Date night at Oscars Ramsbottom

February 19, 2016 by Lee Leave a Comment

Oscars Ramsbottom, not one sign of a gold man or Di Caprio anywhere to be seen…

Me and my wife on Wednesday the 17th of February went to Oscars for the first time since moving to Ramsbottom. It’s a place that we pass regularly, but we’d never actually put the effort in to booking a table, or just heading over.

So, for Valentines day we went and had a meal out while Grandma looked after our son. (What, you didn’t go out on Sunday the 14th? No, of course not, that’s insane).

We had a table booked for 7:30 but we ended up being ready quicker then we’d anticipated, so rather then sit around and wait for half an hour, I rang ahead and asked if it were OK for us to head over for 7. They said it was fine, and we set off.

Arriving at Oscars there was plenty of parking available, there were quite a number of hotel guests already parking there – [Read more…] about Date night at Oscars Ramsbottom

Welcome to another episode of This is Rammy, this week in the run up to Valentine’s Day I’m having a bit of a love-themed episode.

In the week that Manchester was voted number 8 in a list of “The Happiest Places to work” in The Guardian I thought it would be good to get a head start on Valentine’s Day.

You’ll hear from Cheryl of Highfields Florists, Mike from The Card Shop and a special word from Stuart of The Vineyard on how he has love in a bottle!

Don’t forget that this is a podcast episode post, so you see that little play button up near the top left?

Give it a press to hear this episode in all it’s glory.

Even better, if you subscribe to the podcast, you’ll get it into your podcast player of choice or a link to the post emailed to you each week – so no searching around.

Baratxuri victim of vandalism

February 6, 2016 by Lee Leave a Comment

One of the most popular new restaurants Baratxuri has suffered at the hands of vandalism. An altercation on the street happened which resulted in a wheelie bin being thrown through the window. Staff and customers of Baratxuri were not involved with the individuals and it was an unprovoked case of mindless vandalism.

It seems to be quite a common occurence in Ramsbottom, a few years back there was a spree of windows being smashed on Bridge Street with Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary being hit twice over a few years.

I just spoke to Mike from The Card Shop on Bolton Street who has also had his window smashed in the past. He said “I know how I felt when I arrived to find that, so I can only imagine how Baratxuri are feeling”
