A HOLMFIRTH restaurant is trying to beat the credit crunch – by giving diners a lift there and home.

Cragrats Brasserie, in Hepworth, has come up with the plan in a bid to keep people coming through the doors – and it is already proving to be a big hit with the regulars.

The free pick-ups and drop-offs operate to anyone who is a member of the CragRats Diners Club living within a five-mile radius of the Brasserie. Membership of the club is free.

The service is also available from CragRats Cafe Bar in Holmfirth.
