Le Chardon - terrible service


Barking84

Recommended Posts

Well - I'm going to give Barking84 a break. I have been on the receiving end - although admittedly this was back in 2008 - and we did nothing to provoke it, being impeccably behaved and polite. I think our mistake was ordering soup from the lunch menu. Luckily we were chilled out enough to see the absurd 'humour' in the situation ...and the soup was goood!

I've given up going there now because I've had terrible service nearly every time I've gone, as have a lot of other people on this previous thread:

I've also found that the food can be really variable.

AND GRACE3 I THINK YOU MIGHT BE MY FAVOURITE. NOT BY A LONG WAY - THERE ARE PLENTY OTHERS ON HERE. BUT A BIT. YOU'RE SWEET. WE MIGHT BE FRIENDS IN REAL LIFE - NO WE MIGHT, WE BOTH LIVE IN EAST DULWICH AFTER ALL!!!!


SEE YOU ALL IN REAL LIFE WHERE PEOPLE ARE NICE TO EACH OTHER (NOT Le Chardon obviously - somewhere else!)


WON'T BE BACK IN A HURRY. (AND PLEASE MAKE SURE SOMEONE LEAVES THE IMPORTANT 'WE DON'T WANT YOU BACK/NOT SAD TO SEE YOU GO POST' - I'D BE SAD NOT TO SEE IT! EXCEPT I WON'T SEE IT. BECAUSE I WON'T BE BACK.


AND I'M WRITING IN CAPITALS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT GETS A LOT OF CHAT IN AND OF ITSELF.


(AND EDCAM - THEY'RE NEVER FULL, GET REAL! lol!)

Hardly short-shrift - it's called debate and is what ensues when one posts criticism - hard to judge now though as it has been deleted. And I was referring to the 'final' post rather than the merits of the argument. Still, so much easier to make a quasi-pithy point and add your own '???'s and flounce out, no?

Quality flounce.


It is a funny place though, Le Chardon. We went a couple of times many years ago when we first arrived (it's one of the most appealing looking places on LL at first sight).


The service was a bit dodge, I have to say. The food was kinda okaaaay, but not overly memorable. If either of those two things had made a better mark, we could have made allowances for the other. But the two together.. hmmm.


In all honesty it's never crossed our minds to go back. Not in a 'nevuuur, nevurrr, NEVUUUURRRRR!!' way; just in a 'almost forgot it was a restaurant we could go to' kinda way.


Maybe it's an acquired taste.

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
