Big-hearted Rowley Regis restaurant owner donates opening night takings to charity
THE owner of a recently-opened Rowley Regis restaurant has donated more than £300 to Sandwell mayor’s charity appeal.
Wahidur Rahman opened The Hailstone Indian restaurant, Springfield Close, last month, bringing back into use a long-empty former pub.
He donated his entire opening night takings of £326 to the Mayor's Charity Fund which is raising money this year for Sandwell Women's Aid.
The mayor, Councillor Derek Rowley, said: "I was most grateful to receive this very kind donation from Mr Rahman and I wish him every success with his new restaurant."
The new premises opened in November and the restaurant has a five-star hygiene rating from Sandwell Council's environmental health team.
