ONLY six months after opening, Whites @ The Clockhouse restaurant in Berrington Road, Tenbury Wells, has collected two AA rosettes.

Up to October last year, business partners Chris Whitehead and Sarah Macdonald both worked for Waitrose.

Now, their enterprise of wine bar, coffee shop and upstairs restaurant seating 45 people, is receiving a lot of praise.

Sarah Macdonald said: "We are over the moon to have been awarded two AA rosettes within a few months.

New of this honour is fantastic for us and also for our hard-working chef Jonathan Waters."
