The-eou-- ple, who named the restaurant after their son, opened for business in February and plan to eventually expand the restaurant to include a formal dining arca on the second floor. (photo by ,Dave Sykes) 1f it is every chef's dream to one day own his or her own restaurant, then Ben Merritt of Goderich is no exception. The English trained chef, and his wife, Carolyn, both experienced the exhiliration of ownership when they recently opened the doors to Bailey's on The Square. Today they are relishing the opportunity of free enterprise. Bailey's, named after the couple's two- year old son, is located in the former Court Restaurant on The Square which was owned and operated by Bill Gibson for many years. The interior of the building has been refur- bished and the couple is working on the decor of the downstairs pub which specializes in - Irish and Scottish draught beer and .an authentic English pub atmosphere. • "The pub was never really used before and we have rebuilt the bar and with the proper decor will try and create an Englsih pub atmosphere,” Ben explained. "It'.s a new twist for Goderich". Merritt, who apprenticed at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London, England came to Canada to work at The Church in Strat- ford. While on loan to Benmiller Inn he was offered a permanent position and it was there that he met his future wife, Carolyn. The Merritts became known in Goderich when they leased the kitchen operation at the Maitland Country Club, an arrangement that worked well for both parties. While Bailey's is but a few months old, both Ben and Carolyn have ambitious plans for their new business. "This is just the beginning,” Carolyn sug- gests. "We would like to expand upstairs and create a formal dining area with large windows overlooking The Square. The Merritts are quick to credit the local business community in helping and suppor- ting the couple .in pursuit of their dream. But, they insist, one dream leads to another.
