so if you don't like the Palmerston then don't go there - at least it will mean that those who do like it will be able to get a table!

I know Moos, still have a chip. Go on it only cost 32p at the most.

Slather some ketchup on it, it's proper Heinz so it is.

Do you know what? I can't understand the criticism... If wasn't any good, so why The Palmerston is always (and I mean it) always fully booked? I've tried to get a table in there couple of times without booking in advance, not sucessfully though. Then they advised me to call and reserve the table previously. Great, no problems since then... Comfort food, great staff and nice atmosphere. I am a regular. What else can you ask for? Come on folks, lets pay the price of quality. Agreed TJ.

    • 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". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
