out for evening meals be­ came more popular in the North, staff problems have precluded many hoteliers from providing meals be­ tween the busy periods of lunch and dinner. But it has always been recognised that there was a demand for high teas, and the Spread Eagle intends to go some way towards meeting it.


EASIER As there is scarcely a


single Saturday throughout the vear when the hotel is not engaged in providing a welcome for wedding par­ ties. the accommodation at Sawley is likely to continue 1o bo' taken up by wedding


guests and the regular hotel clients on Saturdays. The popularity of the

One contributory factor is the easier

where the arched roof is similar in design and style to the old 13th Century Cistercian abbey, the arch­ way and ruins of which are just across the road from the hotel — and now pre­ served for the Nation.


WELCOME I t is not unlikely that the


original buildings forming part of the present hotel served the secular side of abbey life: and that they were retained (after the dis­ solution of the monasteries) for use for fanning. It is believed that public

welcome stimulus to the arduous hill climb! There followed a logical


progression to providing food, at first of the tradi­ tional “ ham and egs, farm­ house teas" variety: and, under Mr Trueman's aegis, to high cuisine.


Many of his staff have


been with him for quite a few years. His manager, Mr Peter Spencer, has been at the Spread Eagle for the past 10 years and has played a large part in the design and running of the chang­ ing establishment. The assistant manager. Mr Ian Tingle, has worked his wav- through various depart­ ments of the hotel in the past eight years, and both Mrs Spencer and Mrs Tinsrlc actively assist in the business.


The kitchen has a brigade


of keen young workers led by Mr Barry Chamley, who started at the hotel as a Junior Commis Chef; with another native of Clith croe area. Mr Jeremy Williams, who also joined from school and is now in charge of the dining room. Many of the dining room staff, with several years service, add the final touch


of the “ friendly, lannliu.- face” which, together with a dependable team spirit, helps to create the happy atmosphere which is so apparent when one sets foot inside the Spread Eagle.
