Supporting local business in SE23

I just had food delivered (Malaysian belly pork And beef rendang) by Francesca from @Lazypeach! Very delicious which was what I expected. Check out her instagram account she only does delivery once a week :slight_smile:

That sounds good. Pity it’s only once a week though!

Hi all, I left my beloved SE23 just before lockdown was announced to keep my mum company for a few weeks as she lives on her own… I’ll be coming back soon and this thread is SUPER useful as I plan which of the wonderful local businesses I can support when I do.

One question I haven’t seen asked yet – is Finches still open?

Their website suggests they are open - https://www.finchesemporium.com/ Monday to Saturday 9am to 5.30pm.

Yes, letting in 2 customers at a time and Angela and Frank are both there.

Had my wheel fixed by them last week! They are short on staff (purposely I think) but open for business, mainly servicing and repairs.

Perfect, thanks guys. Might be time to get myself a bike…

It’s great they are open to customers… but how does there service fall under essential shops?

ETA. Apparently bicycle shops are listed as essential. Fantastic.

Yep. Bike repair is a pretty essential service if your transport to essential work is a bike.

Despite the bikes in the windows, I was thinking of their snowboard and ski sales. Not so useful in London. :crazy_face:

Goggles? :wink:

This looks like a great idea (though I haven’t read the small print):

We are offering 100% free fundraising to help businesses to secure trade by pre-selling vouchers, goods and services.*

This is a wonderful idea – I hope some of our local businesses can try and take advantage.

Any ideas if Matoom will reopen for delivery or takeaway?

Had a great takeaway from Donde last night. And it was delivered. They are open 4 - 9 to order - 0208 291 2822.

I wonder if a 5 hour round trip to do a takeaway would be classed as an essential journey :grin:

Thanks for the tip off. Lovely takeaway from Donde on Friday. Large portions so two nights cooking covered in one. Result!
