My work place is owned by Hyde housing and they are horrendously slow. It took months and months for them to fit 2 bathrooms and that was when the contractors were on site. They kept ordering the wrong parts and things that did not fit. Finally it was done (last year) and we have just found out that...

I ventured in there today. Friendly owners, tasty food, good prices and will definitely be in again. Agree about the seating, not enough low down tables and chairs but understand this is probably due to it being a small space.
I wish them all the best!

I really want to like this cafe but I too found the food and drink both measly and overpriced for what it is. The coffees are far too small ( in my opinion charging large sized coffee prices for a small cup in comparison with kente, blue mountain or sugar hill) and I was also disappointed with their...

Am I mistaken in thinking it's a sofa at the back of the shop where the eating area is?

speaking as a vegetarian, I would definitely frequent a local vegetarian cafe/restaurant.

My family would definitely go to a local pie and mash.

Completely agree about Centre news and that Peter is a very nice and friendly chap.

Thanks. I'll try calling the young carers service.

Hi. I did not look at the toy library website, I just called the number that was given to me by social services. I have nothing against donating toys to charity shops/ playgroups etc as they go to a good cause and are enjoyed by children. It may appear that i will just have to give toys to them as I...

Just a brief update. I called Lewisham social services and they do not give toys to families/children or know of any organisations that do. They also suggested to call the toy library to see if they could be of help but there was no response when I tried. I will call the toy library again next week.

It's called Wylarbo chomp.

It sounds chinese/Japanese but is in fact a salad/sandwich bar.

Here are my top 10 sydenham businesses (in no particular order and most frequently visited). 1. Kirkdale bookshop- Fantastic stock, ideal for presents and my kids love going there. 2. Kente cafe- George is such a lovely and generous man, nice coffee and chilled atmosphere. 3. Bar 161- Nice place to ...

Oh yes, I didn't think of contacting social services or the toy library( sure start). I will give them a call later in the week. Thanks.

Hi. Is anyone aware of any local children's charities/ churches/ groups that donate used toys(very good condition) to local children/families(at their homes). I am specifically wanting somewhere that knows of local children that could benefit from some good quality toys. I would rather they go to a ...

I have yet to try Gurkhas. However the Lemon Tree is fantastic and the coconut chutney is amazing!

This sounds great and I must say you do a tremendous amount for the community- much appreciated!!
However, when I clicked on the link it just takes me to Gmail homepage?

That's brilliant, I'll give them a go, thanks!

Hello.

Can anybody recommend anywhere local that does trouser alterations?

Many Thanks.

A massive thank you to all those that organised it and to all of the businesses that participated. Your generosity and enthusiasm made it a fantastic and memorable event for my children.

Thank you.
