Hello Paper Moon community.
This is our last post on this page and we won't be monitoring it from here on, simply because we don't have the access you require to keep informed as you need (or demand).
We will address some of your concerns here and then move forward to our new page with a fresh start.
Firstly, we did not buy a vegan business. It was not always and has not been for some time. It has transitioned through different stages at the choice of the proprietor as it will continue to.
We are not dairy farmers and a dairy company did not buy Paper Moon.
Our reasons for buying this business is that it's a special venue and area that suits our family's particular needs and has potential to be more. We fell in love with the space. The menu is not written in stone.
We had every intention of keeping it vegetarian if we could expand on that and only wanted a little time to find a way to make it viable as a family business in the constraints of the kitchen we have. Unfortunately, we were not given even a week to find our feet before being scrutinized and lectured by a hostile minority of people that were largely not customers of Paper Moon.
At the same time we saw far more potential customers leave because we don't offer what they want.
A few people took it upon themselves to attack us and spread lies amongst their own groups and forced our hands to make changes sooner than we wanted to, or at all.
We will continue to offer vegan options, namely those that are locally sourced and we will always respect your choices and do our best to provide a welcoming space to those who also respect us.
Any further inquiries about why we bought this business can be directed to us, only if you are willing to go through the same process we did and if you have the means, you are welcome to make an offer and keep it a safe space for you.
Put your money where your mouth is!
For those of you who understand this is not a charity and would not offer to work 60+hrs for free, please come find us at our new page while we settle in. π
We really do appreciate all the wonderful local support we've received from the majority of our community. π
