Has had a book written on it (http://en.wikipedia.org/w...) by the former owner and serves burgers, pizzas, kebabs, and drinks in a sit down diner-like atmosphere, also serves drinks. friendly and the food is of good quality.
Pubs
The Brickmakers Arms
Pub; aka 'the brickies' arguably the best pub on this side of the uck, local beers aplenty, but they don't have a lot of time for imported stuff don't expect any lime in your corona. sausage and chips â£3. you may also stumble across the old war hero otherwise known as jolley who's always there enjoying a drink or 5 and will be sure to entertain with amazing stories of his youth. it is not in the center, but if you get lost in 'ridgewood' and need a pint, it's not too bad.
