Organic Village

Has anyone else tried the new food shop called Organic Village on Lordship Lane? (opposite the East Dulwich Tavern) I've started getting a lot of my food from there now, and I just wanted to say how impressed I am with them. The people who work there are always really friendly and they're always very well-stocked - they've just started stocking organic meat along with a great selection of fruit and vegetables. There were some things I wanted from there that weren't in stock the first time I visited, but they ordered everything I wanted in for me, so they get a big thumbs up from me for customer service. They're also open 'til late at night too, closing at 11pm, even on a Sunday! Really handy they're open late on a Sunday because most places on Lordship Lane seem to close down really early on a Sunday. Keep up the good work guys!

Yes I go there regularly... the fruit and veg is cheaper than the co-op (e.g. 4 limes for a pound, 39p each in the co-op - not to mention SMBS foods) and the tomatoes actually taste of tomatoes, not like what passes for tomatoes in supermarkets. And if you want specialist ingredients like pomegranate molasses or want nice turkish apple or cinammon tea, or some freshly made spinach and feta borek this is the place for you


I agree the staff are super friendly too :-)

I forgot to mention they've got a brilliant selection of fruit teas and coffees. I can't have caffeine so it was a real pleasure to find they've got organic decaf coffee. Also, when I went there the other day I was thrilled to discover they sell fine quality vegetarian and vegan red wine, all at very reasonable prices. For anyone who hasn't been shopping there yet, I'd certainly recommend going there.

    • I've found also that the Nectar lower price hasn't always been applied on 3 recent shops on various items. After the first shop where i noticed (likely happened many times before) I check the Smartshop scanner to see if it's been applied and if it hasn't then photo the shelf-pricing... you then have to get a refund at customer service. Not very efficient/a pain but would have spent over £5 more on 3 items. You won't be able to do this without using Smartshop unless you photograph every item at the shelf then go through them and the items on the receipt. Oh, and to get the refund you must also present the item at the customer service desk (not just the receipt and photo). I had to go to the car first time to recover ice cream.  
    • Is anyone getting rid of a play tent? I’m looking for one suitable for a 6 year old boy. Many thanks. 
    • FredMarsh Started conversation: 6 minutes ago I must agree ! Shopping in Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill has become very unpleasant ! The erection of coral fencing  to herd us all in one direction so that we can be observed by security prior to getting into the "shop" is quite horrible. The fresh meat counter has gone . The fresh fish counter has gone. The fresh cheese counter has gone. Most of the staff have gone ! Just a couple of attended checkouts left,  sometimes just the one with people waiting quietly inline But most people are herded into the payment coral and wait just as long to do a redundant cashiers job. unload your own shopping, place your bag in the right position so that it can be weighed and the quietly pick each item you are about to purchase , look for the barcode and pass the item across the scanner. Then put item in shopping bag.  What could be easier or more efficient ? If something goes wrong or you are trying purchase alcohol, just look round nervously, not wanting to make a fuss. If nothing happens start waving to the overworked member of staff in a sainsburys uniform  running up and down looking after a few dozen self service checkouts Don't forget to take your receipt (piece of paper that will be screwed up and discarded discreetly  shortly afterwards )  It's essential to present your receipt in order to escape the coral. There's nothing pleasant about Sainsburys any more. ! Why do I go there? Because I can get the whole thing over with and not get a parking ticket !! And NO !   I'm 77 completely knackered and am not going to get a bike
