YOU might have heard of the “flying wait er” but meet. Clitheroe’s version - flying
waitress Rosie Hollis! Today the 20-year-old former Ribblesdale High School Technology College pupil embarks
on a five-and-a-half hour flight to the Gambian coastal city of Fajara, where she will spend a
"^^On landing, she will meet up with her employers - the co-proprietors of Clitheroe s Weezos Restaurant chef Stosie Madi and front
of house manager Kathy Smith. Stosie comes from Fajara originally where
she owns and operates two other restaurants. Kathy’s brother A. J. Nolan, a former pupil
of St Mary’s College, Blackburn, manages these businesses and welcomed both Stosie and Kathy “home” on Friday as they jetted in for a well-earned two-week break. Weezos was recently awarded both a Les Routiers plaque and Hi-Life Diners’ Club Gold
Plate Award. The popular restaurant will re-open on Saturday, April 15th. Rosie, who lives with her mum in Black
Lane Croft, has worked at Weezos Clitheroe, in Parson Lane, since it opened just over a year ago. So impressed by Rosie’s commitment and
enthusiasm to the job are Kathy and Stosie that they are rewarding her with the all- expenses-paid trip. Says Rosie: “I can’t wait to go to the
Gambia. “I have been to Spain and other Euro
pean countries, but this wiU be my first time in Africa. Kathy and Stosie tell me it will be hot and sunny - about 38 degrees - so I’m looking forward to relaxing on the beach and visiting some traditional markets.” However, duty will call on the Saturday
evening of Rosie’s stay. Rosie, who has qualifications in business
hospitality management and ambitions to one day open her own restaurant, said: “The British anibassador to the Gambia is dining at Weezos Fajara that evening along with other local VIPs. “They are long-standing friends of Kathy
and Stosie, so Stosie has taken some Ribble Valley delicacies such as Goosnargh duck out with her to cook for them. “To keep up the Lancashire connection, I
will be waitressing, but I’ll also be sharing the meal as well, which should be an experi
ence.” When not working, Rosie enjoys socialis
ing with friends. Tables at Weezos Clitheroe, which like Weezos Fajara, takes its name from a nick- __ name given
to.Stosie’s dad, can still be
