Shrewsbury Chronicle 14th August 2009
The launch of a new wine bar in Churcb Stretton, which has created up to 12 jobs, has been welcomed by the community.
Housmans in High Street opened its doors recently with a special launch night for people to sample a wide variety of cask ales, ciders, wines and spirits as well as food with a Meditenanean twist.
Run by resident Ian Barrett and his son Mark, Housmans is open six days a week, serving up tantalising dishes using local produce, ranging from tapas to pastas and seasonal dishes.
It is a new venture for Mark, who has just commpleted a five year career in hairdressing.
He said: “It has gone very well so far and on the opening night we were full to the rafters. This week has been quite busy too and most evenings we have been fully booked, as well as being busy at lunch times.
“We have had positive feedback from everyone, so far and the separate menus for lunch time and evening meals have proved to be popular.
