Best business idea in the last year: "Between October and March, we hold a steak and kidney pudding night, which has

proved popular, so I was thinking of another promotion for the spring and summer. Our fish supplier, Chris Bean, started to give us some local spider crabs so we now hold

regular Wednesday Spider Crab Nights. Chris catches them on a Tuesday and they appear in various guises on the Wednesday

evening menu. If we have any left, we crack the shells and make a stock for the spider crab soup. The spider crab is something the British public isn't too familiar with and it's much sweeter than the brown meat."
