Sandy strikes gold

Richard Fuller MP for North Bedfordshire and Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury was pleased to present three awards to Sandy businesses. Mr Fuller introduced the ‘Best in North Bedfordshire’ competition many years ago to support and encourage local businesses. Constituents were invited to vote for the ‘Best Pub’, ‘Best Cafe/Restaurant’ and ‘Best Independent Shop’ in North Bedfordshire.

The winner this year in the category of ‘Best Pub’ was The Four Horsemen Bar, an independent bar and coffee shop. Mr Fuller commented that the bar is ‘an important and cherished part of the Sandy community’. Pecoro were thrilled to receive the award of the ‘Best Cafe/Restaurant in North Bedfordshire’ for the second time. Pecoro is a small, informal, friendly family-run establishment that seeks to remind customers of Italy with a great selection of Italian food and beverages. The best ‘Independent Shop in North Bedfordshire’ went to Gilby’s of Sandy, a local hardware and ironmonger shop well known for its extensive and diverse stock that is essential for traders, DIY enthusiasts and gardeners.

A wonderful achievement for three very successful Sandy businesses.
