  • I’ve ridden past it a few times and peeked through the window. Both times at 10:30am the fridge looked well stocked and there were no customers.

    The butchers is just up Islington Park St, I think the diner on Upper St is still under construction.

    In terms of packaging- from what I saw most things looked pre vacuum packed.

  • Ah, thanks--in that case I only saw the diner. I didn't look properly (as per usual) and failed to realise there were two shops. I only saw the on-line sold-outness and assumed that was what I saw. Maybe they've only sold out on-line and not off-line. In some shops I've been to recently, e.g. record shops, there was quite a disconnect between the on-line and in-store operations. Oh yeah, it does say in the text on the site that the shop is still open.

    The packing thing is an issue for me (and has been for some time with vegan stuff, e.g. because quite often you get relatively little content in the packaging--understandable but still), but I've just heard that there are LDPE (low-density polyethylene) recycling stations. I probably missed them because apparently they're usually in major supermarkets, and I generally don't use those. I'll try to find one in my local area.
