Pleased to say it was all done as an ‘inside job”.  The hardwood sign was made by local furniture maker and avid customer Ben Atkinson, and the sign hoarding was reworked by another long-standing customer, Mr Chris Dobson. Hope everyone like its.

John choose a tuna sandwich and a bag of tyrells wocester sauce crisps for his lunch. Maybe we should rename our line caught tuna sandwich after the great man himself, next time your in for lunch simply ask for “The Craven”.
