It was open on Sunday... I went in there and things were definitely happening.

I am going to reserve judgement as it was a very quick visit but I would have loved to have seen some cheeses olives and nibbles in their cold counter, but instead they seem rather geared up towards takeaway sandwiches. A curious approach as it is predominantly a residential area and they are competing with cafes like Petitou and Lucis and Richards lunch menus. But I wish them well and I am sure I will use it for last minute veg.

Yes it was a little bit disappointing, really, but I don't think they were quite ready ? it was less a deli than a collection of sandwich fillings in old ice cream tubs and a pile of unopened cardboard boxes. I think it will get better, though, as the couple seemed really nice and really keen to please. I think they just need a bit more stock ? and a bit more time.

Popped in this evening. V. v. sweet people running it. Some curios in the way of fairtrade stuff and persian rose petal pot pourri (slight exagerration for alliterative effect). Some good, tasteful flowers (? - ? as in why in a deli?). The rest wasn't particularly exciting except for some rather yummy looking chocolate brownies.


Nothing offensive however - God bless 'em and all who sail in 'em.

We are hoping to get our Vietnamese Coffee shop at 155 Bellenden rd open soon - still being delayed by solicitors at the moment.

We have been a great success this summer at Hackney's Broadway Market where we do our regular Saturday Saigon Street Cafe, so are looking forward to regular trading in Bellenden, when we will open London's first genuine Vietnamese coffee shop !

Look forward to seeing you eventually

Popped in tonight - very nice man serving, with loads of interesting produce. Business apparently is good, with lots of comments about local support - and the EDF...


He showed us the space in the back which is going to be a cafe, and also told us about the shop across the road is going to be a beauty treatment place. Lots of shops along Bellenden Road are apparently being filled

    • I know nothing about farming so can't really comment but when I read things like this interesting thread from Guy Shrubsole I am increasingly cynical about those making the loudest noise.  And yes it is a genuine link.    
    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
