There can’t be too many restaurants that share space with a car wash. Hungry customers arriving on the forecourt of La Famiglia, on the road between Keynsham and Saltford, are greeted with signs advertising ‘mini valet’ and ‘super wash and polish’.
The car wash is a separate daytime business - the building is owned by the same landlord - but the restaurant occupies a former petrol station and car showroom. The family behind this Italian restaurant renovated it and turned it into the smart dining room it is today.
Of course, the car wash closes before the restaurant opens for dinner. Customers can then use the forecourt as a free car park.
