ringwood eatery attracts locals tribune march 22 1989 c13 by kate gilderdale one of the most popular eating and meeting places for local farmers is ringwood restaurant on the southwest corner of hwy 48 and stouffville road elgin hastings estimates hes been visiting the location for about 50 years not the same restaurant though this place has only been built about four years he started coming because it was pretty well the only place around apart from a hotel across the road there are 12 regulars mostly cash crop boys although some of them are out of town two car loads have gone to florida this week explained elgin the biggest crowds come in between 8 and 9 am for breakfast and again at noon but rarely at night if theyre married they have to stay home he grinned coming in here beats work ing observed brian gibson how long do they usually stop it depends on how long the inter views are he laughed maybe two hours don thomas a 15year veteran of the restaurant added hastily youd better say five minutes i dont want the boss getting the wrong idea murray empringham is another local farmer who fre quents the restaurant ive been coming here for 10 years its kind of central and i come in through the winter he enjoys chatting with other farmers and although he sometimes visits greens that brian claims is too classy for the rest of us ringwood is his usual hangout elgin remembers the time he had to stay overnight i couldnt get home because the townline was blocked that was in 1946 on another occasion about eight years ago he once found himself stranded at the restaurant during a severe snow storm i had catue to milk at that time and i couldnt get out of here the police wouldnt let me leave he could have walked home he said but it wasnt safe cars were coming in here all smashed up he finally left at 8 pm when i got back i had to milk the cows at 930 he recalls the cows went the next year quipped don when the restaurant was re built he said it didnt really change much we didnt want it to change insisted elgin we get good ser vice here of all the hangouts this is the best and they give you better coffee than anywhere else he added to a chorus of general agreement we come in to hear whats go ing on they exchange gossip discuss crop prices and banter with the waitresses we really come in here to see them he grins trish keuken has been working at the restaurant for 10 years and describes the farmers as really nice and easy going if they arent here we miss them we joke a lot and they tease me all the time and thats what i like the most with such goodwill on both sides it looks as if the ringwood restaurant will continue to serve local farmers their favorite cof fee for many years to come double 219 139 queen 269 169 king 459 309 set
