A top rated restaurant in Wilmslow is in the grounds of a prison and employs and trains up serving prisoners. The Clink Restaurant in Styal is one of four eateries in the UK giving a second chance to people whose lives have been blighted by crime.
The restaurant is found at a stunning chapel on the grounds of HMP Styal and has been opened since April 2015. The Clink offers full-time work and qualifications to its students, and has attracted rave reviews from diners.
Speaking to CheshireLive, Jenny Thomas, 36, who has managed the restaurant for 18 months said: “It’s within the prison grounds, we’re in the old chapel. It’s a beautiful building; it’s the chapel that was attached to the old children’s home here. All our students love to read up about the history of it, and they will speak to the customers about it.
