Congratulations to The Turks Head

Massive congratulations to our good friends at The Turks Head as Mauli has been shortlisted once again in the final 5 for Best Chef at the Great British Pub Awards

Source: The Turks Head
Our fabulous Head Chef, Mauli comes to the Turks Head with an award winning global profile. His training in his native India was in classic French cooking. He started his career under the guidance of Antonio Carluccio, becoming part of a team gaining accolades as one of the Top Ten Italian restaurants in India.

Following a move to England in the early 2000’s his career lead him to different areas of the country, gaining local knowledge and understanding of the abundance of seasonal produce in the UK. During this time, which also included a stint at the famed Old Bridge at Huntingdon, he was able to progress through the kitchen ranks to Sous Chef at the Inn at Woburn, under a former Head Chef for HM the Queen.

His most recent position was as Head Chef at the Black Lion in the ever beautiful Long Melford, gaining a well earned reputation for fantastic locally sourced dishes. This has been the perfect opportunity to immerse himself in the Suffolk countryside and the amazing local game in particular. His menus at The Turks Head will reflect his fabulous career and use the finest local ingredients.

Reprogramming the SAM unit

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Sam unit in these Smart cars is not just a fuse box but the central control unit for all the cars electrical systems. When these units fail it can be a very costly repair. Usually your only solution is to take your car to Mercedes and get them to supply and fit a new Sam unit, they then perform all the relevant coding to it to make it work. 4Smart can repair / refurbish Sam units and offer a replacement service at a fraction of the cost of a new unit.

Sam faults are normally due to the ingress of water into the electronics, a common fault on roadsters. To start with the SAM will usually only partially fail. Maybe your hazard lights, heater or electric windows will become intermittent or stop working completely. if you act quickly at the first signs of failure a repair is usually possible.

The main beams have been done and one of the running lights has been changed.
