Blue Mountain vegan

[Sue]

I haven't been out much, and I just noticed this today.

The front inside is laid out as a shop, as it used to be when the Blue Mountain first opened back in the early nineties.

It seems they will do deliveries (menu in the window).

Does anybody have any more information?

Also, why has Maison Dog got its window boarded up? Has it closed down, or has somebody broken the window?

Maison Dog has closed, but the staff have all relocated to The Dandy Hound at 222 Rye Lane.

Sad about Maison Dog I thought the window had been smashed didn't realised they'd closed.

I walk past these 2 shops every day, i must say, a dog grooming shop seems like a very unnecessary thing in life. I have plenty of money to spend, but getting my dog minded in a shop would be the last way id spend it. It will do just fine in my house with a bowl of water and a bit of food left out.

I have gone out with some vegan women in the past and it was jolly hard trying to find a restaurant to schmooze them. In the end, i vowed to never go out with a vegan or vegetarian women again.

1/10.

Sad but at least staff ok. Hopefully, something new and exciting will open.

Yeah, we have a new bored troll on the forum

Is it half term? Perhaps more kids pretending to be grownups posting? It?s a rainy day after all.

Back to the thread subject - the blue mountain vegan has an instagram account so maybe have a look on there - i thought it was the original blue mountain team, but might be wrong - didn't look in detail. Anyway, a vegan cafe will probably be well received and there isn't another one locally so its great. Nice to see some independents being able to move back in - hopefully that will be the up side of the empty units in that the huge rents previously being wanted are unachievable for landlords, bringing them into the level of more interesting independents. There's a new Georgian wine place opening where Tart was for example too.

[Sue]

One of my neighbours says that it IS the original Blue Mountain team (they had a chat with them) - crikey, from the early nineties then!

Thanks for the info re Instagram, I'll have a look.

Yes, delighted to see a vegan place locally.

Very sad to hear that Tart has permanently gone, but glad to see another independent place is opening there. I hope the lovely conservatory at the back won't be changed too much.

Sounds from Admin's comment on the other thread that it is a repeat offender. Or at least someone known to Admin.

I saw the owner locking-up/opening-up a couple of days ago, so he's still around

[Ontherun]

Yes I saw the original chap (Mel I think) in there directing operations the other day - really pleased to see them back. I loved the original Blue Mountain, was a regular haunt with my little ones and they're now big & vegan so will be lovely to let them take me there!

[KidKruger]

Yeah, Melbourne.

Yes Mel was the owner he also opened two more Blue Mountains
