A true Nottingham legend. Our thoughts are with Stefan's loved ones
The owner of one of Nottingham's best-loved greasy spoon cafes has died at the age of 60. Stefan Horan took over BobbersMill Cafe in 1997, by which time it had been going for more than 50 years.
"He'd always come home smelling of diesel so bacon was a bit better than the diesel when he bought the cafe," said Daniel. "He used to get taken into the cafe as a boy and that was the case for a lot of the older guys around Nottingham, so he was always aware of it. Everybody of a certain age knows the cafe.
When Mr Horan bought BobbersMill Cafe, customer numbers had been in gradual decline for a long time but he built it up, even batting off competition when McDonald's opened across the road. "He was super committed to the cafe. He respected everyone who came in and that's unusual for a lot of places. It was a very eclectic customer base, every type of person came in. He'd lend people money, he'd hate to see them struggling more than they had to."
