Geoff Lambell	1972/1973	In that era the Haldon Thatch Restaurant was run by an ex company director that we can only remember as ' Neville ' It was the first experience of Haute Cuisine that we had ever had the pleasure of. Whatever happened to that guy? He was outstanding!
Lucy Ambler	1970s	Regarding the above posting, I am delighted to say Nevile Ambler was my wonderful Dad. My sisters and I had the joy of growing up at Haldon Thatch until about 1977. It was my parent's first restaurant, my Mum Elizabeth was the brilliant and award winning chef. They went on to run Hendersons in Tiverton (now the Golden Panda) after retiring from the Hospitality industry. It was a joy to see this post as I have great memories of living there - birthdays in the field out back, picking plums from the trees, a tree falling close to the building during a storm etc. It was my Dad's dream to run Haldon Thatch after being made redundant in London. He was much loved by his regular customers, many became life-long friends. When he was sadly forced to retire in the late 80's, he carried on sharing his love and good humour by volunteering.
