Bruce, Chris and Kelly plan to make the
Sunny Day Diner a "must" in the Lincoln-Woodstock
area. They will continue the tradition of the classic New England
Diner ~ good food, quality service, and a congenial atmosphere. To
this end, they have opened an in-house
bakery to make their own breads rolls, and deserts. Special
requests, and retail orders are welcome. They will also offer catering
services.
The Diner itself is one of the last
built by the Master Comany of Pequannock, New Jersey. Built in 1958,
it represents the Master Tradition of the "Classic Diner".
For many Years it was Stoney's Diner in Dover, New Hampshire. It was
moved to Lincoln in 1988.
