OSWESTRY diners have been playing their part to help raise money for charity by buying ‘invisible chips.
The portions of invisible chips were bought by generous diners at The Wynnstay in Church Street, and have helped hotel owners, The Coaching Inn Group, raise thousands of pounds for Hospitality Action.
Diners choosing the ‘dish’ are making a £2 donation to the catering industry charity, which is there to support anyone working in the hotels and catering industry in their time of need.

Adam Charity, the group’s chief operating officer, said the group’s whole ethos was based around providing ‘hospitality from the heart’ for all the market town communities it served.
“So, thanks to our core base of generous hearted community customers and our many hotel guests we have now been able to donate more than £35,000 to Hospitality Action over the past four years,” he added.
Founded back in 1837 the charity offers time of need support to all those whether working in hotels, restaurants, pubs, bars, cafes, schools, hospitals, or event venues.
