Regular readers of this blog will know that I have a particular interest (or obsession?) in Staffordshire Oatcakes. I've finally got round to visiting all the 42 shops I am aware of (that are still trading) that sell this traditional food. I've deliberately left a good shop for the final entry.George Garner has already been featured here in this blog in May 2008, he used to run Ye Olde Oatcake Shoppe in Cheadle, and before that one in Bentilee.
The shop in Weston Coyney is a brand new business (well it opened just over a year ago) and is run by George, his wife Betty, daughters Teresa and Tracy and their husbands Karl and Andrew. They even do special gluten free oatcakes and pikelets.
It's nice to see a traditional food being kept alive in modern, clean premises - they proudly display their excellent food hygiene assessment on the wall:
It's nice to know that the Staffordshire Oatcake, which has had a fascinating past, also has a great future.

It's half term this week, so if you've got children and don't know the Potteries, why not take them to the excellent Gladstone Pottery Museum and take them to a proper Staffordshire Oatcake shop? There's not many places these days where you can get something hot and tasty and change from a £1!
