“They just don’t want to spend a lot of money. But they want quality and that’s what we offer.
“We’ve worked hard to get the price right and we’re going to do a lot of deals.
“We also change the menu almost every week to keep it fresh and fresh so that we can come here three to four times a month.

Murfitt added: “Last Sunday we served 150 lunches and it was very popular.
“Everything is going well and we want to develop it further. I really appreciate everyone who has supported us so far.”
