Ozzy - best of luck with your venture.
Norman McNamara ran the cafe sometime probably late 1970s/80s, they lived at the time in Tilmanstone previously running the cafe at Dove's Corner there.

Ozay - it's a good point about sausages. There are quite a few cafes in the area as I'm sure you know. You really need something that the others don't do,e.g. solely Kentish produce, Korkers sausages, good quality bacon and so on.
Although the initial outlay may be more and you'll have to charge a bit more to cover, stories of good quality food will spread around and you'll find yourself busy.
The quality of the food in the others is all very similar, so try and think of a product that'll make you stand out from the crowd.

Yes a fine sausage is a way to a mans heart at breakfast time. Well for me it is anyway, i'm sure you could strike a deal with a local butcher or somewhere like farthingloe.
