Shaves Thatch! Yes, that was the name of the first restaurant on that site. And yes it was a National garage, I can't remember when it closed but I'm pretty sure it was before the 1990s. I do remember it being featured in an advertising campaign. Because it resembled a country pub someone used...
Ok, this will really tax even NSC.
Last night we went to The Ginger Fox, which is a restaurant on the corner of the A281 and B2117, near Singing Hills golf club. Now many many years ago, back in the 1960s it used to be a petrol station. It was quite quaint as it had a thatched roof.
Anyone...
