SHRENE'S

The name came out as "Shrene's" because someone couldn't spell the wifes name?

There is a new greasey pitstop opened up for business on the A6 just outside of Market Harborough heading towards Desborough.

The snack wagon inplace and open for business.

It's run by the wife of a former work colleague, a one Mr Valentine. He recently took voluntary redundancy, and with part of his settlement he bought this little burger wagon for his misses.

Oddjob! Because that is what he does nowadays, the oddjob that doesn't involve to much effort. Fetch the wife some fags if she runs out, that sort of thing. Enjoying fulltime leisure following redundancy, lurks here because if he was at home, he'd have to make his own cuppa!

Its a pucker little set-up, nice and clean, very reasonably priced, and good quality knosh. Bacon, sausages etc are sourced from local butchers, and you can tell it.

The long suffering other half! She's the host, chef, dishwasher and everything else.

Anyway, Mr Valentine's acquired a nickname from the many patrons of this establishment, "Oddjob!" Given to him, because he doesnt do a great deal apart from fetching the odd thing for his misses now and then, being a retired chap (DFA). Those that know him of old, would say that not a great deal has changed there at all.

Excellent value indeed and very tasty! 10 out of 10!

Anyway, all those that know him, I'm sure would wish him and his wife all the best for the future.



Anyway, its early days, with them having some good weeks and some bad ones. They have developed a number of regulars who frequent the wagon, hope it continues to improve for them.

Oddjob is away on a ciggy run.
