VIDEO: 'Whole new adventure' underway for owners of the Crow's Nest cafe

If you were left devastated by the closure of the Crow's Nest in Westgate Street - then you can now celebrate the opening of a new cafe by the same owners.

Dave and Anna Skidmore closed the Crows Nest at the start of the month, telling their loyal band of customers that they were starting a "whole new adventure."

And this week they have opened the Wonky Sarnie at Kestrel Court on the Waterwells Business Park - and opened early due to the demand of their loyal followers.

Anna Skidmore, who makes all of the special salads and bakes the cakes the café sells, said the move to larger premises had proved to be well worthwhile.

"The quality of the food hasn't changed, I've brought that with me. But we have a lot more space here," she said.

"There wasn't anything like this in Quedgeley and we're hoping to get the name out there.

"People are coming up from Quedgeley, Podsmead and Tuffley to have a look and have breakfast - something we couldn't do before."

The Wonky Sarnie has a extensive menu and promises to cater for all tastes, from those who need a bacon sandwich to vegans wanting a specially-mixed salad or homemade soup.

"We produce home made salads, vegetarian and vegan," Mrs Skidmore added.

"We make our cakes and soups. Everything we sell has been made be me or a colleague. It's a lot of work, but it is absolutely worth it.

"We offer gluten free, vegan and vegetarian. You can have a vegan sausage roll or salad, but you can also have a bacon and egg sandwich. We cater for everyone.

The Wonky Sarnie is at Unit 10 on Kestrel Court and is open from 8.30am until 4pm.
