For 36 years Sara Burton's career revolved around school dinners for Notts pupils - firstly as a chef, working her way up to an area manager. But now she's the proud owner of her own tea room - a dream come true for the Arnold mum.
After a family get-together, she decided to quit her job and take the brave step of being her own boss, opening 1 Market Place Tea Rooms in Arnold. There was no question over Arnold being the location.
Sarah said: "It had to be Arnold. "I am an Arnold girl and definitely wanted an Arnold business. I started as a school chef at Arnold Hill, which is the school I went to. My family are all Arnold. My husband Ray's family are real old Arnold people. A lot of people knew Ray's dad and to me it was a massive thing to be in Arnold.
