the blue mountain was never about the food it was always the coffee and tea which it was renowned for and even then it was more of a place to go for a cuppa and a chat rather than a bit of gorden blue(sic) and then you bought your tea and coffee for home enjoyment.i,ve been going there for a brew for years and will long continue to do so.its a ramshakle old place and i dont know what everyone else thinks but its got a bit of character about it and thats good enough for me.

I think the blue mountain got it's rep from times when there was no other alternative....


but my partner has just entered the room, is reading over my shoulder and says i'm being negative and the BM is great because it's friendly and they do help you out if you have buggies and small children. and they do great cakes. and we should support them rather than starbucks. but jacks is good too.


right she's gone, i think it's okay but nothing to write home about.

I think jim has hit the nail on the head there.. They put a lot of work in to the refurb and did a good job but the service has always been pretty poor. With a few exceptions. The coffee was still pretty good last time i went (blue mountain. Not reg) but too much is hit and miss food wise

Like TT, I liked it before the refurb - but i like it now too. The staff are friendly, cakes are fine - i hardly eve eat in there except for occasional breakfast so cannot really comment on food. The key thing is to avoid the very busy times. When it is packed, the staff are frazzled ansd frankly the place is a squeeze. Unpleasant. If I go there and people are queueing I just sail on by and go somewhere else.

Hadn't visited for ages (due to being given a p*ss poor bagel once that hadn't even been toasted) but decided to take my frail, elderly mother there for a coffee on Sat. While I nipped across to ED to get a birthday card for a mate, mum was booted off the terrace as apparently others were waiting for a table there. I won't be going back in a hurry.

I used to like the "which room is invisible today" lottery at BMC. Seasons could change and you could still be waiting in the Chinese room for someone to come and take your order.


James, that is unfortunate but if you'd been waiting ages for an outside table and someone came and parked his mum on it, what would you do?

I refuse to give the place my custom - the coffee isnt good enought to warrant a visit , the food is ledd than satisfactory ( in my limited experience ) , the staff inconsistant to say the least and being packed in like sardines can be pretty grim.


Still not sure why people still bother with the place - it doesnt seem to have a great deal going for it, 'specially now Drum & much of LL itsefl seem to provide better service, coffee and often value

I think there is a hardcore, militant group which feels that they own the tables outside. It's not a weather thing. Honestly, pass by on a sleety Nov morning and they will still be out there. I almost admire their dedication


It's not right your mum got bumped tho - I mean you were only across the rd getting a card - it's not like it was a table for 1 for an hour

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
