Back in the 1990s there was a very popular restaurant at Whitemore, about 20 minutes’ drive from Launceston. It was called Gossips, and you’d be met at the door by John Glover, and his wife Sue was the chef out the back in the kitchen. Chris Sayer talks to John and Sue about Gossips, and how they came to operate this very popular restaurant throughout the 1990s before it closed, heralding the end of the era of country restaurants.
