Cranks was an innovative chain of English wholefood vegetarian restaurants. It was founded and owned by David and Kay Canter and Daphne Swann (the authors of this book), and its flagship restaurant was at Marshall Street in the West End of London. The style of decor was also new, although owing something to 1950s coffee bars. There were solid natural coloured oak tables, hand thrown stoneware pottery, heather brown quarry tiles, woven basket lampshades and hand woven seat covers. David Canter died in 1981. In 1987 Kay Canter and Daphne Swann sold Cranks to Guinness. Opening more branches under a new business plan, the business encountered financial difficulties, attributed by some to the now dated image. It was then bought and sold several times, and in the 1990s was rebranded, bringing it in line with contemporary sandwich bars. Cranks has been seen as a major factor in the spread of vegetarianism in recent decades. During its heyday it attracted many celebrities who dined there, including Princess Diana, Sir Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, and Sir Cliff Richard. It is now a sandwich making business and all the restaurants have sadly closed. Quite scarce in this early impression.
