Success on menu for renamed restaurant
A RESTAURANT is using locally-sourced produce to help keep Sunderland in business and a smile on the face of pensioners.
Baker Street in High Street West is offering OAPs a bargain Sunday roast, and the restaurant is dishing up a credit crunch-busting carvery at just 99p for the first 20 elderly customers.
All the money from the cut-price meals is going to MacMillan Cancer Care from now until the end of the month.
The city centre eatery, which specialises in fish and chips and carvery, relaunched as Baker Street in August last year and prides itself on using local suppliers.
Potatoes from GJS fruit and vegetable merchants in Hendon are used for home-cooked chips, after it was decided to banish frozen fries.
There are daily deliveries of fresh catch from Sunderland's Fish Quay.
Manager Ty Downey said: "Gordon Brown might not be helping the pensioners, but we will.
"The promotion has been running for a few weeks now and there are queues waiting for the doors to open.
"Some of the regulars have been coming for years, so they all know each other and you get a really nice atmosphere.
"There's one couple from Easington Colliery who come every day.
"We've been opening for the last three Sundays and we've sold out every time."
Baker Street opens from 9am-3pm on weekdays, with plans to open until 6.30pm from next week, and on Sundays from 11am to 4pm.
Offers include two-for-one on fish and chips and two carveries for 6.99.
