September 11, 2020. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Hunts Point Market.

Gaven is the chef and the owner. Today Anna and I ate there for lunch. In addition I chatted with Tina about catering for next year so I was pleased with the food and with the idea that they can help me next summer. This summer I had no company but next summer will be a different story. Gavin bought a house in Hunts Point and build his market and cafe in front of the house on Highway 3. He has limited seating in the building and several picnic tables outside. It opened last summer and has done well even through the covid shutdown.. He did carry out. Early last summer, Tina retired to Liverpool after selling her catering business in Toronto. She bought a house just down the road from Larry and Jan. After she settled into her house, Tina went to meet Gavin and offered her help part time. By then he was getting busy and overworked so was glad of the help. No question that Tina is the most experienced chef in the Liverpool area. Their menu is limited but unusual and their food is delicious. And they also cater which pleases me. The market is clean as a whistle and charming. I love it when things work out. Gavin rents the house behind the market and lives in the apartment above the market. We ate inside the market but when we were eating, there was a steady stream of people coming in to get carryout food. Every day they prepare a dinner that people can buy, take home and cook. Very clever. Today Tina told us that they never have food left over at the end of the day so they are running a successful business. All summer, Tina worked full time which she did not really want to do. But now in the Fall she will work part time, which pleases her. Our goal at the beginning of the summer was to have lunch in every restaurant in the area. Now we can cross off Hunts Point Market. We had lunch there today and it was good.
