Austin Russell had a vision that extended beyond the mere profit margins of a business. He wanted to create a welcoming space that would become the heart of his parish, St Thomas.

With unwavering determination and a deep sense of community spirit, he embarked on the journey of starting with a restaurant. The location, nestled in the picturesque countryside, was not just about offering travellers a comfortable place to eat; it was about becoming a hub for local gatherings, celebrations, and cultural events. Mr Russell’s commitment to his community was evident in his hiring practices, as he sought to employ residents from the community. With each new employee, Austin saw an opportunity to change lives and provide a source of income and dignity to those who needed it most.
