Baratxuri Manager Jamie Preston showing off awards

It’s not surprising that the talented teams behind the great Ramsbottom Restaurants we have like The Eagle and Child, Baratxuri and Lavanter to name just three, win awards with the hard work and dedication that they put in.

This time the multi award winning is down to Baratxuri. They won Out of town venue of the year and Casual Restaurant of the year in the Manchester Food and Drink Festival 2017 awards.

Last year it was The Eagle and Child and Levanter who brought home the silverware.

Amazing work for all involved and thank you for bringing home yet more awards for our fantastic town of Ramsbottom!

Is there Poison in the park again?

by Leave a Comment

I’ve just witnessed a family rushing their limp dog out of Nuttall Park in their arms clearly concerned for its welfare.

Nuttall Park has had issues in the past with poison being apparently placed in areas where dogs walk assuming as some sort of sick act.

Bury Times – Vet voices concern following string of suspected dog poisonings in Ramsbottom 

I hope the dog makes a full recovery and that it wasn’t another issue of poison in the park.

Bang and Olufsen to open in Ramsbottom

Sign says Bang and Olufsen to open in Ramsbottom

Could this be a sign that Ramsbottom is breaking away from its independent high street image?
The shop on Square Street which had previously been Velvet had been closed since Velvet moved to Bridge Street.

We’ve all been wondering what it would become and now the signs are up and the answer is Bang and Olufsen.

If you’re not familiar with the name, Bang and Olufsen are a high-end manufacturer of multimedia equipment such as Televisions and Hi-Fi Equipment.

I’d personally be interested to know if Bang and Olufsen are going to join the Business Group, I’m not sure how it works for them given they’re not independent.

What do you think about the thought of larger high street chains entering Ramsbottom? A welcome change from restaurants and coffee shops or a break from what keeps Ramsbottom high street unique?

 

I spoke to Karon after the shop was broken into on episode 94 of the podcast.
