MewNick Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 The new owner is a friendly lady with long dark hair and glasses, who has been working there for the past few weeks. But I will miss Mr Bora. I really hope the high standards and wide choices of products/vegetables are maintained. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchieCarlos Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Oh no! I wonder why this happened. As you say, I really hope they continue to have high quality and choice of produce, it's my favourite shop on the whole street. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewWave Posted Sunday at 21:39 Share Posted Sunday at 21:39 I find prices are pretty clearly marked per kilo and I've actually found the cost pretty fair for the quality of the produce. In fact I find it better priced than M&S who's fruit veg and sald prices have become silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr De Soto Posted Monday at 12:40 Share Posted Monday at 12:40 (edited) I love this shop. I regard it as a joyful expression of colour and freshness on Lordship Lane. Like an art installation. I probably go there once a month, and if over a year it turns out that I spend £25 more than I would have done at Sainsbury's or M&S (and I've no idea if that's the case), then I'm more than happy to have paid for the convenience and the personality of the place.

Agreed. And you will have saved the planet from several kilos of disposable plastic wrapping too! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglander Posted Thursday at 13:11 Share Posted Thursday at 13:11 I miss the greengrocers that was in Northcross Road. Loved going there and then to the pet shop and would then stop off for sustenance in one of the many cafes, most of which are no longer there.

I only remember two in North Cross Road at any one time when the greengrocers was there? The Blue Mountain was one of them, then Rose opened one at the back of her shop. There was a bar, The Drum, are you thinking of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, was including the Drum and the Blue Brick and it’s previous incarnation round the corner in Fellbrigg Road. I also liked the bar Inside 72 on LL that used to be the Cheltenham & Gloucester building Society. They had really good burgers and great music. Loved Blue Mountain in its first incarnation with the different rooms and booths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Drum used to be open after hours, you had to get in round the back. But crikey it was smoky 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
