Last night was time to slap on the make-up after a long day at the shop and go up to Sparth House at the invitation of our friends - Amanda and Shaun - the owners to join in the celebrations of their official restaurant/bistro opening, alongside The Worshipful Mayor of Hyndburn, Collette MacCormack - which saw guided tours of the newly created and designed eating area. The area, believe it or not was two former storerooms, adjacent to the kitchens, which Shaun (owner) - a wonderful builder, (everybody should have a Shaun) decided to change into a new extended restaurant/bistro area, to increase seating capacity and make somewhere for diners to go and enjoy on regular lunchtimes and evenings. With the menus now starting from £9.95 for two people for lunch and £12.00 for two in the evenings, alongside the A la carte menu, I don't think they'll be short of diners, with the quality they provide!!
