The quality of their food is always excellent, no defrosted-refrosted-defrosted-refrosted chickken or duck there, unlike a couple other nearby places! <br />As you say, they also ALWAYS have provided vegetarian versions of all their meals!<br />Veggies are always fresh and the staff, although not very talkative, are always friendly and welcoming. <br />I went by this week and saw it closed - I hope it is only for a well-deserved holiday and not because of dwindling custom. I am sure they have suffered from the increasing numbers of take aways and probably also from the fact that the poor quality of some other local chinese have put off some... <br />It is funny how people talk a lot of 'community' it always need to be some trendy, hip, artsy fartsy bull.... I don't mean Transpontine, but I saw recently an invite to 'meet the community in Deptford' on a Sunday, as there would be a second hand market.... just not called a second hand market, just a poshed up and repackaged as a 'bootless boot fair'.... it just got me a little annoyed! <br />The daughter of the Uncle Wrinkle duo, is also an accomplished potter, there is a display of some of her work at the back... But I guess because they remain humble, Uncle Wrinkle is not part of the in crowd... it'd be nice if more local people supported their local businesses (as you say, we often tend to take for granted the stuff we walk by every day, it's only when it's gone that we realise how much we miss them!) instead of being taken in by the gentrified hype, who is here today but will be gone tomorrow no doubt!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
