HELLO...
Devon’s leading women’s hat hire business, Mrs B’s Bonnets, has opened at 11 Wolborough Street under proprietor Jackie Mucklaw (pictured) whose aim is “to showcase my range of spectacular hats and to make choosing them a fun and pleasurable experience.”
Jackie, who took on the 30-year-old business from former owner Paulette House, was born in Paignton, now lives in Newton Abbot and previously worked for Torbay Council for 20 years. Appropriately sharing premises with friendly family-run cafe Mad Hatters, the first floor shop is bursting at the seams with hats and fascinators for every occasion, from weddings and investitures to Royal Ascot and Royal Garden Parties – and including a range of men’s hats too. Hire prices range from £25-£90, a fraction of the cost of a high-end designer hat, covering a hire period of Thur-Tue. The shop is open from 10am- 4pm Tue-Sat and Jackie can be contacted on 07397 520070 or via
mrsbsbonnets@hotmail.co.uk. The website includes a 3D walk through the shop.
NEW confectionery shop It’s Treat O’Clock is a first-time venture for proprietors Ann-Marie Barker and Debbie Cornish (pictured). Friends for three years, they both live in Ideford and were looking for a ‘complete change’ in occupation, initially planning a tourist-based business featuring rock and fudge. Now the business at 5 Wolborough Street, next to St Leonard’s Tower, offers a range of gifts, sweets, jams and pickles – singly or in hampers or party bags – and is also a chosen stockist of Dartmoor Chilli Farm products. Future plans include catering sweets for weddings and introducing sticks of rock branded ‘Newton Abbot’. Open 9am-5pm, Mon-Sat, 07483 145771.
32 NEWTON ABBOT TOWN GUIDE
THE merry and mischievous moggies that hosted the country’s first cat cafe in Totnes from 2013- 2014 have found a new home at Moorview Farm, Denbury Road as the star attractions of a “feline therapy lounge,” the Cool for Cats Cafe. Clients can unwind with drinks and nibbles in the soothing company of an assorted clowder in a quiet countryside setting. The facility is part of a luxury cattery of the same name run by Liz Dyas and Bill Knott who have more than 22 years of kitty caring experience. The cafe is open Wed-Sat from 10am-4pm and its logo (pictured) is Frazzle.
