Weaver Words Literary Festival enjoyed another successful week with many famous writers appearing. Main Street Café hosted a dinner where local writer and Weaver Words Patron, Tim Firth, (Kinky Boots, Calendar Girls), gave a talk on his life and work.
Owners Lucy and Abe Geldenhuys were also involved with the Festival of Walks and contribute to local schools and charities and love being part of the Frodsham community after lives and successful careers spanning South Africa, London and Cheshire. In 2020 they bought the former HSBC bank building and spent many hours during lockdown designing and regenerating it with mainly local trades, into the now beautiful restaurant.
Lucy, a Cordon Bleu chef, trained a close-knit team that prepares freshly made food, from breads and pizza dough to salad dressings and puddings. All-day dining is offered from breakfast, through lunch to dinner. There is a rear secret garden which can cater for parties and is a quiet oasis. The restaurant employs a hard working and loyal local staff of 20, with a full-time core and several young part-timers starting their employment journey. And if you want to spend a penny? Take a look on your left before the curtain – the door to the Bank vault is now an art work.
