The story of Clay's, an independent Indian restaurant in Caversham, Berkshire, is testament to the level of wild-eyed determination needed to follow your dreams and open your own place.The current hospitality climate suggests that, by 2024, my closest restaurant on the east London/Essex border could well be the Cinnabon concession at my local Asda, a profitable meeting of big brands selling 1,090 calorie-a-whirl, factory-made caramel PecanBons, so my hope is that, by the time the current madness eventually ends, at least some family-run, bespoke, flights of the imagination such as Clay's will have survived.
