News provided by Pressat Wire on Tuesday 25th Mar 2014
The Minnis Bar & Restaurant in Birchington, Kent has added ‘Sir Galahad’, a 1964 California Sundial split screen VW camper van to its outside catering team.

Sir Galahad has spent the past two years being lovingly restored to its full splendour by Lancashire-based Volkeswagon specialist Morecambe & Wize.
“Although he is getting on in years, he’s very young at heart and has the heart and soul of a true knight,” said Minnis’ chef patron chef Jason Freedman, who added, “He loves being on show and would love to be at your party.”
The vehicle can also be used as a photo booth or firm backdrop

Editors’ Notes:
Minnis began life as a beachside café in 1934. It enjoys unparalleled views over the Kent shoreline and the Roman fort at Reculver, where the Barnes-Wallace's bouncing-bomb was tested. The stunning skies at sunset have attracted many artists over the years, most famously JWM Turner, after whom the Turner Contemporary gallery in nearby Margate was named. Today the long sandy beach, one of the finest on the north Kent coast, enjoys prestigious Blue Flag status.
The Minnis Bar & Restaurant is a relaxed, stylish restaurant that offers an outstanding a la carte dining experience with spectacular sunsets and panoramic views across MinnisBay
Chef patron is Jason Freedman, a member of the Master Chefs of Great Britain and the Academie Culinaire de France, whose main area of interest lies in seafood and meat-based dishes, which is evident in the ever-evolving and varied menu at The Minnis. Jason sources his ingredients from local suppliers to ensure quality and to support the community.
The Minnis also cures, pickles, brines, salts and smokes its own produce where the unique flavours that these ancient culinary crafts bring to the abundance of high quality meat, game, fish and seafood available locally. As a result the menu contains homemade salt beef, pastrami, sweet-cured pork loin, venison, corned beef, sausages and chorizo accompanied by homemade pickles and chutneys.
There are 72 covers in ground floor restaurant, 20 in the bar, 50 upstairs (which is available for private dining. The al fresco area is the biggest in England – 4 miles long – and has a dedicated take-away service for those who wish to have their lunch on the beach.
