I'm sorry to see H&P closed.
Yes, it was expensive, but it is a luxury - meant for lazy Saturday mornings.
Yes, the mummy mafia acted like they owned the place, but that is hardly H&P specific (ref: East Dulwich). And, perhaps one of them does now own the place?
Yes, the coffee wasn't great. The machine was low-end and in any case the staff were not trained on how to use it - as was evident to see and taste. Still, it wasn't terrible.
Yes, it never seemed to have enough stock (and what they did have was hidden away). I know that we are used to supermarkets being overstocked and all the waste that entails, but if it re-opens, perhaps the new owners can make a better note of what has sold out and also take requests for the next delivery.
There's scope for so much more from that unit (fresh food boxes a la Riverford; freshly prepared meals; late opening wine bar etc. etc.). I hope the new owners breath some life back into it.
