I must congratulate you on your excellent article showcasing local businesses that have kept going throughout the Covid outbreak.

I am sure that when the hordes descend in July and August that these businesses will remember where their bread and butter lies.

Having just enjoyed a fantastic roast takeaway with no less than six veg from the Spyway at Askerswell I feel stirred to point out this glaring omission from your article.

Mark and Laura have not only provided a takeaway and collection service for the village and beyond but kept us draught real ale lovers going with offerings from those Dorset brewers that have not just pulled down the shutters.

As far as I am aware this complete service is unique.
