The owner of one of Nottingham's best-loved greasy spoon cafes has died at the age of 60. Stefan Horan took over BobbersMill Cafe in 1997, by which time it had been going for more than 50 years.
Mr Horan, of Arnold, passed away on February 8 after pneumonia brought on a heart attack. The hard-working father-of-three improved the fortunes of the cafe which was famous for its doorstep 'sos' sandwiches - first served in 1943 - and no-nonsense grub. While some would be offended by the greasy spoon description, Mr Horan proudly stood by it.
His funeral will take place on Monday, March 13 at Gedling Crematorium at 1pm. His eldest son Daniel Horan said: "As some of the staff will be attending we'll be closing the cafe. My dad's only closed it once in 25 years and that was my wedding day, even though he wanted to open in the morning until my mum told him off."
