  Locks Heath’s long awaited replacement for Café Lulworth, ‘Nautical Nellie’s’ opened its doors about a month ago, so I thought I’d pop along and see what I thought. Nautical Nellie’s is run by Tracey Thurlow, who previously managed the Cork and Cheese in Park Gate. She is a very busy woman – she never has time to talk to me, so I have no comments from her yet. I have to say...
