Galley mourns loss of character chef John
A CONVIVIAL chef, once dubbed
-Lancashire’s answer to Keith Floyd, has died. Mr John Wright (pictured) filled his
life with adventures, many of the culi-- naryvariety.
,
. Born and educated a t Wilmslow,- . Cheshire, Mr Wright was a restamateur, : teacher and caterer.
- .
. Prior to his move to Lancashire, he was married to Juliana for 10 years and they had two sons, Robert and Richard.; While he was head chef a t Mitton
Hall, Mr Wright, a county-level discus thrower, met his second wife, Pat, a t the Aspinall Arms.
......... They moved to Read in 1977 with
' Sally and Samantha, P a t’s daughters from her first marriage, and soon after they had a son, David. In their early life together, they took
over the newsagents in Straits Lane, Read, and transformed i t into an Aladdin’s cave with a delicatessen and the French Food By Phone takeway business upstairs. Samantha, said: “He made French food such as chicken chas seur and steak diane for people to pop in
; their freezer, and takeaway pizzas. I t was quite revolutionary for th e ’70s.”
At the same time, he was a cookery
teacher at Nelson and Colne College and at the weekends the family ran a hotdog stand on the Nick o’ Pendle.
His next culinary adventure was tak
ing over at Crossways, Padiham, where he was a flamboyant host. He held cook ery courses and travelled around the
country giving cookeiy demonstrations too. In the .’90s, the recession forced him to
close Crossways, b u t i t was not long before his passion for cooking took him
down a different path. A true networker, he started to plan
and design kitchens for Premier League football grounds, top cricket venues (including The Oval) and several rugby - clubs. His firm was called Catering M^ge-
ment Services and was based in Read, but his work took him around the coun try. Mr Wright was just about to start work a t the velodrome to be used for the London 2012 Olympics. In his spare time, Mr Wright, known
to many as “Smokin’ John Wright” because of his 60-a-day smoking habit, was a keen follower of Manchester Unit ed.
Mr Wright’s wife, Pat, died of cancer
two years ago and recently Mr Wright found love with Valerie and they were engaged to be married this year. He was splitting his time between Read and Scotland. • “He was very friendly and his glass
was definitely half full. He was an eter nal optimist, a warm and funny man. The world has lost a true character,” Samantha said. The funeral was held a t St John’s
Church, Read, last week. He leaves his children and 13 grandchildren.

Extra help with rent and council tax
KIBBLE V ^ ey residents on a low income may be entitled to more help with their rent and coimcil tax payments. From November 2nd,
child benefit has no longer been included in the calculation for housing benefit and council tax benefit. This means that Ribble
Valley families in receipt of housing benefit or council tax benefit may be entitled to more help with ren t or council tax pay
ments. Ribble Valley Bor ough Council has auto matically recalculated claims for those already entitled to help. However, families who had previ ously just missed out on housing and council tax benefit may now qualify and need to contact the council to make a claim. Pensioners will also ben
efit from the change in. legislation, as the amount of capital they can own while making a claim has increased from £6,000 to
