Always a Warm Welcome

Our local pub, The Bounty, may be closed but their warm heart and welcome re loos and water is appreciated by locals and visitors alike.

 The publicans, Sue & Dave, are two of our local heroes.

Trying to Keep a Sense of Humour

Great Cafes blog and the three of us at Turpin Smale Catering Consultants know how tough it is for owners and staff at cafes throughout the land dealing with the closures, short-time working, cash flow challenges, staff worries and lack of customers.  We are very much thinking of you.

Our photos and stories are often prepared well in advance so we will keep going for as long as possible whilst home working.  We have a treasure trove of photos from a recent cafe tour of Australia and New Zealand to come.  Do send in items of interest to chris.brown@turpinsmale.co.uk

To all our blog readers; Keep well.
Chris
