Sydenham Fairtrade Fortnight

[admin]

Just got a Press Release announcing Lewisham Fairtrade Fortnight from 23 February – 8 March.

Five cafes across the borough on Friday 6 March will be offering a free cup of fairtrade tea or coffee to their first 50 customers. And one of them is Sugahill. Well done Chris!

A Fairtrade stall will be held after service on Sunday 22 February at the Grove Centre Church, 2 Jews Walk, Sydenham SE26 6PL.

Anybody else organising Fairtrade events in SE26 that fortnight?
Faitrade is best explained here: http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/

I fully support this...and fairtrade. I've worked with them and other fair trade organizations and they are passionate people working for something they genuinely believe in.

Well done to Chris and Sugahill for supporting this.

I like Sugarhill but not been open the last 2 times I have tried to go there.
Had to resort to Blue M which is no where near so good.

I finally made it to Blue Mountain with the family this weekend. It was nice but I have to say I was a little disappointed given some of the favourable reviews found here on the forum. The coffee was OK but not outstanding (e.g. no crema), the bread for the sandwiches tasted highly of baking soda or something similar and my big breakfast came as advertised rather than as requested. There wasn't a great selection to chose from and with the pies now gone it seemed to be sarnies or fry-ups with cakes/pastries. My wife enjoyed her panini and the staff were friendly. In all, a nice place and it seems popular but don't feel a major urge to rush back. YMMV.

I think the management may have changed in Blue Mtn. Was in there on Sat and noticed that the pies were gone and there were new things on the menu such as jerk chicken. My croissant wasn't as fresh as on previous visits. They've also relocated the fruit and veg to the other side of the shop which makes the other shelves look really bare. I hope this isn't the start of a deterioration....
