EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant world of Cranks, the pioneering wholefood and vegetarian restaurant chain that captured the hearts and taste buds of Londoners in the 1960s. This advertisement from 1966 invites you to explore the Cranks Shop and Crank Salad Table, a small yet significant part of this innovative business. Founded by Daphne Swann and the Canter couple, David and Kay, in 1961, Cranks quickly gained popularity as a beacon of health-conscious eating and alternative lifestyles. With a commitment to serving wholesome, plant-based meals, Cranks became a beloved destination for vegetarians and food enthusiasts alike. The Cranks Shop showcased an extensive range of hard-to-find ingredients, while the Crank Salad Table offered an enticing array of vegetarian dishes, all served on a communal table. The concept of shared dining tables was a bold move at the time, fostering a sense of community among customers. By the 1980s, Cranks had expanded into a successful chain of restaurants and cafes, and their popular cookbooks graced the shelves of kitchens across the UK. Though the times have changed, and the Cranks chain has dwindled, the legacy of this groundbreaking business lives on. Today, only one Cranks restaurant remains in the UK, nestled in the picturesque town of Totnes in Devon. A visit to this historic establishment offers a glimpse into the rich history of vegetarian dining and the enduring appeal of Cranks' wholesome, plant-based offerings.
