legalbeagle Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Green & Blue are opening again tonight - perhaps those of you who are fans can pop in for a drink to show them some support and get them back up and running quickly?

wee quinnie Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Fantastic - was just thinking about them a couple of hours ago, along the lines of "wish they'd re-open properly....in need of some tarta di santiago..."Will prob pop down on Tues Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2829-green-blue/#findComment-87387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalbeagle Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 I gather that the drains are now fixed - an assistant at Celestial told me that they had had workmen in fixing the problem so looks like all will hopefully be back to normal.

legalbeagle Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Nutty - that is the impression the assistant gave me, and I did notice that part of the back of Celestial was screened off last week as work was going on out the back.

david_carnell Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 G&B have apparently launched a legal action against Celestial for ?150,000 for loss of business.The work took three days once access to the drains had been granted.Rumours suggest that Celestial is already heavily in debt due to loans/mortgages to renovate/let the flats above. This action could enforce their closure if they were to lose.I'm not sure what I think.

SeanMacGabhann Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 dave_carnellnot that I'm doubting your info or anything, but given the sensitivities and legal process, and without full access to all the facts I'm abstaining from any comment(but I think I know who's side I'm on) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2829-green-blue/#findComment-90961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Sean we all know what side you'd be on.Like you I won't comment without all details, but if what David says is true, I think it's pretty low.How long were they closed for all together?

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I was in G&B just over a week ago. I got chatting to the chap behind the bar and he told me the same information. While I understand how emotional it has all been, I did think at the time that it smacked somewhat of slander. I think they need to be very circumspect about the whole business.

david_carnell Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I think they were closed for a good few weeks. Enough to have cost them ?150k.The G&B blog doesn't offer much illumination but by the sounds of things they came close to going to the wall. Could be hyperbole though.

Keef Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 If they turn over 150k every few weeks, then I have even less sympathy. Celestial must have let them access the pipes in the end, so to stab them in the back after sucks.

david_carnell Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 By the sounds of that blog they were only given access after threatening legal action. Turn-over is very different to profit Keef. Granted, some costs will be lower with the restauraqnt closed but the biggest bills (rent, rates etc) will remain constant.
