“We’re going to be delivering great food, great prices and great service all day, every day.

“I am sure we are going to wow our guests with our exciting new menu featuring Firecracker Chicken, Steak & Bombardier Ale Pie and a ‘square’ shaped burger, adding a touch of fun.

“I’m sure there are so many families within the community who are an inspiration to others through their voluntary work or who have overcome hurdles but don’t get any recognition.
