Battle cry goes up after vandals strike popular restaurant

Owners of a popular Cheltenham restaurant hunting down vandals have drawn on the famous battle cry of cinema's version of Scottish warrior William Wallace.

Spa town favourite 288 Bar & Wok, situated in lower High Street, saw its windows and doors smashed by vandals at 9.30pm on Monday (January 14).

Undeterred, it is keen to spread the message that despite the addition of several square foot of plywood to the space where its doors and windows were, it is business as usual.

Putting on a brave face for social media owner Pak Wai Hung referenced the Mel Gibson version of the Scottish legend William Wallace.

"They may take away our windows, but they'll never take our noodles! - Pak 'William Wallace' Hung

"If you hear or see anything on social media please send us the details. The police are doing an amazing job but let's share the s*** out of this.

"We will still open tomorrow as usual. We may be a little uglier but we'll still be cooking."

The appeal has been widely shared on Facebook and the many fans of the restaurant appear to also include street artist Dee Kay, who appears to have agreed to help decorate the aforementioned plywood.

If you have any information about the attack contact police with the incident number 417 on January 14, 2019.
